With the WNBA season wrapping up and players itching to keep the competitive juices flowing, it seems Miami is about to get a whole new kind of heat this winter. Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston, known for her dominance on the court and Rookie of the Year accolades, has decided she’s not done bringing the fire—she’s taking her talents to the newly formed Unrivaled League.
In a league founded by two other WNBA powerhouses, Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty and Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx, Unrivaled is looking to mix up the status quo with high-stakes three-on-three games. Who needs five players anyway? The league has carefully curated a select group of 36 players, and Boston’s addition brings some well-needed charisma (and an Indiana Fever vibe) to the Miami-based tournament.
“MIAMIIII LET’S GET IT. So excited!!!!” Boston posted online, all caps and exclamation points fully intact. It’s safe to say, if anyone’s ready to bring the energy to South Beach, it’s Aliyah Boston.
The Unrivaled League has already become the talk of the WNBA offseason. The idea of WNBA stars playing three-on-three games feels like a beautiful blend of high school gym class, streetball flair, and Olympic dreams. It’s just the kind of fresh, fast-paced action basketball fans didn’t know they needed but now can’t wait to see. And with Boston in the mix, we can expect nothing short of a masterclass in competitive spirit with some South Beach swagger.
Boston isn’t alone from her Indiana Fever family, either. Her teammate Lexie Hull has also signed on, bringing a little bit of Midwest grit to balance out all the Miami sunshine. The Fever duo, reunited in Florida, promises to make quite a splash in the inaugural season, set to start this January.
After an impressive 2024 WNBA season averaging 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, Boston continues to cement herself as a standout in the league. The Unrivaled League will give her a chance to flex those same talents on a smaller court but with all the same intensity.
With a championship trophy and South Beach vibes on her radar, Aliyah Boston is set to bring it all to Miami’s courts this winter. And basketball fans can’t wait to see if the city that thrives on larger-than-life personalities is ready for a Boston-style takeover.
