Indiana's 2025 campaign began with high hopes, led by several offseason acquisitions, most notably, WNBA veteran DeWanna Bonner.
However, Bonner has been conspicuously absent since June 10, missing five straight games, citing "personal reasons" for her hiatus.
Amid swirling rumors, reports on Tuesday confirmed Bonner "has no interest" in returning to Indiana, according to multiple league sources via Front Office Sports' Annie Costabile.
As news of her impending exit broke, Bonner offered a brief message on her Instagram: "My greatest loves!! I love you! 🖤🫶🏾," alongside photos of her twin daughters.
Sources indicate that Bonner's preferred destinations are the Phoenix Mercury, her former team and home for nine seasons, and the Atlanta Dream.

At 37 years old, Bonner's resume speaks for itself.
She is a two-time WNBA champion, six-time All-Star, two-time All-WNBA First Team honoree, three-time Sixth Woman of the Year and widely regarded as one of the legends in women's basketball.
In her Fever debut on May 17, Bonner etched her name into the history books by passing Tina Thompson for third on the WNBA's all-time scoring list (7,546).
After 16 seasons spent now with three different franchises, her likely departure from the Fever marks an abrupt end to an era in Indianapolis.

Kelsey Plum's run-in with autograph seeker raises questions about proper etiquette
More than ever before, autographs on sports memorabilia are currency, not just nostalgia. Just about every signing it may seem is the first step to the secondary market, not someone's scrapbook. A recent incident involving the Los Angeles Sparks' Kelsey Plum is raising the question of what the etiquette should be when making a request. Should athletes just expect to face these asks whenever they step out in public, given that the people with pens are the new paparazzi? What's not disputed according to video of the incident is that Plum was outside the team hotel in Minnesota when approached by men with open books of trading cards for her to sign. The three-time WNBA All-Star is a player whose autographed cards are valued by collectors in the resale market. Plum felt it was 'weird' for men to be waiting outside of her hotel with books of things to sign and called them out for it. Advertisement 'Don't you find it kind of weird, like low-key?' she asked the autograph seeker about him being at the Sparks' hotel before they were. 'I'm a little turned off right now,' she added before saying she appreciated the fan and signing one card. For further context, teammate Dearica Hamby tweeted: 'We literally left for practice and changed hotels… so to be there the moment we got there after SWITCHING hotels without being like HEY WE'RE SWITCHING HOTELS was weird.' When the video of the encounter went viral, people took sides, with many coming out against Plum and in favor of the autograph seekers. The man in the encounter, Nick Pedersen, 'minneygraphs99' on TikTok, captioned the video by saying, 'Kelsey Plum is not a fan of the WNBA fans who like to collect her autographs.' Advertisement Pederson then attempted to defend himself in a Facebook group for WNBA fans. 'I asked Kelsey and she went ballistic and started calling me weird and I was 'turning her off.' Kelsey has always had something against male fans who want her autograph,' Pederson wrote. 'Autographs are a hobby just like fishing or sewing. It brings me and a lot of others happiness.' Through his eBay store, Minygraphs LLC, Pederson has sold over 3,000 items, including trading cards bearing similar after-market autographs. When asked on Facebook about Plum being uncomfortable with him knowing the new hotel where she was staying, Pederson said that there was no stalking involved since 'she's older than me.' He added that the account of her reaction to him knowing about the new hotel was, '100% true, but they went to a hotel one block down the street and they all had their suitcases in the morning before practice. They loaded them in the bus and I heard the bus driver say something about the hotel they were switching to. Nothing creepy involved.' Advertisement At Fanatics Fest over the weekend, autograph dealers and collectors were apprised of the incident and asked what the policy should be when seeking autographs from athletes in public places. 'If it's a whole bunch of items that you're trying to get signed and you see an athlete in public, it's probably not going to go favorable to you as a fan,' said Ray Bartreau of Black Tie Breaks in Safety Harbor, FL. 'These people are very busy. They're getting hounded for autographs all the time. I think the best etiquette is to ask nicely with one or maybe two items at the most. 'I do signings in volume where it's a sanctioned, paid event, and to get the athletes to those is harder (given) their time. They're being paid. So to catch them on the street and say, 'Hey, spend 15 minutes signing all of my cards….' I think that's a little reach. I side with the athlete on this one.' Zach Haire, owner of Sports Treasures in Knoxville, TN said, 'I've always felt if it's at a public place, but, you know, not a restaurant, I would never approach you at a restaurant, in their own personal space…. But if they're at the hotel and there's the barricades up and you're behind the barricade, being respectful, I don't see a problem asking an athlete.' Advertisement Fans waiting on line at Fanatics Fest for their purchased autographs in personalized signings to be authenticated sided with the player. 'I think first and foremost, you should have a lot of respect for that person,' Kevin Urbanczyk of Buffalo, NY said. 'And if that person doesn't want to give the autograph or needs that personal space, everyone's entitled to that personal space. If that (autograph seeker) went above and beyond, then, you know, whoever got the signatures had a good day.' 'Respect her space,' said Randy Singh of Paterson, NJ. 'It's not an official event for autograph signings. If she stopped to say hi or take pictures or something and you're like, 'Hey, would you mind signing one autograph or taking one selfie picture?' Then that's appropriate. And if she says no, just say, 'Hey, thank you for your time.' It's not an official signing event or appearance by that athlete. And you can't ask for multiple signings. One is the limit.' This article originally appeared in The Athletic. Advertisement Los Angeles Sparks, WNBA, Sports Business, Culture, Memorabilia & Collectibles 2025 The Athletic Media Company

Caitlin Clark's shooting woes continue as Fever rely on Aliyah Boston's career night for win over Storm
Caitlin Clark's struggles on the court continued on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever needed to lean on a career night from Aliyah Boston to get past the Seattle Storm, 94-86. Clark scored six points in one of her worst shooting nights since she scored eight points against the Washington Mystics in a game last September. Her career-low was three points against the New York Liberty in a blowout loss last June. She was 3-of-13 from the floor against the Storm with nine assists, three steals and two boards. She attempted six 3-pointers but came up empty on each shot. Since Thursday's loss to the Golden State Valkyries, Clark is 1-of-23 from beyond the arc. "She'll be fine," teammate Lexie Hull told reporters after the game, via the Indy Star. "We're not worried about it. She's a great shooter, she's a great player. This happens to every player, every great player. She'll be fine." Boston, the third-year Fever star, had 31 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals while veteran Kelsey Mitchell had 26 points. Hull had 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Fever needed every basket to halt the Storm's winning streak. Seattle came into the game with a three-game winning streak and winners of six of their last seven. Skylar Diggins had 22 points and six assists for the Storm. Erica Wheeler added 20 points. Indiana got back to .500 with the win at 7-7. Seattle fell to 9-6.

Soaring team valuations mean WNBA can't cry poor in contract talks with players
It's practically a given for leagues and owners to cry poverty at some point during contract talks. David Stern famously did it in 2011, saying the NBA was losing money. Adam Silver raised similar concerns four years later. Major League Baseball's current contract doesn't expire until the end of next season, yet Rob Manfred is already putting the idea out there. The implication of this kind of hand-wringing, of course, is that the leagues can't possibly have the money needed to give the players what they're asking. But it's usually more negotiating tactic than reality, a way of moving the bar lower. The WNBA won't have that luxury this time around. Sportico released its latest valuation of the 13 WNBA teams on Tuesday, and the numbers are jaw-dropping. The Golden State Valkyries lead the league with a $500 million valuation, which is a whopping 10 times what owners Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber paid to get the expansion team just two years ago. The average valuation is $269 million, and six teams are worth $250 million or more. Now, those numbers pale in comparison to the $10 billion the Los Angeles Lakers sold for last week. But aside from the fact the W is still playing catchup, beginning 50 years after the NBA, that average valuation of $269 million is a 180% increase from last year. And that, according to Sportico, is more than double the previous record gain by a sports league. To put it simply, the W is a growth stock. A rocket-fueled one. And the players know it. "This is a defining moment for the WNBA. As the league grows, it's time for a CBA that reflects our true value,' Chicago Sky veteran Elizabeth Williams said over the weekend, echoing a message shared by several other player reps. 'We're fighting for a fair share of the business that we built. It's business. We're not fighting for anything unreasonable. We're fighting to share in the growth that we've created,' Williams added. "Every other category across this business has grown: Media rights, ticket sales, team values. The only thing that's still capped is player salaries. We deserve our fair share. We're demanding salaries that reflect our true value. Again, it's business.' Negotiations between the WNBA and the Players Association are private, so it's unclear what prompted the collective warning from players over the weekend. Maybe they got wind of Sportico's valuations. Maybe it's a result of the op-ed in the New York Times earlier this month by Noble Prize-winning economist Claudia Goldin, who said W players are making 1/80th of what NBA players make rather than the one quarter or one third that would be required for equitable pay. And before the peanut gallery chimes in, W players are not asking for LeBron money. They're not even asking for Cooper Flagg money, assuming he's the No. 1 pick that he's expected to be Wednesday night. What they are asking for is a fair share, and the W and its owners are going to have to open their wallets to get them there. Currently, W players get about 10% of the league's revenues. That's less — way less — than the roughly 50% of revenues that players in the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL get. Yes, the W has stepped up, finally providing charter flights last year for the entire season and boosting the payout for the Commissioner's Cup. Some individual teams now have their own practice facilities, an 'amenity' that's been a given in men's sports for years. But there's more to be done. Much more. This isn't a charity project, either. The Sportico valuations confirm what has been evident for the last five years: There is money to be made in women's sports. A lot of it. But sports are driven by stars, not owners. Fans are shelling out for tickets, merch and the league pass because of Caitlin Clark, A'ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart and Paige Bueckers, not because of any owner. Which means the players need to be equal partners. 'The current system is unsustainable for us and that means it's unsustainable for the business that we created. Nothing short of transformational change will do for the future we see and the fans clearly see,' Williams said. 'So we're paying attention.' The W players know their value. More importantly, they know the value of the league and its teams, too. Follow USA TODAY Sports columnist Nancy Armour on social media @nrarmour.
