2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bonner played for just two teams over her first 15 seasons in the WNBA, but she'll join Indiana for her age-37 campaign. She found success while playing alongside Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones in Connecticut in recent years and will join another strong frontcourt tandem in Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard with the Fever. Bonner has had consistent production in recent years and hasn't missed a game the past two seasons. Over those two seasons, she averaged 16.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 31.0 minutes per game. Even though she'll have a change of scenery during her 16th WNBA season and will play alongside Boston and Howard while also sharing some of her workload with Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, fantasy managers shouldn't feel many reservations about selecting Bonner in the earlier rounds of drafts.

Scores seven in return to Phoenix
FPhoenix Mercury
July 9, 2025
Bonner amassed seven points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 79-71 victory over the Lynx.
ANALYSIS
Bonner rejoined the Mercury on Tuesday after being let go by the Fever last week, and she looked a little more like herself playing in her old stomping grounds. She played 26 minutes despite coming off the bench, which was her most in 2025 since the regular-season opener. It wouldn't be surprising to see her maintain consistent playing time now that she's back with the Mercury, but Satou Sabally (ankle) and Kahleah Copper (hamstring) were sidelined due to injury Wednesday, so Bonner's role could fluctuate a bit once they return to action.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Bonner averaged 13.5 points per game in 2022, but that mark improved to 17.4 points per game in 2023. Although the 36-year-old saw an increased role in the frontcourt with Brionna Jones sidelined for most of the year, Bonner's stats in secondary categories remained lower than they were earlier in her career, as she averaged 5.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.1 minutes per game. However, she appeared in every game despite consistently going up against centers on defense in Jones' absence. Bonner also attempted a career-high 5.7 three-pointers per game while maintaining the same 32.9 percent conversion rate that she had in 2022. The 36-year-old re-signed with Connecticut this offseason and will continue playing alongside fiancee Alyssa Thomas.
Bonner was an All-Star in 2021 but took a slight step back last season, as her scoring, rebounding, assists and defensive numbers all regressed. She did shoot 43.9 percent from the field - her best figure since 2018 - but overall Bonner may be nearing the end of her peak years. With that said, she remains a solid fantasy asset, due in part to the fact that she's rarely missed time throughout her 13-year WNBA career.
Bonner took a backseat to the reigning MVP Jonquel Jones during the 2021 campaign and averaged career-lows in points (15.2) and rebounds (6.4) per game. Nonetheless, the 6-foot-4 forward was still one of the more productive post players in the league, and Connecticut's high-powered offense is certainly capable of harboring multiple fantasy-relevant players every game. A healthy Alyssa Thomas and the addition of Courtney Williams may cut into the 34-year-old's overall production once again, though most of the minutes will come from the departure of Briann January. Bonner is still expected to be a top option behind Jones.
