INDIANA FEVER’S ALIYAH BOSTON SELECTED AS STARTER FOR 2025 AT&T WNBA ALL-STAR GAME
INDIANAPOLIS (June 30, 2025) — The Indiana Fever, in conjunction with the Women’s National Basketball Association, has announced that center/forward Aliyah Boston has been selected as a starter for the 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game, which will be hosted at the Fever’s home of Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on July 18-19.
Boston joins fellow teammate Caitlin Clark, who was previously announced as a 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game captain, officially making it two players, thus far, who will represent the Indiana Fever in this year’s game.
With her WNBA All-Star selection, Boston joins Tamika Catchings as the only Indiana Fever player to earn three WNBA All-Star selections. This also marks the second time Boston has been selected as a starter, her first being in 2023.
Boston is currently averaging 15.0 points per game and 8.2 rebounds per game, while leading the entire league in field goal percentage with 59.7%, three percent higher than the next highest player, a current career-high for the University of South Carolina alum. Already this season, Boston has set new single-game career highs in points with 31 points, scored against Seattle on June 24. Additionally, Boston has set or matched career highs in assists (8 vs. CON, 5/30/25), steals (5 vs. LAS, 6/26/25), field goals made (13 vs. SEA, 6/24/25) and blocks (5 vs. CHI, 5/17/25).
On June 20, Boston recorded her 29th career double-double, giving her the second most in Indiana Fever history, only behind Hall of Famer Catchings. Overall, Boston has recorded seven double-doubles, giving her 31 total across her WNBA career. Boston has also moved into fourth all-time in Indiana Fever blocks with 119 and is three away from moving into fifth all-time in rebounds.
Reserves, as voted upon by the league’s head coaches, for the upcoming 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game will be announced Sunday, July 6 at 12 p.m. ET.

GAME PREVIEW:
The Fever will compete for a trophy on Tuesday night in Minnesota, as Indiana faces the Lynx in the WNBA Commissioner’s Cup Championship. It is Indiana’s first appearance in the title game of the Commissioner’s Cup, which is in its fifth year of existence. Minnesota is looking to repeat as Commissioner’s Cup champions after taking home the title in 2024.
Indiana advanced to the championship game by going 4-1 against conference foes during Commissioner’s Cup play over the first two weeks of June. The Lynx went 5-1 against Western Conference opponents to also advance to the championship game.
The winner of Tuesday’s game will receive the Commissioner’s Cup Trophy and all players on the roster will receive a share of a dedicated prize pool for the Commissioner’s Cup champions.
“It’s a huge opportunity for us,” Fever All-Star guard Caitlin Clark said. “We’re going to go in there and they have a great crowd, a great environment. A team that’s very experienced with one another. Have been in the Finals, have been in big situations, won the Commissioner’s Cup last year. I think it’s a really great opportunity for us to go in there and see what we’re made of.”
While Tuesday’s game will not count toward the regular season standings, the Lynx have been the league’s best team so far this season with a 14-2 record, 2.5 games ahead of second-place Minnesota.
Minnesota is led by star forward Napheesa Collier, who leads the WNBA in scoring by a wide margin, averaging 24.4 points per game to go along with 8.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks. Collier has made the All-WNBA first team each of the past two years and was named the league Defensive Player of the Year in 2024. She is shooting 52.5 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from 3-point range.
Collier and Clark were selected to be the two captains for WNBA All-Star 2025 in Indianapolis. Clark has missed the past two games with a groin injury, but is averaging 18.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.9 assists so far this season.
Tuesday’s Commissioner’s Cup Championship is also a rematch of the Fever’s two most recent trips to the WNBA Finals. The Fever defeated Minnesota for the franchise’s lone WNBA title in 2012 and lost to the Lynx in five games in 2015. Current head coach Stephanie White was an assistant coach on the 2012 team and the head coach in 2015.
