Bonner was waived by the Indiana Fever on June 25 after missing five games due to "personal reasons." Bonner signed with the Mercury, the same team her fiancée Alyssa Thomas plays on, in July.

The 6-foot-4 guard/forward Bonner is back with the WNBA team that drafted her No. 5 in 2009. She spent 10 seasons in Phoenix and won two WNBA titles with the franchise. Then, after five seasons with the Connecticut Sun, Bonner signed as a free agent this year with Indiana but played just nine games with the Fever.

Cut loose by the Indiana Fever, forward DeWanna Bonner comes back to where she started her career, rejoining fiancée Alyssa Thomas.
