Just days before the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup Final, DeWanna Bonner is suddenly waived by the Indiana Fever—sending shockwaves across the WNBA. In this episode, Jordan and Autumn unpack the full timeline of events: from DB’s unexplained absence to the behind-the-scenes trade rumors and her targeted move to Phoenix. They also tackle the fan backlash, the misinformed “quitter” accusations, and why this moment matters for veterans asserting their agency in a league that’s constantly evolving.

Then, the hosts break down how Bonner’s departure affects the Indiana Fever, just as they gear up to face the Minnesota Lynx in the Cup Final. With injuries to Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier, Jordan and Autumn run through every scenario: who wins at full strength, who steps up if stars are sidelined, and what to expect from two of the fastest, most dynamic teams in the league.
