The Indiana Fever are moving on from two-time WNBA champion DeWanna Bonner. 

The team made the announcement Wednesday after weeks of speculation that there were tensions between the two sides. Bonner had been benched after starting the first three games in Indiana and had missed the last five due to personal reasons.

"I want to sincerely thank the Indiana Fever for the opportunity to be part of the Fever franchise," Bonner said in a statement released by the team.

"Despite our shared goals and excitement heading into the season, I felt the fit did not work out and I appreciate the organization’s willingness to grant my request to move on, particularly at this point in my career.

"I wish the Fever great success as they continue to build around this dynamic group of young players."

Bonner’s statement sheds light on the rumored fractured relationship between the organization and the six-time All-Star, which seemingly began after she was benched in the starting lineup in favor of Lexie Hull after just three games.

Bonner, 37, averaged 7.1 points and 3.8 rebounds a game during her brief stint, which began with her moving into third place on the league's all-time scoring list in the season opener. But reports indicated that the expectations from both sides were not in alignment. 

Sources told Front Office Sports that the fit was "off," and that Bonner had expected to be a starter in Indiana. League sources also told the outlet that it had reached a point where Bonner had "no interest" in returning, and instead was eyeing the Phoenix Mercury or the Atlanta Dream as potential landing spots.  

Bonner will have 48 hours to get picked up off waivers where the remainder of her $200,000 contract will be assumed by that team. If not, she’ll become an unrestricted free agent and can sign for the prorated veteran minimum.

The Fever signed guard Aari McDonald in place of Bonner. She averaged 11 points, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in three appearances with the Fever this season after she was picked up via the WNBA’s emergency hardship exception.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, shared with her Instagram followers on Tuesday that she felt "a little trauma" while on her way to vote in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. Emhoff revealed that she was voting in the same polling station where she had cast her ballot for her stepmother, who ultimately suffered a crushing defeat in Nov. 2024.

"You know, I’m feeling a little trauma walking to the same polling station that I did to vote for Kamala. And you know, I’m just feeling a lot of hope," Emhoff said in a video posted to her Instagram story that has since expired.

In the second part of the video, Emhoff sported an "I Voted" sticker and said she was "feeling a huge mix of emotions," adding that it was "spectacular seeing New York come together in this way and rally behind Zohran."

Emhoff was among several celebrity guests — including "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon and actor Kal Penn — at Zohran Mamdani’s watch party.

While the results of the primary are unofficial, Mamdani claimed victory, and the other frontrunner in the race, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, conceded.

Emhoff endorsed Mamdani in May in a video apparently filmed at Brooklyn Steel, a music venue in New York City, where Mamdani was holding an event.

"I’m passing the phone to the next mayor of New York City, who’s going to make New York happier, healthier and more affordable," Emhoff says in the video, which was a play on the "passing the phone" social media trend.

In the past month, Emhoff promoted Mamdani on her social media. In one post, she made a list of "big reminders," including urging New Yorkers not to rank Cuomo and to vote for Mamdani instead.

Mamdani has faced heavy criticism from Republicans who see him as being a radical and from those who have accused him of being an antisemite. His proposals, such as implementing free public transit, creating a network of city-owned grocery stores and instituting free universal childcare for children from ages 6 weeks to 5 years.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., criticized Mamdani, saying that "a radical, Defund-the-Police, Communist, raging antisemite will most likely win the New York City Democrat mayoral primary."

The New York City Board of Elections is set to release the official primary results on July 1, according to Fox 5.
