WAG Alert! 🚨💅
Obviously she’s gorgeous. But the thing is, she’s also an athlete herself.
You know what I love about Cade Cunningham? He’ll drop 24 in the playoffs, take a brutal 2-point L to the Knicks in Game 3 (NBA rumors already going off), and still keep his personal life quieter than most people in the NBA. But if you’ve been paying attention (and I mean really paying attention), you’d know Cade’s got a girl at home: Nikia Withers.
And like most WAGs who’ve seen the inside of an NBA arena before they met their current boo, this isn’t her first athlete. We’re talking past flings with Klay Thompson and D’Angelo Russell. So yes, obviously she’s gorgeous. But the thing is, she’s also an athlete herself. No, not in the W, so there’s still that juicy degree of separation. But yeah, she played volleyball. The kind with scholarship offers and conference honors.

High-flyer @nikia Withers joined the Women of Troy as a transfer in 2015 and collected 600 kills over the course of two seasons including 321 in 2017 to help #USCWVB advance to the #NCAAVB regional final.

They’ve been together since 2021. She’s 28. He’s 23. Do that math however you want, but I’m not judging anyone who can land one of the most underrated players in the NBA.
Okay, but She’s Kinda Good at Her Job, Too
Nikia played at USC, majored in law, then played pro with Athletes Unlimited. That’s the one where players draft each other weekly, and you rack up points like fantasy volleyball. She even coached for a bit before that. Her brother is NFL vet Marcedes Lewis, so she’s been around in the sports world.
And honestly, she seems chill. She’s just…existing, which in this space is kind of rare.

Cade’s Home Game Is Strong Too
Cade’s also a dad. His daughter Riley was born in 2018, way before the Cade Cunningham contract was even a concept. The mom’s identity is private, and Riley lives mostly in Texas, but he talks about her in interviews like she’s his actual world. Says she’s his motivation. Says a lot without saying much, kind of like his game.
Niki Withers the spark plug! 🌟
First, it’s a block and then it’s a kill from @nikia when Team Drews needs it late in the match. Immediate impact.📷@JadeHewittMedia | @AUProSports pic.twitter.com/mB3hHhroZk

And for someone coming off Cade Cunningham’s injury just a couple weeks ago, and still putting up Cade Cunningham stats like 24 points and 11 assists in a game? Guy’s locked in. Quiet, underrated, and maybe even kind of winning.

I’d say I’m hoping to see more of Nikia Withers in NBA news, but I love her low-key life with Cade. They just need to keep doing them.
