Aliyah Boston underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Oct. 14. She went under the knife two weeks after the Las Vegas Aces eliminated the Indiana Fever in the first round of the playoffs. The star forward gave an health update via her Instagram story on Thursday,

Boston enjoyed a strong season, averaging 16.1 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks in 40 regular-season games. He also played well in the playoffs, including in Game 3. She recorded 19 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks; however, it wasn’t enough to dethrone the defending champions. Indiana lost the winner-take-all matchup 94-83.

The 24-year-old earned her fourth straight All-Star selection this year. She was also included in Team USA’s lineup for the FIBA Women’s World Cup in Berlin. Boston played a key role for the national team, helping secure its fifth consecutive world championship.

The former South Carolina Gamecocks star will remain with the Fever in 2027. She signed a historic four-year, $6.3 million contract extension last April. Boston and Caitlin Clark are set to team up for at least another campaign, aiming to win a championship.

However, the Fever front office has big decisions to make this offseason. Some of their key players like Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham will become unrestricted free agents, and their futures with the franchise remains up in the air. The team executives will be busy in potentially trying to re-sign them while adding other pieces to surround Boston and Clark with more talent. Indiana finished the regular season with a 28-16 record and clinched the No. 6 seed.
