DeWanna Bonner, a 17-year WNBA veteran, will sign with the Atlanta Dream for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs, according to sources familiar with the deal.
Sources were granted anonymity because they were not permitted to speak publicly about the deal. Bonner agreed to a buyout with the Phoenix Mercury Monday in order to pursue one last postseason run in her career. The Mercury were eliminated from playoff contention Saturday following a loss to the Dream. Bonner cleared waivers and is free to sign with the Dream as an unrestricted free agent.
Bonner, 39, has averaged 13.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in her playoff career. She has only missed the playoffs once in her career and will make a 16th postseason appearance in 2026.
