  "account": "Following the FIBA World Cup, Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White praised Aliyah Boston's performance in an interview with the Fever’s YouTube channel. White called Boston 'terrific,' highlighting her versatility as a player. The Fever do not currently have a player who performs the same way Boston does, both in the interior and stretching, which adds another body to the team. White also noted Boston's growth in her game, explaining how her development allowed her to be on the floor in multiple ways, not just as a post player. Boston has had a remarkable season, averaging 16.9 points per game in the league in 2026, and has been a strong contributor for the USA in Germany. Whether she will make it to the All-WNBA team remains to be seen.",
  "summary": "Stephanie White has recently been asked to give her thoughts on how Aliyah Boston performed at the FIBA World Cup this year. Boston is in the midst of a solid season with the Fever and is currently averaging the third-most points in their team behind Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark.",
