Sophie Cunningham Decision Made for Fever-Sky Game Amid Concerns originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

Bonner, whose contract was waived by the Fever earlier in the season, was seen taunting ex-teammate Lexie Hull early in the game. The Phoenix veteran had some choice words for Hull after Bonner hit a three-pointer over the Fever guard.

It was clear from opening tip-off that the Mercury were playing energized, cohesive basketball on Thursday, and appeared keen to avenge their road loss to Indiana back on July 30. It was also a clearly emotional contest for DeWanna Bonner, who had a tumultuous and brief tenure with the Fever before ultimately getting released by them in June.
