Fever-Pacers Connection: Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark Bring Excitement to Indiana Basketball
During a Pacers playoff game in Indianapolis, Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark thrilled fans by tossing t-shirts into the crowd. While Clark has been widely praised for her high-scoring performances and record-breaking feats, it’s not her own scoring abilities that excite her most – it’s the opportunity to play alongside Aliyah Boston, the Fever’s 2023 No. 1 overall pick.
Clark recently became the No. 1 overall pick for the Indiana Fever in the 2024 WNBA Draft. Analysts, league evaluators, and Clark herself have all acknowledged that her passing skills will be a major asset at the professional level. Boston’s ability to run the floor and make precision passes to teammates has been highlighted as a crucial aspect of her game.
Despite Boston’s dominance in the paint and Kelsey Mitchell’s scoring prowess, the Fever struggled with assists per game last season. Clark’s arrival is expected to elevate the team’s playmaking abilities and help them compete at a higher level. With both Boston and Clark on the roster, the Fever are optimistic about their chances of contending for a title in the near future.
