Aliyah Boston, the South Carolina women’s basketball alum known for her lockdown defense and efficient scoring, has agreed to a multi‑year contract that will keep her with Unrivaled through a third season in the league’s 3‑on‑3 format.
Defensive Excellence and All‑Star pedigree
Last year she earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in Unrivaled and was selected to the second‑team All‑Unrivaled roster. In the WNBA, Boston continues to rank among the league’s most versatile forwards, averaging a career‑high 17.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 52.4% from the field, 41.7% from three‑point range and 82.4% from the free‑throw line.
Her former team, the Indiana Fever, sits at the No. 5 seed in the postseason race and has already secured a playoff berth, a milestone that underscores the impact of Boston’s contributions on both ends of the court.
A Dual Path: 3‑on‑3 and the World Stage
Beyond the domestic schedule, Boston will join forces with fellow Gamecock legend A’ja Wilson for the 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin, where the tournament runs from September 4 to 13. The prospect of pairing Boston’s defensive intensity with Wilson’s inside presence promises to make the U.S. squad a formidable contender on the international stage.
The upcoming season will see Boston balancing the fast‑paced demands of Unrivaled’s 3‑on‑3 play with the rigors of representing her country abroad, a combination that could further cement her reputation as one of the most complete talents in the women’s game.
