DeWanna Bonner Signs One-Year Deal with Indiana Fever

DeWanna Bonner has signed a one-year deal with the Indiana Fever, marking a significant addition to the team's roster as they aim for a championship run alongside rising star Caitlin Clark. Bonner, a six-time All-Star with a 15-year WNBA career, averaged 15 points and six rebounds last season with the Connecticut Sun, where her departure followed a major roster overhaul. The Fever previously traded away NaLyssa Smith and have signed Natasha Howard and Sophie Cunningham, solidifying their lineup with veteran talent. Bonner's defensive skills and experience will be crucial in improving the Fever's performance, especially after they ranked near the bottom in defense last season. Her reunion with head coach Stephanie White, who previously coached her at the Sun, is expected to enhance team chemistry and performance. The Fever's strategy appears to focus on building a competitive team around Clark and Bonner, shifting their status from a middle-tier team to a potential title contender.
