Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston have now finished their third season with the Indiana Fever together, but 2026 didn’t go as they would have hoped. After finishing the regular season with a 28-16 record, the Fever earned the No. 6 seed in the WNBA Playoffs. But their postseason run didn’t last long, falling to A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces 2-1 in the first round.
Clark had arguably her best season since joining the league in 2024. The former Iowa Hawkeyes guard averaged a career-high of 22.3 points on 44.6% shooting, while adding 8.3 assists per game. Boston, on the other hand, also tallied a career-high of 16.1 points per game on 52.8% shooting, grabbing 8.0 rebounds as well.
But following the 2025 season, during which Clark appeared in just 13 games, the Fever guard spent the offseason getting healthy for 2026. Now, Boston will look to do the same ahead of the 2027 season.

Boston played in Season 2 of the 3-on-3 Unrivaled league last offseason, but her campaign ended early after she suffered a knee injury. The former South Carolina forward was diagnosed with a lateral meniscus tear in her right knee, but she still didn’t miss the start of the 2026 WNBA season, appearing in 40 of Indiana’s 44 regular-season games.
And on Thursday, despite playing through the injury in 2026, the Fever announced that Boston underwent a successful right knee arthroscopy this week, performed by Dr. Corey Kendall at OrthoIndy, and will begin her recovery process.
“Aliyah Boston underwent a successful right knee arthroscopy to repair the lateral meniscus on Wednesday,” the Fever wrote on Instagram.
Clark took notice of her All-Star teammate’s surgery, sharing support for Boston on her Instagram Story: “❤️❤️❤️comeback gonna go crazy.”
While Clark, Boston and the Fever continue their offseason, the Golden State Valkyries will host the Atlanta Dream in Game 1 of the 2026 WNBA Finals on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
