The saga regarding WNBA legend DeWanna Bonner’s dramatic exit from the Indiana Fever during the 2025 season has become a top topic of conversation within the women’s basketball community of late, given what Fever standout Lexie Hull said about it during an October 27 interview<\/a> with Glamour Magazine. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was super, super, super excited because finally there\u2019s a [player in my position] that I can look up to that has won in the league and has all these accomplishments and knows what it takes, and I can learn something from her. And then she randomly leaves, and we\u2019re all just kind of like, \u2018What happened?\u2019 We were never given an explanation<\/a>,\u201d Hull said of Bonner.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have no explanation was really challenging, but I think that helped us grow closer together because we\u2019re like, \u2018All right, this is us. We\u2019re here. We\u2019re going to support each other. We\u2019re loving each other. We\u2019re going to fight for each other. We\u2019re not going to leave. We\u2019re in this together,'” she added.<\/p>\n

DeWanna Bonner’s WNBA Season Reflection Receives Indiana Fever Player Support<\/p>\n

Bonner hasn’t spoken much about her Fever exit, but she surely saw Hull’s comments (proven by what Bonner’s fiance\u00e9, Alyssa Thomas, said on social media after they went viral). <\/p>\n

Facts! \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

Bonner did, however, take to Instagram on October 28 to pen an emotional reflection about the season she just finished.<\/p>\n

“So much can change in a year. \u2728 When I look back, I\u2019m amazed by the journey the highs, the lessons, the pivots, and the quiet wins that didn\u2019t always make the timeline,” the post’s caption wrote. <\/p>\n

“More than anything, I\u2019m grateful. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n

“This year tested me, stretched me, and reminded me what it means to stand tall as a woman, an athlete, and a force in my own right. I kept my faith first, loved hard, stayed grounded in my craft, and kept showing up even when it wasn\u2019t easy,” it continued. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019m proud of the woman I\u2019m becoming. I\u2019m thankful for the people who see me, support me, and love me for me. And I\u2019m walking into what\u2019s next with faith, peace, and purpose. \ud83d\udcab”<\/p>\n

Several Fever players have responded to this post to show Bonner love, including veteran Natasha Howard, who wrote, “DB I\u2019ve always looked up to you and admire you as a person and player! I\u2019m so proud of you! You\u2019ve set records I pray I get to see in my career. Thank you for always pouring in me on and off the court. Keep being the bright light you are \u2665\ufe0f tash”. <\/p>\n

Bree Hall (who wasn’t with the team when Bonner requested her exit) added, “proud of you db \u2764\ufe0f! miss you! \ud83e\udd79”.<\/p>\n

Odyssey Sims (who also wasn’t on Indiana when the Bonner drama was underway) commented and wrote, “You been HER and will always be HER! Best vet\/teammate ever! Always proud of you, us mothers never stop\ud83e\udd70\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd love you!\u2764\ufe0f”. <\/p>\n

And 2025 Fever rookie Makayla Timpson added, “my dawg, love you\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd”. <\/p>\n
