Indiana Fever injury report: Concerns rise as 2x WNBA champion ruled out of showdown vs Connecticut Sun (June 17)

The Indiana Fever will be without veteran forward DeWanna Bonner for a second straight game due to personal reasons. Bonner was listed on the Fever’s injury report ahead of Tuesday’s matchup against the Connecticut Sun.

The two-time WNBA champion also missed the team’s previous outing, a dominant 102-88 win over the New York Liberty. While the exact reason for her absence has not been disclosed, coach Stephanie White recently shared that Bonner is doing as well as possible under the circumstances.

Following the news of her continued absence, Fever fans expressed concern for Bonner and sent messages of support.

Kind of worried about DB. Hope she snd her family are ok. Looking forward to getting her back on the team.

DeWanna Bonner joined the Indiana Fever in the offseason, signing a one-year, $200,000 deal in free agency. While her presence has brought valuable veteran leadership and championship experience to the young roster, she has yet to fully hit her stride on the court.

Bonner began the season in the starting lineup but was later moved to a bench role, where she continued to log meaningful minutes before stepping away from the team. Still searching for her breakout game with Indiana, the seasoned forward is averaging 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds per contest.
