After the Indiana Fever secured their fifth straight win, exciting news about star player Aliya Boston has emerged. Boston, a standout on the Fever squad, helped lead the team to a 78-74 victory over the Seattle Storm on Sunday and has launched a new podcast titled “Post Move.”
In the recent game, 23-year-old Boston recorded a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds, stepping up during the 16th game missed by teammate Kate Linklark due to injury this season. The former South Carolina top draft pick of 2023 has been impressive throughout the season, averaging 15.5 points and 8.3 rebounds.
The Fever, now holding a 17-12 record, are enjoying a WNBA-high five-game winning streak. WNBA legend Candace Parker has also been highlighted as the team faces five of the next six opponents with losing records.
Significant podcast news surfaced on Monday, revealing that “Post Moves” has rapidly climbed the Apple Podcast charts, surpassing popular shows like “Pardon My Take” and “The Bill Simmons Podcast.” This achievement is particularly notable given that only one full-length episode has been released so far.
The debut episode, titled “Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston,” which discussed WNBA pay, media criticism, and featured Caitlin Clark, drew considerable attention—especially for Parker’s pointed criticism of the WNBA All-Star Game and her response to backlash over comments about Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
On the court, Boston has continued to excel, making history during the Fever’s win against the Storm by breaking the franchise record for most consecutive double-doubles, previously held by three-time WNBA All-Star Caitlin Clark. The team’s success without Clark in the lineup for seven games underscores Boston’s growing role and the Fever’s development, as they have advanced with a largely young roster.
Looking ahead, the second episode of “Post Moves” is slated for release this Wednesday. Meanwhile, Clark’s return to the court remains uncertain, keeping Boston as the Fever’s key player for now. Indiana will next face the Los Angeles Sparks at 10 pm ET on Tuesday, with the game broadcast on CBSSN.
Fan Take: Aliya Boston’s rise both on the court and in the podcasting world is a sign of the expanding influence of WNBA stars beyond basketball. This blend of athletic achievement and media presence could help elevate the league’s profile and bring more fans closer to the game and its players.
