The Phantom BC had been a team to beat in season 2 with their new additions, Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Plum shining on the floor for them. They even set a record for the first duo to score 30+ points in the same game and led the team to seven consecutive wins to put the Phantom BC in the top spot and semifinal of the competition.
While Boston was looking to take her Unrivaled success and improve her skillsets to make more impact with the Indiana Fever team, recent news is certainly a concerning sign for the WNA team.
