Sophie Cunningham, Napheesa Collier Featured In ‘Sports Illustrated’ Swimsuit Edition

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier, and Team USA sprinter Melissa Jefferson-Wooden are among the athlete models featured in the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. All three were photographed by Katherine Goguen on Captiva Island, Florida. Cunningham's shoot took place specifically at the South Seas Resort, and she marked the occasion on Instagram with the caption "year 1 with @si_swimsuit, AHHHH! "I truly do think, like, go kick ass out on the court, and then go kick ass out in the real world being a woman who is strong, who is powerful and who has a mindset that she can do anything." Cunningham told Sports Illustrated.
