The Indiana Fever are officially backing up the Brinks truck.
Indiana is signing star forward/center Aliyah Boston to a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension, Shams Charania of ESPN reported on Friday. That marks the richest contract in WNBA history by total value, Charania adds.
Boston, who is set to make $1 million in the 2026 season and then 20 percent of the cap from 2027-29, is a core player for the Fever alongside co-star Caitlin Clark. After going with the No. 1 overall pick to Indiana in 2023, Boston has made three All-Star teams, one All-WNBA team, and one All-Defensive team.
Last season for the Fever, Boston also had a strong year despite the team’s overall mediocrity (in Clark’s injury absence). The 24-year-old Boston averaged 15.0 points, 8.2 points, 3.7 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game over 44 total appearances for Indiana.
With Boston’s sizable new contract, she has officially surpassed the mark that was just set by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces earlier this week. Wilson, 29, signed a supermax contract with the Aces that, at the time, was the largest contract in WNBA history by total value (and still surpasses Boston’s deal by average annual value).
As for the Fever, they are now locked and loaded for the 2026 season and beyond. On top of extending Boston, they re-signed Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull, brought in free agent additions Monique Billings and Tyasha Harris, and also announced big news about fan favorite Sophie Cunningham.
