DeWanna Bonner, a 38-year-old forward for the Phoenix Mercury, has rejoined the team after a controversial stint with the Indiana Fever.

She recently reunited with her teammate and fiancee, Alyssa Thomas, and is looking forward to her 17th season with the Mercury. Despite past controversies, Bonner remains committed to her playing and has been successful in her career, earning two championships with the PhoenixMercury and a run with the Connecticut Sun.
