Bonner is leaving the Mercury with Phoenix out of playoff contention, so where could the 39-year-old land?
The Mercury and DeWanna Bonner have reached an agreement to buy out her contract. Once she clears waivers, the six-time All-Star will look for a chance to sign as a free agent with a playoff team.
Phoenix quickly filled DeWanna Bonner’s roster spot by giving an undrafted rookie a potentially valuable late-season opportunity.
If Bonner clears waivers, she will become a free agent and can sign with a contender looking to make a deep playoff run.
The Atlanta Dream, currently the 4th-ranked team in the WNBA, have added DeWanna Bonner, one of the league’s most illustrious playoff performances.
Two days after the Phoenix Mercury got eliminated from playoff contention with their 99-89 loss to the Atlanta Dream on Saturday, DeWanna Bonner decided to leave the Mercury. She and the Mercury reached a mutual contract buyout that allowed her to find a title contender so she could pursue her third WNBA championship.
