Aliyah Boston<\/a> is hoping that the Indiana Fever<\/a> can return to the playoffs for the 2026 WNBA<\/a> season. Superstar guard Caitlin Clark<\/a> missed most of the season due to a groin injury, allowing Boston to step up her play for the Fever. Boston led the team in rebounds per game (8.2), assists (3.9) and blocks (0.9).<\/p>\n

Boston finished second on the team in scoring (15.0 points per game), behind guard Kelsey Mitchell (20.2). Boston played in all 44 regular-season games and eight postseason games for the Fever. The 6-foot-5 forward played a key role in the Fever upsetting the No. 3-seeded Atlanta Dream in the 2025 WNBA playoffs, before falling to A\u2019ja Wilson and the No. 2-seeded Las Vegas Aces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Indiana to be successful in 2026, Boston\u2019s health will play a major role. Although the Worcester Academy graduate has avoided major injuries during her WNBA career, she suffered a lower right leg injury during the offseason. Boston missed Indiana\u2019s opening preseason game against the New York Liberty<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Indianapolis Star reporter Chloe Peterson took to social media to announce updates that Fever head coach Stephanie White provided to the media. On X, Peterson disclosed that White provided an update on Boston, along with Ty Harris and Lexie Hull. She said all three are expected to be out of the lineup to prioritize health entering the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteph White said she doesn\u2019t anticipate playing Aliyah Boston,\u201d Peterson wrote on X. \u201cTy Harris or Lexie Hull tomorrow in the preseason game against Dallas. \u2018I think we\u2019ll still probably be cautious with that. I think the goal is probably to get some of them minutes on Saturday, if we can.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Indiana will face Paige Bueckers<\/a> and the Dallas Wings in its next preseason matchup on April 30.<\/p>\n
