The 37-year-old forward focuses on her future with Phoenix, putting aside the past or what could have gone wrong in Indiana, which ended with her departure from the team. She found the rumor that she was unhappy about coming off the bench funny, after having been a starter in the first games with the Fever. In the first game, she rose to third place on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list.I wouldn’t change anything. My path is my path and I accept it. It has brought me to where I am now, in Phoenix, and it happened that way for a reason.

Phoenix began a five-game road trip in New York on Friday night, where they lost 89-76. Bonner scored nine points.That was never the problem. I’ve never been like that. I have no problem coming off the bench. I’ve never been that player. I don’t feel like I have that reputation.

The Mercury will head to Indiana on Wednesday, and Bonner said she wasn’t sure what the fans’ reaction would be.DB is a great addition for us. She can play in positions 2, 3 and 4, and even in the 5, depending on the different lineups we will use in the future. She has won championships. In her second game with us, we went to Golden State, we had some injuries and she scored 22 points and 11 rebounds. We wouldn’t win that game without her, so she has been a great addition for us.

Not everything was bad in Indiana for Bonner, as he was only a four-hour drive from his twin daughters, who will soon turn 8 years old. Bonner hopes to lead the Mercury to another championship. She helped the franchise win two after being selected fifth overall by the team in 2009. Returning to Phoenix after so long, the love and welcome I received were very necessary and appreciated. Returning with people I know. The biggest change he’s seen since he left has been in the building where the team plays.I’m just going to go out and do my job. They have every right to do what they want. I’m just going to go out and compete with my team.

I entered the stadium on the day of the match and had no idea where I was, and it was crazy because I was there for 10 years every day. Everything is different, but the fans are still the same, a couple of people in the office too.
