Cunningham Criticizes Bonner’s Fever Exit, Sparks Debate
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham publicly addressed DeWanna Bonner's abrupt exit from the Fever, expressing disappointment over Bonner's lack of communication with teammates before Bonner rejoined the Phoenix Mercury and reunited with her fiancée. Bonner, a six-time WNBA All-Star, played only nine games for Indiana before leaving for personal reasons, was waived, and then signed with Phoenix. Cunningham discussed on her podcast that even a simple goodbye message would have shown professionalism and reduced awkwardness within the team. Bonner's return to Indianapolis was met with boos from Fever fans—a reaction Mercury star Kahleah Copper called disrespectful, though Cunningham considered it an expected response. Despite her criticism, Cunningham expressed continued respect for Bonner's career and wished her happiness as she approaches retirement. The situation has sparked wider WNBA debates about player professionalism, fan conduct, and communication during team changes.
