💥“Big Guard Energy” — Fever GM Breaks Silence After Aliyah Boston’s Shocking Postseason Revelation
The Indiana Fever’s 2025 campaign ended not with a bang, but with a bruise. After a grueling 24–20 season that saw them claw into the semifinals before being ousted by the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, the Fever’s promising rise came crashing down under the weight of injuries — Caitlin Clark, Sydney Colson, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and Chloe Bibby all sidelined. Yet amid the chaos, one name never faded: Aliyah Boston.
The 6-foot-5 forward, already a two-time All-Star, became the anchor Indiana refused to lose. Averaging 15.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game, Boston didn’t just fill gaps — she redefined the Fever’s identity. Her consistency, her poise under pressure, and her leadership kept Indiana breathing when their roster was gasping for air. And on Friday, the league made it official: Aliyah Boston was named to the All-WNBA Second Team for the first time in her career.
Moments later, General Manager Amber Cox broke her silence.
“Big guard! What a year for AB,” Cox said. “Incredibly proud of this amazing player and person!”
A simple statement — but one that carried a wave of meaning. Because inside the Fever organization, Boston isn’t just a star. She’s the cornerstone of a rebuild, the one who’s carried expectations since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2023. Her third season was supposed to be a supporting act in Caitlin Clark’s breakout era. Instead, it became her own statement of dominance.
This season’s honor marks Boston’s arrival into elite company — not only did she earn her first All-WNBA selection, but she also landed on the All-Defensive Second Team, solidifying her as one of the league’s most complete players. That’s a rare combination — power and polish, defense and demeanor — wrapped into one relentless competitor.
Fans remember her as the pride of South Carolina, where she delivered a national championship and captured the John R. Wooden Award. But in Indiana, she’s become something different — a leader who refuses to fold, even when the odds do.
Her journey doesn’t pause here. As the Fever head into the offseason, Boston is already preparing for her next challenge — the second season of the Unrivaled three-on-three league this winter, where she’ll return to the court with the same quiet fire that has come to define her. Last year, she averaged 5.9 points and 5.0 rebounds in the league’s debut, but expect more — because that’s what she does: more.
Meanwhile, teammate Kelsey Mitchell earned a spot on the All-WNBA First Team, marking the first time since Tamika Catchings and Katie Douglas (2009–2010) that two Fever players were honored in the same season. That’s not just trivia — it’s a signal. Something in Indiana is shifting.
Amber Cox’s words might sound celebratory, but make no mistake: this is just the beginning of a bigger story. The Fever have weathered injuries, heartbreak, and expectations. But with Aliyah Boston — the “Big Guard” herself — leading from the front, one thing is clear: the next chapter in Indiana isn’t about rebuilding. It’s about rising.
