Fever waive veteran Bonner, who says team fit 'did not work out'
The Indiana Fever have waived guard/forward DeWanna Bonner, one of their key free agent acquisitions in the offseason, after she had missed five games due to what was termed personal reasons.
The Fever have signed guard Aari McDonald, who was with the team earlier on an injury hardship contract, for the rest of the season.
"I want to sincerely thank the Indiana Fever for the opportunity to be part of the Fever franchise," Bonner said in a news release. "Despite our shared goals and excitement heading into the season, I felt the fit did not work out and I appreciate the organization's willingness to grant my request to move on, particularly at this point in my career. I wish the Fever great success as they continue to build around this dynamic group of young players."
Bonner averaged in double figures in scoring in each of her 15 previous seasons in the WNBA and has been a full-time starter since 2012. She started just three of the nine Fever games she appeared in and averaged 7.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
