Aliyah Boston took charge for Team Clark in captain Caitlin Clark's absence during the 2025 WNBA All-Star game. With Clark sidelined because of a groin injury, they needed a burst from Boston, who was starting this year, to have a big night.
Boston tipped things off for Team Clark with a 3-pointer to give them their first points of the night. She followed it with a drive, adding a couple more points. Boston added a rebound and an assist as well, ending her first stint efficiently.
Boston returned to start the second quarter. She didn't produce anything scoring-wise, but added two more rebounds and an assist in that stretch. Boston stayed on the floor for an extended run coming out of the timeout, but could only add a rebound to her box score before the half ended.
Boston's final box score after the first half saw her score five points, grab five rebounds, and dish out two assists, shooting 2 of 4 from the field, including 1 of 3 from beyond the arc.
Aliyah Boston finally got a couple of shots to go in the third quarter. She made her two attempts from the floor, increasing her points tally to nine on the night, while adding one more rebound.
Boston's stats remained the same the rest of the way. She ended the night with nine points, six rebounds and two assists on 4 of 7 shooting, including 1 of 4 from deep. Boston was a +/- -18 in a 151-131 loss for Team Clark.
Aliyah Boston on Indiana's rousing 2025 WNBA All-Star support
The home fans' support for the 2025 WNBA All-Star in Indiana stood out. It was one of the most celebrated annual carnivals because of them. Home-team, Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston wasn't surprised at the reception. Here's what she said on air during the third quarter:
"We're not surprised. Everyone that comes to Gainbridge [Fieldhouse] for a home game, they're loud, they pack the house and they did tonight."The Indiana Fever have been responsible for the viewership numbers going off the charts. Having the All-Star weekend in the city was always doing wonders for the WNBA's growth, especially because of Caitlin Clark's presence.
Even though she didn't suit up, the weekend will go down as one of the most memorable ones.
