DeWanna Bonner took the time to post on social media even as rumors of her potential departure from the Indiana Fever gathered steam.
Bonner has been away from action due to "personal reasons" for the past five games. After Bonner was ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Seattle Storm, Anne Costabile reported that the Fever are exploring the market.
"According to multiple league sources, the two-time WNBA champion has no interest in returning to play for the Fever. Those same sources indicated Bonnerโs preferred landing spots are with the Phoenix Mercury or the Atlanta Dream," Costabile wrote.
Interestingly, Bonner played her last game against the Dream, while her fiancรฉe, Alyssa Thomas, played on the Mercury. The couple played together last year on the Sun and were moved last offseason.
While the Fever were in action against the Storm in the fourth quarter on Tuesday, Bonner posted pictures of her daughter, captioning them:
"My greatest loves!! I love you! ๐ค๐ซถ๐พ"
Thomas reacted to the post with three red hearts, while Fever forward Natasha Howard's wife, Jac'Eil, commented, "Family โค๏ธ."
Costabile did not provide a reason for Bonner's reported desire not to return. She averaged a career low 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds in nine games and lost her starting spot to Lexie Hull after fitness concerns three games into the season.
Her latest post with her kids, potentially living away from them, and her limited role could be among the factors in her reported wish to leave the Fever.
Fever coach Stephanie White and DeWanna Bonner's fiancรฉe Alyssa Thomas react to trade reports
It didn't take reporters long to ask Fever coach Stephanie White and DeWanna Bonner's fiancรฉe, Alyssa Thomas, about reports of the veteran forward wanting a move out of Indiana. White said she was concerned about players with the team rather than the ones not around.
"I havenโt had a lot of conversations with her recently, really focused on the team we have right here and what we need to do to position ourselves to win," White said.
Meanwhile, Thomas declined to comment after a reporter asked about Bonner's preference to move to Phoenix with her.
