US EditionAliyah Boston Gets Extension with Fever Under WNBA's New Provision for Exceptional Performance
Aliyah Boston’s deal sets a WNBA record with $6.3 million in total salary as Indiana keeps its core intact through 2029.
- On Friday, Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston signed a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension, the richest total salary in WNBA history, keeping her with the franchise through 2029.
- The extension utilizes the league's new Exceptional Performance on Initial Contract provision, ratified last month in the collective bargaining agreement, which allows teams to extend rookie contracts for All-WNBA selections.
- Boston accepted $1 million for the 2026 season, voluntarily taking less than the $1.19 million maximum she was eligible for, providing the Fever with financial flexibility for roster additions.
- Indiana Fever COO and General Manager Amber Cox called the move "groundbreaking," noting Boston is the first player in league history to sign under the EPIC provision as training camp begins Sunday.
- With Boston locked in, the Fever maintain a strong core alongside fellow standout Caitlin Clark, aiming to build on their second-round playoff appearance last season despite navigating injuries.
