Indiana Fever star center Aliyah Boston exited Tuesday night's game against the Seattle Storm in the second quarter with an apparent knee injury. The team later ruled her out for the remainder of the contest. Boston, a four-time WNBA All-Star, suffered the injury after setting a screen and colliding with Storm forward Flau’jae Johnson, causing her to fall awkwardly. She immediately grabbed her right knee before being helped off the floor.
Despite Boston’s early departure, the Fever secured a 103-95 victory, completing a season sweep over Seattle. Caitlin Clark led Indiana with 32 points, while Kelsey Mitchell added 28. The win improves the Fever’s record to 18-10 on the season.
Boston, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick, had been managing a persistent lower leg injury since the offseason but had remained durable throughout her WNBA career until this season. The Fever have faced significant injury challenges in recent years, including Clark missing all but 13 games last season. The team’s core—Boston, Clark, and Mitchell—has had limited time together due to these setbacks.
The Fever continue their West Coast trip on Friday against the Portland Fire. No official update on Boston’s status has been released as of this report.
