In a surprising move, veteran WNBA All-Star DeWanna Bonner has decided to sign with the Indiana Fever as a free agent after spending five seasons with the Connecticut Sun. Bonner, a six-time All-Star and two-time WNBA champion, will bring her wealth of experience to a young Indiana team that includes rising stars Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston.
Many had speculated that Bonner would return to the Phoenix Mercury, where she spent the majority of her career and where her fiancée Alyssa Thomas currently plays. However, she ultimately chose to join forces with Fever head coach Stephanie White, reuniting the two former colleagues.
Bonner’s departure from the Sun marks the loss of their entire 2024 starting lineup during the offseason. With key players like Thomas and Ty Harris headed to Phoenix, and DiJonai Carrington reportedly traded to the Dallas Wings, the Sun will be undergoing a rebuilding phase under new head coach Rachid Meziane.
Meanwhile, the Fever have been making some strong moves during the offseason, including re-signing Kelsey Mitchell to a supermax contract and acquiring Sophie Cunningham in a three-team deal. With Bonner now on their roster, the Fever are looking to make some noise in the upcoming season.
