DeWanna Bonner's Short Fever Stint and Bitter End

DeWanna Bonner's time with the Indiana Fever in 2025 was marked by a rapid ascent and a contentious departure.

Bonner initially joined the Fever through free agency on February 6, 2025, expressing excitement about contributing to a rising team. Her early season included being featured on a Sports Illustrated cover with teammates like Caitlin Clark and participating in the opening day game on May 17, 2025.

However, her role shifted, and she began coming off the bench by May 24, 2025. Bonner was last active for the Fever on June 10, 2025, before being absent for personal reasons. By June 24, 2025, reports surfaced that Bonner sought a trade, reportedly to join her fiancée's team, the Phoenix Mercury.

The Indiana Fever released Bonner on June 25, 2025, unable to secure a trade. She subsequently signed with the Phoenix Mercury on July 8, 2025, reuniting with her fiancée. Tensions appear to remain between Bonner and her former Fever teammates, adding intrigue to their upcoming matchups.
