Aliyah Boston seems really pumped for the upcoming WNBA season with her team, the Indiana Fever. Boston recently posted a video on her Instagram account, showing her training and working hard in the Indiana Fever training facility.

The player has had an eventful WNBA off-season after being a part of the Vinyl basketball club in the inaugural season of the Unrivaled League. It looks like Boston will be making use of the remaining offseason to retrain her focus for the WNBA.

“We are so backkkkk,” Aliyah Boston captioned the video showing herself training on the court at Indiana Fever’s facility.

Aliyah Boston has been playing in the WNBA since 2023 after being selected by the Indiana Fever as the first overall pick in the very first round of the draft. In her first season with the Fever, Boston was named the WNBA Rookie of the Year, and also made it to the WNBA All-Rookie team.

Before her days in the WNBA, Boston played college basketball for the South Carolina Gamecocks from 2019 to 2023 and won the NCAA championship in 2022. In the same year, she was named the Naismith College Player of the Year, and has won the Naismith DPOY twice.
