Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2025 WNBA playoffs. They upset the Atlanta Dream 2-1 in the opening round before evening the semifinal series 2-2 against A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces in Game 4. And on Tuesday, Indiana and Las Vegas will meet in Game 5 with a trip to the finals on the line.

Boston earned her third All-Star selection in 2025 after averaging 15.0 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. While Boston continues her playoff run, it was revealed that she will return for season two of Unrivaled. And that is just one stop in her offseason plans, as she will also be heading back to the television studio.

After her rookie WNBA season in 2023, Boston joined NBC Sports as an in-studio analyst for Peacock’s women’s basketball coverage of Big Ten games during the 2023-24 college season. She worked alongside fellow analyst Megan McKeown and host Carolyn Manno. And on Monday, Front Office Sports' Michael McCarthy revealed that Boston is working on a deal to return to Peacock for the 2025-26 women's college basketball season.

"EXCLUSIVE: Aliyah Boston is finalizing a deal to return to NBC Sports and Peacock this fall as an analyst for Big Ten basketball, sources tell FOS," Front Office Sports wrote on X. "At only 23, Boston is following a dual-career path blazed by Fox’s Greg Olsen, ESPN’s Chiney Ogwumike, and TNT’s Draymond Green."

Boston played her college career for the South Carolina Gamecocks in the SEC. But with Indianapolis at the center of the Big Ten, the fit with Boston makes perfect sense.

The Fever will take on the Aces in Game 5 on Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET. The winner will move on to face the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals, while the loser will see their season come to an end.
