Aliyah Boston has been a steady contributor for the Indiana Fever since being drafted as the first pick by the WNBA franchise in 2023. The 24-year-old has developed a great partnership with Caitlin Clark, the 2024 WNBA first pick by the Indiana Fever, alongside other stars like Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull.

Even as the stalled CBA talks continue to put a question mark on the 2026 WNBA season, Boston has been playing Unrivaled Basketball during the current offseason, and her growth has been fearsome. She looks much more aggressive in the paint and has started mixing her game with more medium- to long-range shot attempts as well. Speaking after Phantom BC’s 3-point win over Breeze BC, Boston highlighted how she has been focused on improving her three-point shooting during the offseason.

“I spent the offseason honestly just shooting a lot of threes. I know that’s something I want to be able to be ready to do consistently for the Fever, and so that was definitely my mindset and goal going into it. I think 3-on-3 is definitely helping me continue to work on my timing, on my spacing, just getting a good amount of them up during a game. This is definitely helping,” Boston said.

Aliyah Boston has averaged 26.2% from beyond the arc in the three seasons at the Indiana Fever. In fact, the 24-year-old only had 29 three-point attempts during the entirety of last season.

In comparison, the Indiana Fever forward already attempted 27 three-pointers in Unrivaled Basketball.

And while she has only made 8 of them, she found the rhythm against Breeze, knocking down 2 out of her 5 shots. With perimeter defense sometimes hard to navigate, adding the threat of three-point shooting could make her increasingly difficult to guard.

Boston was also asked what her target was in terms of shooting accuracy, and she stated that while 40% would be a brilliant benchmark to achieve, her focus remains on just becoming more comfortable and finding her best spots on the floor when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc.

Meanwhile, the CBA talks are not toning down even a bit.

The WNBA season dates are beginning to mount pressure on all parties to knock out a CBA agreement

The negotiations between the WNBA and the WNBPA for the CBA terms have stalled for a while now. The moratorium is still ongoing. But with less than 100 days left before the start of the 2026 WNBA season, the offseason proceedings have yet to even start because of the delay in agreeing to CBA terms.

The WNBPA earlier clarified that they have been waiting for a month after sending their latest proposal, with reports that the governing body did not like the terms mentioned and chose not to respond. However, player body president Nneka Ogwumike has called out the WNBA for using the CBA terms as an excuse to delay the entire process.

Kelsey Plum has stated that the player representatives are set to meet the league representatives on Monday in New York, with the hope that some teams will also be present at the meeting.

The Monday meeting could hold crucial talks as a lot of offseason events like the Expansion Draft, Free Agency, the WNBA Draft, and the preseason training are all on hold.

As the season draws near, the players might become more agreeable to the WNBA’s terms, which could be the reason behind the governing body’s delay of the proceedings.
