Aliyah Boston, a standout figure in women’s basketball, will continue her busy athletic schedule even after the conclusion of the WNBA season in October. Currently in a high-stakes semifinal series with her Indiana Fever team against the Las Vegas Aces, Boston hopes to secure a win that will propel her to the WNBA championship face-off against the Phoenix Mercury.
Boston, who achieved legendary status during her time with South Carolina, has committed to two significant offseason roles. One of these is with the Unrivaled Basketball 3-on-3 league, where she previously played a critical role in taking Team Vinyl to the championship game. Alongside Boston, another former Gamecock, Allisha Gray, will also participate in this league’s offseason activities.
Apart from her competitive commitments on the court, Boston is set to return to broadcasting roles, continuing her stint with NBC Sports and Peacock. Having impressed audiences as a studio analyst and potential game analyst for BIG Ten women’s basketball, her return has been warmly welcomed.
Boston’s remarkable professional career includes three consecutive WNBA All-Star selections. This year, she notched her highest scoring average with 15 points per game, also achieving career bests in assists and shooting efficiency. Her robust performance includes averages of 8.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game.
During her illustrious college career at South Carolina, Boston was celebrated as a National Champion and garnered numerous accolades, including National Player of the Year and National Defensive Player of the Year. She holds the record as the Gamecocks’ all-time leader in double-doubles and rebounds, having also been a four-time recipient of the Lisa Leslie Award for the nation’s top center. As Boston balances her roles in sports and media, her multifaceted career continues to inspire admiration from fans and peers alike.
