'No timeline' for DeWanna Bonner return. Can Indiana Fever sign a hardship player?

LAS VEGAS – As Indiana Fever forward DeWanna Bonner continues to be away from the team, coach Stephanie White says there's "no timeline" for her return. "She's doing well, she's doing well," White said Saturday. "Again, no timeline. I think it's day-to-day, and for us to make sure that we're continuing to be supportive of DB in her time away." Bonner, who signed with the Fever this offseason, has not been with the team since June 12 because of personal reasons. She has missed three games so far, including the June 14 win over New York, June 17 win over Connecticut and June 19 loss to Golden State. She is not with the Fever on their current West Coast road trip and is expected to miss her fourth game in a row when the Fever play the Aces in Las Vegas on Sunday. Bonner's absence puts the Fever down to 10 available players. Depending on how long Bonner is out, Indiana may drop down to nine available players when backup center Damiris Dantas leaves to play in the FIBA AmeriCup with the Brazilian National Team. Dantas will depart after the road trip finishes up in Seattle and will miss five games, including the Commissioner's Cup final, between June 26-July 8 as she plays in the tournament in Chile. The Fever may be able to sign an emergency hardship player if Bonner also remains out that long. The WNBA collective bargaining agreement allows the signing of an emergency hardship player "If a Team during the Regular Season, as a result of injuries, illnesses, other conditions or other extenuating circumstances that have affected its players, has fewer than ten (10) players on its roster who are able to play." (Article VII, section 4(b(i))) The Fever have already taken advantage of an emergency hardship exception this season, signing guard Aari McDonald when Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were out for two weeks with injuries. McDonald is still available if the Fever need another hardship player, but Indiana would likely need a frontcourt player if both Bonner, who backs up the 4, and Dantas, who backs up the 5, are out at the same time.

Calls Mount for Chicago Sky Coach's Firing After Angel Reese Decision in Ninth Loss

Calls Mount for Chicago Sky Coach's Firing After Angel Reese Decision in Ninth Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky entered Saturday's game against the Phoenix Mercury hoping to rebound after Tuesday's 79-72 loss to the Mystics, where Angel Reese tallied 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and a steal—continuing a recent surge after a slow start to the 2025 WNBA Season. Despite her recent strong play, the Sky have continued to struggle, and did so again on Saturday. Advertisement Blown out by Phoenix, Chicago suffered its ninth loss of the season. Perhaps more concerning was the usage of Reese, who recorded just one field goal attempt the entire game, which was a season low for the 2024 WNBA All-Star. Reese began the second half with a spark, knocking down a rare three-pointer in the third quarter—just her third of the season. However, as previously mentioned, this was her lone field goal attempt of the game. Sky fans were quick to call for the dismissal of head coach Tyler Marsh for his usage of Reese in this game. "As a Chicagoan I attend for Angel, so her being iced out does not make me want to go to anymore games… they forget she's the star," a fan wrote. Advertisement "FIRE TYLER MARSH AND JEFF!!!" one exclaimed. "So instead of running the offense thru Angel. Marsh just decided not to do that when it worked so well past like 3 games," said another. "Then we can't even get the starters in a rhythm cuz he waived the white flag WHILE MERCURY STILL HAS THEIRS IN." "Fire Tyler Marsh & Jeff expeditiously," said another. Chicago Sky coach Tyler Lee-Imagn Images Fans were particularly upset with Marsh's decision to go away from Reese as a play initiator amid wha has been a strong stretch for her. "So let me get this straight… Angel and Cardoso the only two players doing anything for the Sky so Marsh benched them halfway through the third. I hate this coach!" said one. Advertisement "There is a reason I've been saying FIRE TYLER MARSH," one added. "since Angel has been on a run these last 4games and he decides to not involve her in the offense." "Fire Marsh and Jeff, get rid of Kia Nurse, and Banham, put Bec Allen back on the bench, limit Michaela minutes, get a PG, let Angel run point more, get Angel and Kamilla the ball, play the best players more than 25 minutes its a short game," one implored. Reese entered Saturday's game averaging 11.0 PPG and 11.7 RPG. However, time is starting to run out for the Sky, who own the third worst record in the league.

Valkyries' Kayla Thornton followed her own path, to the surprise and delight of her parents

As an expansion team, the Golden State Valkyries weren't expected to have a star. But Kayla Thornton may be emerging as one. The reigning Western Conference Player of the Week, Thornton led Golden State on Thursday to an 88-77 victory over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever with 16 points and six rebounds in just 20 minutes of play. Thornton, the team's leading scorer (14.8), credits her success in part to the system head coach Natalie Nakase has built. The former New York Liberty champion, who has nearly 10 years of WNBA experience, feels 'the freest I've ever been.' 'Coach (Nakase), she has a system for us that gives us the ultimate confidence to do what we have to do to showcase our game,' Thornton said. 'She allows us to be free. I think this is the most freest I've ever been since I've been in the league. And I just thank her for the opportunity because you don't get that a lot.' Thornton's parents, Lewis and Merteen Thornton, who were proudly wearing Valkyries jerseys with Thornton's No. 5 at Thursday's game, echoed that sentiment. The recently retired couple travels from their home in El Paso, Texas, to watch their daughter's home games at Chase Center. 'I think with the Valkyries, she's playing like she played at UTEP. No worries, no overthinking. If she sees the ball, she's shooting or assisting because she's happy,' said Merteen. 'When you can feel free, you can really accomplish a lot. And I think that's where my daughter is right now. She feels free. She feels good. The team is wonderful.' Thornton said that part of that freeness is pushing her boundaries — getting out of her comfort zone and adapting to greater offensive opportunities than she had with the Liberty. With New York, Thornton was a defensive dynamo off the bench. With the Valkyries, she recorded the team's first basket and first double-double. In addition to her career-best scoring, she leads the team in rebounds (7.1) and steals (1.8). 'I was happy everywhere. I love New York, but here is just a little different,' Thornton said. 'The people that I have around me, just understanding my role (is) a little different. So I'm embracing that and I'm happy because I love challenges. I love new opportunities, so for me to be able to do that is great.' Lewis Thornton said his daughter was never one to shy away from a challenge. As Thornton grew — she's 6-foot-1 — she and her dad knew she had an innate athletic prowess. But he didn't expect her talent to take her to the basketball court. 'There was always something unique about her,' Lewis said. 'She started off in track and field, and she was doing great there, but then (one day) she had an itch. 'I want to play basketball,' and I said, 'No darling, no, no no, you are a track star.'' On the track, Thornton was well-rounded, running the 400-meter hurdles, 400-meter dash and 'all the relays' while also competing in the long jump and triple jump. But after she started watching the WNBA, she began to imagine what it would be like to play in the league — to pursue basketball at the highest level. After some convincing, Thornton began playing basketball in addition to track and field. 'But God knows what to do, right? And she did both. So that proved her point. And (her success) made me like, 'Look, sit down, have a seat,'' Lewis laughed. 'That's my daughter, and she knew what she was doing.' The adoration the Thortons have for their daughter is palpable, but it's clear that the feeling is mutual. 'My parents mean everything. They're both retired now, so it's just a blessing that God has blessed me to be in the position that I am, that wherever I go, I could bring them with me.' Thornton said. 'They've been working hard to get me to where I'm at now, and now I'm working to allow them to enjoy the fruits of the labors that they have provided for me.'
