Mercury Coach Sends Clear Message on DeWanna Bonner originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner and head coach Nate Tibbetts did not know how Indiana Fever fans would react on Wednesday night when Bonner returned to Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the first time since her unexpected exit in June.

Mercury guard Kahleah Copper had no time for the Fever's disrespect towards DeWanna Bonner in her return to Indiana.

Bonner has since returned to the Mercury, where she spent the first 10 years of her career. In her first game back at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday, the lass-than-warm reception she received bothered Mercury teammate Kahleah Copper.
