Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanya Bonner has agreed to a buyout and will join the Atlanta Dream this season. The 39-year-old, who averaged 10.6 points and 6.1 rebounds for the Mercury this campaign, is expected to be her final year in the WNBA. The Mercury, currently 13-26, are out of the playoff race, making Bonner's move a strategic one.
"DeWanya will always be part of the Mercury family," said general manager Nick U’Ren, highlighting their respect for her. Bonner, who has 16 playoff appearances in her 17-year pro career, brings significant experience and skill to the Dream. Known as the WNBA's all-time leader in playoff rebounds, she adds scoring depth and versatility to the team, particularly with the return of injured star Jordin Canada.
Her addition fills a void left by the absence of Angel Reese, who has missed much of the season with injuries.
