Aliyah Boston has always been a force on the court, but with her latest milestone, she’s officially entered rarefied air. The Indiana Fever forward became just the third youngest player in WNBA history to reach 1,500 career points, further solidifying her place as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
At only 23, Boston joins legends Diana Taurasi and Maya Moore as the only players to hit the 1,500-point mark at such a young age. What makes the accomplishment even more impressive is how quickly she’s adapted to the professional game. Known for her efficient scoring, dominant rebounding, and poise beyond her years, Boston has been a consistent contributor since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in 2023.
Her sophomore season has been a showcase of growth and versatility. Despite facing double teams and increased defensive pressure, Boston has remained one of the most reliable interior scorers in the league. She’s averaging career-high numbers in points and rebounds while also taking on a larger leadership role for the young Fever squad.
“She’s just getting started,” Fever head coach Christie Sides said after the game. “Aliyah is a generational talent not just in her skill set, but in her mentality. We’re witnessing something special.”
Boston’s milestone isn’t just a personal achievement, it’s a signal to the rest of the league that the next generation is here and ready to take over. With Caitlin Clark as her teammate and a young core building chemistry, Indiana’s future looks increasingly bright.
For Boston, this is just the beginning. The numbers are piling up, the wins are coming, and the sky is the limit.
