The Atlanta Dream have pulled off a significant mid-season coup, bringing in two-time WNBA champion DeWanna Bonner for the remainder of the 2026 campaign.
The 17-year veteran wing accepted a buyout from the Phoenix Mercury and cleared waivers on Wednesday before agreeing terms with Atlanta as a free agent. The move has not yet been officially announced.
Bonner's arrival slots a proven scorer and rebounder alongside an already formidable All-Star core of Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese - a quartet that instantly makes the Dream look like genuine championship contenders.
Atlanta currently sit fourth in the standings, and Bonner's deep playoff pedigree gives head coach Karl Smesko exactly the kind of battle-tested presence needed for a serious post-season push.
The Dream were already making waves before this addition. Angel Reese recently smashed the WNBA single-game rebounding record with a staggering 26 boards against Los Angeles, underlining the squad's growing ambition.
With Bonner now in the fold, Atlanta's pursuit of a first-ever WNBA title looks more credible than at any point in the franchise's history.
