What happened: DeWanna Bonner’s agent said no issues with Phoenix drove her request for a contract buyout. The agent described the organization as player-friendly and willing to accommodate an unusual situation.
Why it matters: The agreement gives Bonner an opportunity to pursue another postseason run late in her career. She must clear waivers before she can sign as an unrestricted free agent.
By the numbers: Bonner averaged 10.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 37 games this season.
What to watch: The waiver process will determine whether another team claims Bonner or she reaches unrestricted free agency.
