Fever extend Boston with record 4-year, $6.3M deal

Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston is signing a four-year contract extension worth $6.3 million, her agent, Zack Miller, told ESPN's Shams Charania, Alexa Philippou, and Kendra Andrews.

The deal is the largest ever signed in the WNBA, overtaking the reported three-year, $5-million extension A'ja Wilson agreed to Wednesday with the Las Vegas Aces.

Boston, 24, will earn $1 million in 2026, and her salary will jump to the maximum 20% of the WNBA salary cap (currently $1.4 million) for the remainder of the deal.

Indiana selected the South Carolina product first overall in 2023. She went on to win Rookie of the Year by unanimous vote after averaging 14.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.3 blocks in 40 games.

In 2025, her third season, Boston started all 44 games for the Fever, who reached the postseason despite co-star Caitlin Clark missing the final two months due to a groin injury and a bone bruise in her left ankle.
