Aliyah Boston reaches 4-year, $6.3M extension with Fever

Three-time WNBA All-Star Aliyah Boston has agreed to a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension with the Indiana Fever, her agent Zack Miller told ESPN, giving her the richest total salary in league history to date.

Boston was eligible for the contract extension through a new provision in the league’s recently ratified collective bargaining agreement. With her previously earning an all-WNBA selection, she effectively replaced what she was set to earn in 2026 with an accelerated path to earning the max.

Boston will earn $1 million in 2026, lower than the standard $1.19 million max deal she was eligible for — choosing to take less money to help the Fever pay others on their roster. She will then earn 20% of the cap in each subsequent season through 2029.

Boston has averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 54.7% since being selected No. 1 overall by the Fever in 2023.

Indiana has sought to build around Boston, fellow No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark and star guard Kelsey Mitchell, the latter of whom was a free agent and just signed a one-year deal at the supermax to return to Indiana.

Boston is coming off a career season in which she tied for sixth in MVP voting while also earning all-defensive and all-WNBA second-team nods. Despite dealing with a host of injuries, the Fever made a surprising run to the semifinals in 2025 before falling to the eventual champion Las Vegas Aces.
