Indiana Fever navigate season after Aliyah Boston knee injury

Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston suffered a knee injury against the Washington Mystics and was ruled out of the subsequent game versus the Seattle Storm. The injury, described as a “day‑to‑day” issue by head coach Stephanie White, leaves Boston, a former All‑Star averaging 15.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists, sidelined with an uncertain return timeline.

Despite her absence, the Fever secured a 2‑0 start to the season, with teammate Caitlin Clark posting 21 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists. Forward Makayla Timpson also suffered a head collision in the Storm game, adding to the team's injury concerns. WNBA analyst commentary suggests Boston could return “by the end of the season.” The Fever are expected to rely more on Myisha Hines‑Allen while monitoring both Boston’s and Timpson’s recoveries.

The team’s next matchup is against the Portland Fire on Wednesday, where further updates on the injuries are anticipated.
