WNBA Sends Strong DeWanna Bonner Message After 10 Games

DeWanna Bonner has delivered a transformative impact for the Atlanta Dream since joining the team midway through the 2026 season. After securing a buyout from the Phoenix Mercury to align with a championship contender, Bonner made her Dream debut on August 30 against the Minnesota Lynx, posting seven points, four rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 17 minutes off the bench.

In her first five regular-season games, she averaged 8.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.8 assists, but her playoff numbers have been even more impressive—13.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and a steal per game across five contests. The most striking development?

The Dream’s 10-0 record since Bonner’s arrival, a streak the WNBA itself highlighted as a direct result of her presence. Beyond her on-court contributions, Bonner has become a guiding force for younger teammates, reinforcing the team’s focus on humility and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

With the WNBA Finals looming, the Dream faces the Golden State Valkyries—a formidable defensive opponent—but Bonner’s championship pedigree and leadership could prove decisive in this high-stakes showdown.
