The Connecticut Sun have some of the best team chemistry in the WNBA, playing a crucial role in their run to the semifinals in 2024. The Sun's players are consistently on the same page, especially the pairing of DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas.
Working alongside your partner is a rare honor, let alone on a professional basketball court. Bonner and Thomas have had the pleasure of lining up on the court together since the 2020 WNBA season. The couple began dating after Bonner was traded to Connecticut from the Phoenix Mercury and got engaged during the 2023 WNBA All-Star break.
On Monday afternoon, Bonner shared a post of the couple on Instagram which garnered immense support from their friends and peers.
