DeWanna Bonner agrees to buyout with Phoenix Mercury, considers contenders

DeWanna Bonner has reached a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Mercury, following the team's elimination from the 2026 WNBA playoffs. The 39-year-old forward averaged 10.6 points and 6.1 rebounds this season. With her career potentially nearing its end, Bonner looks to join a contender during her free agency. The Las Vegas Aces may seek her to replace injured forward NaLyssa Smith. The Golden State Valkyries also appear to be a suitable fit, while the New York Liberty could benefit from her depth in the frontcourt amid health concerns for Satou Sabally.
