Indiana Fever’s star, Sophie Cunningham, went to the departure of the former team companion Bonner of the team on a controversial break this season.
Bonner moved away from the team only nine games in the season, citing “personal reasons” while the team tried to change it. Indiana then launched Bonner on June 29, and returned to Phoenix Mercury, where he began his career in 2009.

Cunningham, who previously played with Bonner for Mercury in 2009, praised Bonner as a player, but also suggested that Bonner showed a lack of “professionalism” in his departure.
“I am still supporting her. I want her career to finish and be happy, but I also think that it is good to be professional about it. Send a text message to your teammates, send a text message such as, ‘hey, love them’, or do not even have to say, ‘love them. Tuesday.
Bonner returned to Indianapolis and was booed by fans. Cunningham said Bonner should have waited boots from fever fans depending on how his departure developed.

The boos did not sit well with the Mercury Kahleah Copper star. The four-time All-Star and WNBA champion thought Bonner managed the Boos well, but she did not understand why the Jers occurred first.

“I just don’t understand. As, she is a legend. All the things she has done for the League, and just at that time, the lack of respect simply cannot bear it. They booed her. He did not tell a word to the crowd. People spoke to her a little garbage, but we support it,” said Copper, through the INDY STAR.
“It is very unpleasant what is doing her fan base when it comes to DB. She is the sweetest soul. The situation did not work for her. It simply was not what she wanted or whatever, but we don’t need all that. It is unnecessary.”
