DeWanna Bonner named WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week
Connecticut Sun guard-forward DeWanna Bonner was named the WNBA Eastern Conference Player of the Week, the league announced today.

During the second week of WNBA regular season action from May 20- May 26, Bonner averaged 20.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, leading the Sun to a 3-0 record on the week. She tied her season-high tallying 22 points, along with three rebounds, two assists and one steal in Connecticut’s first road win of the season, defeating Indiana, 88-84, on May 20. Bonner finished with 20 points, three rebounds, two assists and three steals in the Sun’s overtime victory over the Lynx on May 23, 83-82. She closed out the week with 19 points, a season-high eight rebounds and three assists in Connecticut’s 86-82 road victory over Chicago, 86-82, on Saturday.
