Overview

  • DeWanna Bonner has missed Indiana’s last four games since June 10 for personal reasons and has told league sources she does not plan to return this season.
  • Front Office Sports reports that Bonner has named the Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream as her preferred trade destinations.
  • Caitlin Clark has struggled from deep, going 1-for-17 on three-point attempts in recent games, though she maintains strong scoring and playmaking contributions.
  • Fans and pundits have faulted the Fever front office for its offseason signings and midseason moves after Bonner’s reduced role and the release of Aari McDonald.
  • Coach Stephanie White says she has had little dialogue with Bonner lately and is concentrating on maximizing the performance of the available roster as the Fever seek to halt a two-game slide.
