WNBA star Sophie Cunningham might officially be off the market. Photos from her 30th birthday bash hit social media, and they’ve got everyone talking after she was snapped looking super cozy with a mystery man while rocking a green-and-yellow bikini. Fans absolutely lost it, speculating like crazy about who this guy could be, and now we finally have a name: Frank Adams, according to The Spun.
Who Exactly Is Frank Adams?
So, who’s the man wrapped up with the Indiana Fever star? Frank Adams is the head athletic trainer for the Grand Canyon University men’s basketball program down in Phoenix, Arizona. He joined GCU’s sports medicine crew in 2025, but get this, before that, he spent six years as an assistant athletic trainer with the Phoenix Suns. His bio for GCU even confirms he worked super close with players and performance staff, helping design individualized care plans and keeping athletes healthy through those grueling seasons. Now, if that’s not an interesting connection, I don’t know what is. Cunningham, you’ll remember, spent her first six WNBA seasons with the Phoenix Mercury before she got traded to the Fever ahead of the 2025 season. So yeah, these two were definitely in the same Phoenix basketball orbit for years, though no one’s said exactly how they linked up.
A Basketball Career Built From The Ground Up
Adams didn’t just pop up on the NBA scene. Before his time with the Suns, he was the head athletic trainer for the Iowa Wolves, the Minnesota Timberwolves’ G League affiliate. He ran their whole sports medicine program and was on top of day-to-day player care. Talk about hands-on experience! Before that, he spent a couple of years from 2015 to 2017 as a graduate athletic assistant at Abilene Christian, working with multiple sports programs, and even interned in sports medicine at NC State. The guy’s been grinding for a while.
Adams himself even played college hoops. He grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and started his college career at Young Harris College, spending three years on their men’s basketball team. He then transferred to Florida Southern, finished his playing career there, and earned his bachelor’s degree in athletic training. He later went on to get his Master’s in Education in Kinesiology, sport and recreation from Hardin-Simmons. The dude clearly lives and breathes basketball, which makes this whole situation even more intriguing.
What Happens Next?
For now, Cunningham and Adams haven’t publicly confirmed anything, so technically, this romance is still just speculation. But those photos? They speak volumes. Everyone’s buzzing to see if these two go official and what this new pairing means for one of the WNBA’s biggest stars. Keep your eyes peeled, because something tells me this story is just getting started.
