Sophie Cunningham talks new podcast before Indiana Fever game<\/p>\n

Sophie Cunningham talked about her new podcast, “Show Me Something,” before the Indiana Fever played the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s game between the Indiana Fever<\/a> and Phoenix Mercury meant the return of DeWanna Bonner to Gainbridge Fieldhouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bonner, a marquee offseason signing by the Fever, played just nine games for Indiana before being waived after it was assessed she wasn’t a good fit<\/a> with the team. Bonner quickly landed back in Phoenix, where she started her WNBA career and could be reunited with fiancee Alyssa Thomas.<\/p>\n

The Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd welcomed her back to Indianapolis with a chorus of boos<\/a> when she checked into the game and whenever she touched the ball.<\/p>\n

Takeaways: <\/strong>Aari McDonald, Aliyah Boston lead Fever to high-water mark of season with win vs. Mercury<\/a><\/p>\n

While Bonner’s return dominated the pregame intrigue, Aari McDonald was the story once the game tipped. The player the Fever added after waiving Bonner on June 25<\/a>, scored 17 points in the first half on 6-of-7 shooting including 3-of-3 from behind the arc. McDonald finished with 27 points and Aliyah Boston took over in the fourth quarter finishing with 22 points and 12 rebounds \u2014 her fourth straight double-double since the All-Star Break \u2014 as the Fever beat the Mercury, 107-101, for one of their more impressive wins of the season.<\/p>\n

The win moves Indiana to 15-12 and three games above .500 for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Fever star Caitlin Clark<\/a> missed her sixth straight game with a right groin injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n
