“I Would Flip Her in a Heartbeat”: Fever Fans Are Done With Aliyah Boston Amid Talks of “Overpay”
On 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.
Fans of the Indiana Fever are expressing discontent with the team's recent decision to sign Aliyah Boston to a four-year, $6.3 million contract, which ESPN reported as the highest total salary in WNBA history. @letstalkksports, an X user, questioned whether the Fever overpaid Boston when they secured her services despite her current impact not fully justifying the salary cap commitment.
The Fever's general consensus is that Boston is a good player, but her superstar-tier salary is questionable, especially considering the team is built around star Caitlin Clark. Fans have been split on the matter, with some calling for the team to reconsider their decision, while others stand by Boston's performance. Boston, who was drafted first overall by the Fever in 2023, has been putting up impressive numbers this season, including career-highs in scoring, steals, and blocks.
In a recent game against the Connecticut Sun, she scored 14 points, grabbed two rebounds, dished out two assists, recorded two steals, and blocked three shots, leading the Fever to a 111-91 victory. Despite the criticism, Boston is set to continue her career with the Fever, having recently signed a multi-year deal to return to Unrivaled for its third season.
