Three-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston has landed a landmark contract extension with the Indiana Fever.
Three-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston has landed a landmark contract extension, agreeing to a four-year, $6.3 million deal with the Indiana Fever. It is the richest total salary in league history.
The extension was confirmed by her agent Zack Miller and comes as Boston continues to cement her status as one of the league’s top young stars, ESPN reports. The deal was made possible through a new provision in the WNBA’s recently ratified collective bargaining agreement, which allows high-performing players still on rookie contracts to renegotiate earlier than previously allowed.
“I’m super blessed and grateful for this opportunity and to continue my journey here with the Fever. God is good!” Boston said. “I’m excited for the future ahead for both myself and for our team, and I can’t wait to keep building upon everything we have accomplished so far.”
Boston’s deal briefly surpasses the three-year, $5 million supermax extension recently signed by A’ja Wilson.
