INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — The Indiana Fever rolled out a new starting lineup as they hosted the 2024 WNBA champion New York Liberty on Saturday afternoon. For the first time this season, the Fever played six time All-Star DeWanna Bonner off the bench, and she scored only two points in her 23 reserve minutes in a 90-88 loss.
Bonner, also known as DB, moved into third place on the league’s all-time scoring list in the Fever’s first home game, but the scoring has overall been anemic for the two-time WNBA champion.
Coming out of Auburn, Bonner was a role player for the Phoenix Mercury. She played significant minutes for a team stacked with talents like Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner. In 2020, the Alabama native joined the Connecticut Sun in hopes of playing a larger role. In five seasons with the Sun, Bonner averaged over 16 points per game. In four games for the Fever, Bonner is averaging less than three points per game.
