The Indiana Fever star is currently a free agent as the WNBA negotiates his contract. While chatting with Caleb Pressley for Sundae Conversation, the host asked her if she got paid, to which she replied, “Oh, you know, barely, but we’re still surviving.”
Pressley replied: “If the WNBA fucks you, you’ll find a plan B.”
Cunningham laughed before correcting him, replying: “Not a plan B. Project B.”
Pressley continued to elicit some details from Cunningham, asking if she planned to play against Saudi Arabia. However, it doesn’t appear to be on Cunningham’s radar, as she doesn’t think Saudi Arabia will give millions of dollars to female athletes to play in their league.

“No Saudi money is involved,” she said.
Pressley then asked if she would consider creating her own OnlyFans for financial compensation, a move made by other professional athletes such as Liz Cambage, Paige VanZant, Ebanie Bridges, and more. He added that she would need the league’s popularity to gain a following since she has made a name for herself off the field.
“No, I think you need the leagues because that’s what gives you the platform to have all these fans,” she explained.
She did, however, understand why people with multiple fans and followers choose to go to mainstream platforms to create content.

“OnlyFans can be a platform in itself,” she said, adding, “Maybe Project B should support this platform.”
Cunningham didn’t clearly answer whether she saw this as a possibility, but only time will tell.
Where is the WNBA in negotiations currently?
As 2026 approaches, a deal between the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association has yet to be reached. According to an update by ESPNWNBA President Nneka Ogwumike revealed that a strike could take place there, which the WNBA calls “an inevitable response to the state of negotiations with the WNBA and its teams.”

WNBA players are demanding a greater share of revenue, a salary system based on league growth and other benefits for child care and eventually retirement.
“That means we could potentially strike if necessary, but that doesn’t mean we want that to happen,” Ogwumike told ESPN. “But we have it in our arsenal to be able to get exactly what we need, which is a fair deal that represents our value in a very meaningful way.”
