DeWanna Bonner Becomes Third-Highest WNBA Scorer Across Teams

DeWanna Bonner, an Indiana Fever star and Auburn University alumna, became the third all-time leading scorer in WNBA history during the Fever's season opener victory over the Chicago Sky. She surpassed Hall of Famer Tina Thompson with 7,489 points, trailing only Diana Taurasi and Tina Charles, who is still active with the Connecticut Sun. Bonner, a 15-year WNBA veteran and two-time champion, expressed gratitude for the milestone and emphasized her goal of winning another championship. Fever teammates, including Caitlin Clark, intentionally set up plays to help Bonner achieve this historic feat, reflecting strong team camaraderie. Bonner's fiancée, Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas, voiced pride and excitement over Bonner’s achievement and the couple’s upcoming matchup when their teams face off in July. Fever coach Stephanie White, who has coached Bonner before, praised her longevity, efficiency, and scoring prowess throughout her career.
