Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston will be absent from the Unrivaled league playoffs after sustaining an injury to her right lower leg, league officials confirmed Sunday.
The 24-year-old forward had an outstanding season in the 3-on-3 basketball league, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors just one day before the injury announcement. Boston posted impressive numbers throughout the season, scoring 18.9 points per game while pulling down 9.7 rebounds and recording 2.1 blocks across 14 contests. Her stellar performance also earned her a spot on the league’s second-team all-star roster.
Boston’s team, Phantom BC, enters the playoffs as the number one seed with an 11-3 record. They’re scheduled to take on sixth-seeded Vinyl, who finished 5-9, in Monday’s semifinal matchup in Brooklyn, New York. The victorious team will advance to Wednesday evening’s championship contest.
The South Carolina product was selected first overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft and has established herself as one of the league’s premier players. During the 2025 WNBA season, the three-time All-Star contributed 15.0 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while starting all 44 contests for Indiana.
