Sophie Cunningham Calls Out DeWanna Bonner’s Abrupt Exit from Indiana Fever

Sophie Cunningham isn’t one to hold back, especially when it comes to honesty about WNBA drama. Recently, she openly addressed DeWanna Bonner’s sudden departure from the Indiana Fever, a move that shocked fans and teammates alike.

Speaking on the Show Me Something podcast, Cunningham revealed, “Not even a text. Nothing.” Bonner left after just nine games with no goodbye or explanation, vanishing from the team’s group chat entirely. This silent exit left many questioning her commitment, especially since Bonner had joined the Fever alongside stars Caitlin Clark and Stephanie White, raising championship hopes.

After leaving, Bonner rejoined the Phoenix Mercury, where her fiancé plays, igniting boos from Fever fans during her return. While some players like Kahleah Copper defended Bonner, Cunningham acknowledged, “Booing is normal,” reflecting the raw emotions tied to such departures.

Bonner has yet to fully explain her exit, posting “IN DUE TIME” on Instagram. But Cunningham’s straightforward take cuts through the noise: “She ghosted everyone.” Sometimes, the unspoken truth hits harder than any crowd’s jeers.
