It was perhaps only right that on an evening in which DeWanna Bonner became the WNBA’s all-time leader in postseason appearances, her presence, poetically, was found all throughout Target Center during Game One against the Minnesota Lynx. Accurately categorized as a defensive Swiss army knife for the Connecticut Sun throughout the 2024 WNBA Playoffs, Bonner hustles into a high-profile example, leaving her top-of-the-key assignment to slide down, extending her 6-foot-4 frame for a help-side block on Napheesa Collier. Understanding the magnitude with Connecticut ahead by one in the final five minutes, Bonner maintains ambition, racing the floor’s length to create a textbook two-on-one, ultimately providing her teammate with an outlet for an impactful late-game bucket. Bonner’s veteran poise helped Connecticut, slight underdogs on the road, conquer the Lynx on its home floor for the seventh-consecutive time on September 29, 2024. Long built for the pressure in postseason game No. 83 of her illustrious career, Bonner contributed 10 points, 11 rebounds (moving her to No. 3 on the all-time playoff list), five assists, one clutch block, and two 3-pointers. · Sep 30, 2024
