The Indiana Fever hint at their priorities as the team signed Aliyah Boston on a four-year contract, seeing a long-term future with the talented forward. While the player was happy to re-sign with the Fever side, her $6.3 million contract is the highest value in the league history, breaking the earlier record set by A’ja Wilson.
As the player returned to the training camp, one of the early questions she faced was about her contract, and she gave her honest opinion about the contract.
Aliyah Boston Reacts To Indiana Fever Contract
Ever since the former South Carolina Tar joined the Fever franchise, she had been the team’s most important player on the floor. Making an impact on both ends of the floor, she established herself as a key building piece for the Indiana Fever team, so there was not much surprise about the bigger contract for the player.
Reacting to the same in a press conference, Boston said, “Super blessed. God is great, man … to get that extension … I’m super excited about it. Once the CBA was finalized, my agent handled all of that. I’d just sit back, watch a good show and wait for him to call me.”
