On Tuesday, the Fever guard appeared as a guest on the "Show Me Something" podcast, where she called out Bonner's professionalism on the way she handled her departure.

"It's okay to be professional about it and send a text to your teammates," Cunningham said. "Send a text and be like, 'Hey, love you guys.' Or, you don't even have to say 'Love you guys.' Just like, 'Hey, sorry this didn't work out. Good luck.' You know what I mean?"
