What happened: DeWanna Bonner must clear waivers before she can sign as an unrestricted free agent. The agreement ends her latest Phoenix stint during the 2026 season.
Why it matters: Phoenix is 13-24 and sixth in the Western Conference. The move creates a roster opening as the Mercury finish the regular season.
By the numbers: Bonner averaged 12.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 28.6 minutes over her final five Phoenix appearances.
What to watch: The waiver result will determine whether another club claims Bonner or she reaches unrestricted free agency. Phoenix next plays Tuesday.
