Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston has showcased her remarkable talent and passion on the court. The 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year had a slow start to the 2024 season, leading fans to wonder if the pressure of playing alongside Caitlin Clark was affecting her performance. However, just a few weeks into the season, Boston has started to find her rhythm again.
Regaining Form with a Stellar Performance
Boston recently recorded a career-high 27 points along with 13 rebounds in a game against the Atlanta Dream, indicating she is regaining her form. This powerful performance was crucial for boosting both her confidence and her team’s morale.
The Practice Session that Changed Everything
During a recent practice session, the Fever team engaged in a half-court shooting competition. Despite the friendly nature of this exercise, it was clear how much it meant to Boston. As she lined up for her shot, tensions were high. Then came the moment that no one could ignore—Boston drained her half-court shot, instantly becoming overcome with emotion.

A Moment of Tension with a Teammate
One conspicuous aspect of this practice session was how Caitlin Clark, who Boston was competing against, notably did not congratulate her on making the shot. This small gesture—or lack thereof—was picked up by many as a sign of ongoing tension between the two star players.
Sports fans know that beginning of the season power rankings mean very little… At the end of the day, power rankings don’t mean a da** thing.
Looking Forward to Future Performances
The upcoming face-off against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky will be another test for Boston’s renewed drive and skill. Reese, who has been preparing fervently in her rookie season with Chicago Sky, is also a key player to watch out for in this matchup.
The dynamics within Indiana Fever are evolving as they navigate the challenges of high-stakes games and internal competition. The combination of talent from seasoned players like Boston and emerging stars like Clark will undoubtedly keep fans on their toes as the season progresses.
