DeWanna Bonner's stint in Indiana was short-lived as she was waived in June. Following her exit from the Fever, the veteran forward rejoined the Phoenix Mercury on July 8.

"DB did a huge favor to the Fever. We are better without her," another fan said.
"If there's one person that I really want to see fail in this league, that's this DB scammer!" another fan said.

Another fan highlighted the apparent lack of effort in DeWanna Bonner's shot attempt.

"It’s so wild seeing people get their shot blocked in the WNBA. It’s usually with the other person not even jumping. Great play by Stewie but so weird lol," the fan commented.

"Bonner quit on the play," another fan said.
"Fake pump so weak, Stewie didn't even bother jumping," another fan said.

The Mercury lost their third straight game on Friday. Bonner ended the night with nine points, four rebounds and two assists.

DeWanna Bonner clears the air on her move to Phoenix from Indiana

DeWanna Bonner was a crucial player for the Fever when Caitlin Clark was sidelined for five games with a quadriceps injury. However, after Clark's return, Bonner missed five straight games due to personal reasons. Following her absence in the Fever's 94-86 win over the Storm on Jun. 24, she was waived.

Reports claimed that Bonner was not pleased with playing a bench role at Indiana. However, in an interview on Friday, the Mercury veteran said that she had no issues playing off the bench.

"That wasn't ever the issue. That's never been me," Bonner said. "I have no problems coming off the bench. I have never been that player. I don't feel like I have that reputation."

When asked if she would do anything differently in her career, DeWanna Bonner accepted that she would not.
