The Indiana Fever will be without Aliyah Boston on Sunday night against Seattle due to a lower right leg injury, bringing an end to her 275-game consecutive appearance run.
Indiana Fever fans were still getting used to a slower start to the season when another hit landed—this one coming straight from their star.
Indiana is 1-2 after dropping its first two home games, and the timing of what’s next makes the challenge sharper. Boston, the Fever’s star center, is set to miss Sunday night’s game against the Seattle Storm with a lower right leg injury.
Boston’s absence also ends a remarkable streak. She has played in 275 consecutive games dating back to her college career at South Carolina, and that run will come to a close with this missed appearance.
The injury comes with other early-season issues already showing up in her numbers. Through the season’s start, Boston is averaging 12 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes per game. Foul trouble has been a recurring theme as well—she is averaging 3.3 fouls per game despite the limited minutes.
With Indiana trying to climb back to .500 on Sunday night, the Fever will have to adjust plans without their consistent presence in the middle.
The pattern is hard to ignore: the Fever’s 1-2 start after two home losses arrives alongside a season where Boston is already averaging 3.3 fouls per game. and now a lower right leg injury forces her off the floor for the Seattle matchup—turning a tough stretch into an even bigger obstacle before the push toward .500.
