​Dallas Wings vs. Indiana Fever – 2026 WNBA regular season © Reuters ConnectOn Friday, one netizen claimed that the Indiana Fever had made a mistake by signing Aliyah Boston to a massive contract. Back in April, the Fever signed Boston to a four-year, $6.3 million contract that ESPN described as “the richest total salary in league history to date.”According to the netizen, who goes by the X handle @letstalkksports, this decision by the Fever is worth revisiting.“THE FEVER NEED TO HAVE AN UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATION ABOUT ALIYAH BOSTON. Indiana just committed the largest total-value contract in WNBA history to Boston… and I’m sorry, her current impact does NOT justify tying up 20% of your salary cap every year. She’s a good player. This isn’t about whether she can play. The question is: Is Aliyah Boston really worth superstar money on a team built around Caitlin Clark?…Fever fans – am I crazy, or did Indiana massively overpay?”A number of fans echoed these sentiments about Boston, who was drafted first overall by the Fever in 2023.“I would flip her in a heartbeat,” one fan tweeted.Other fans, meanwhile, came to Boston’s defense.This season, Boston is putting up career highs in scoring (16.9 ppg), steals (1.5 spg), and blocks (1.3 bpg), while also posting 8.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.On Friday, the four-year pro out of South Carolina tallied 14 points, two rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks in a 111-91 rout of the Connecticut Sun. The Fever’s latest win at home propels them to No. 4 in the team standings.Report: Aliyah Boston Set to Compete in Next Season of UnrivaledThough Aliyah Boston has her fair share of detractors, the opportunities keep coming for the Fever center.On Friday, Fever beat reporter Scott Agness tweeted that Boston had inked “a multi-year deal to return to Unrivaled,” which is set to stage its third season.In the second season of Unrivaled, Boston helped Phantom BC secure an 11-3 finish in the regular season. Phantom lost to Breanna Stewart’s Mist BC in the Finals, though Boston bagged Defensive Player of the Year and All-Unrivaled Second Team honors.READ MORE:“Never Seen January Fuss at Anyone Else”: Caitlin Clark Fans Call Out Fever Assistant For Yelling at Superstar GuardReporter Calls Out WNBA Over “6th Woman of the Year” Policy Amid Fever’s Sophie Cunningham CampaignCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
