Aliyah Boston signs historic $6.3 million extension to stay with Fever

Aliyah Boston is, for now, the richest player in WNBA history.

Or, at least she will be in a few years.

Boston inked a four-year, $6.3 million extension to remain with the Indiana Fever, according to ESPN, leading the team alongside Caitlin Clark for the foreseeable future.

Clark, by the way, is very happy about this and has congratulated Boston on social media.

Boston, 24, is already signed through 2026, the last of her rookie scale contract, at $574,000, but will now be under contract through the 2030 campaign.

Clark, who has two years left on her deal at $529,000 and $598,000, respectively, will be eligible for a long-term extension next offseason.

Boston, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2023, hasn’t missed a WNBA game in her three-year career and has been an All-Star each season.

This past season, the South Carolina alum averaged a career-high 15 points with 8.2 rebounds and a personal-best 3.7 assists per contest.

Boston, who also averaged 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks, has also quickly become one of the most impactful defenders in the WNBA, earning All-Defense Second Team and All-WNBA Second Team honors as Clark’s season was shortened to 13 games due to injury.

The Fever were also plus-10.2 net per 100 possessions with Boston on the floor versus off of it, ranking No. 1 on the team in 2025.

Boston also starred on the Clark-less Fever that muscled their way to the WNBA semifinals last season, forcing a five-game series against the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.

Boston averaged 12.5 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists during the postseason.
