DeWanna Bonner improved to No. 3 on the WNBA all-time scoring list during a memorable debut with the Indiana Fever on Saturday. The achievement was part of the Fever’s 93-58 dismantling of the Chicago Sky.
Bonner contributed to the dominant victory with seven points, increasing her total career points to 7,482. She only sits behind now-retired Diana Taurasi (10,646) and Tina Charles (7,696), who is currently with the Connecticut Sun, on the all-time scoring list.
Bonner’s historic moment came with 3:13 remaining in the game when she sank two free throws. She raised her arms in celebration and the sold-out crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse gave her a standing ovation.
“I think I’m just grateful. Most people don’t get up there,” Bonner said. “That’s really hard to do. It’s really hard to be in that position and to be in the league this long. You’ve seen all the cuts that happened this week with great talented players, so just to be in that position to get there was just, I don’t know, I’m just grateful. I just try to soak in the moment.”
