Latest News About Aliyah Boston Contract

Aliyah Boston has agreed to a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension with the Indiana Fever, making it the richest total salary in WNBA history to date (as reported mid-April 2026). The deal pays $1 million in 2026 and 20% of the salary cap in each subsequent year through 2029. This extension follows a strong 2025 season where she averaged around 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, helping Indiana reach the semifinals. Boston’s new deal stems from provisions in the latest CBA and confirms her status as a core piece for the Fever alongside Caitlin Clark.
