Fever have concerning update before Liberty game

The Indiana Fever saw their five-game winning streak end on Thursday against the Dallas Wings. They also received a concerning update the following day about Aliyah Boston.

The four-time All-Star played another solid game, finishing with 14 points, nine rebounds and two steals in the 91-85 loss. Kelsey Mitchell spearheaded Indiana’s charge with a game-high 37 points along with five assists, while Makayla Timpson produced an 11-point, 12-rebound double-double.

Boston is one of the team’s most consistent performers this season. She anchors the interior defense and has been showcasing her elite skill set. The center-forward also provides the Fever with a proven scorer who can create her own shots with her agility and athleticism.

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22) puts her arm around forward Aliyah Boston (7).

Aliyah Boston added to Fever’s injury report

Boston is listed as questionable for Saturday’s game versus the New York Liberty. She is reportedly dealing with a right lower leg injury and is in danger of missing the matchup.

Not having the 24-year-old will be a huge blow to Indiana. Boston provides the team toughness inside the paint and her production won’t be easy to fill. Head coach Stephanie White could insert Monique Billings into the starting lineup if Boston is ultimately ruled out.

Her potential absence places an even heavier offensive load on Mitchell and Caitlin Clark. However, the Fever’s other players like Sophie Cunningham and Lexie Hull need to step up to help them get back on track.

Indiana is amid a five-game road trip and Saturday’s fixture is the fourth of the series. The team has won 10 of its last 13 games and are in a tight battle with the Las Vegas Aces and Atlanta Dream for third place. Boston and Co. are half-a-game behind the Aces and leading the Dream by the same margin. They will wrap up their road trip on Sunday against the Chicago Sky before playing three of their last five games at home.
