“Happy Birthday to this unicorn. Love you girly!,” Wheeler wrote on her Instagram story.

"Forever dance partner for sure. Thank you!!! Don't attack the Megan knees I was warming up," Boston wrote as she re-shared the post on her IG story.

Aliyah Boston averaged 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game as she played the entire season for the Fever. The athletic forward has also been the team’s defensive anchor throughout the year, posting a team-high 1.2 blocks per game.

Boston was selected as the number one pick in the 2023 WNBA draft, a year before the Fever again struck gold with the selection of star guard Caitlin Clark in 2024.

Like Clark this year, Boston won the 2023 Rookie of the Year after norming 14.5 points and 8.4 rebounds per game in her first year in the professional league.

Together with Clark, Boston, and veterans Kelsey Mitchell and NaLyssa Smith, the Fever reached their first WNBA playoffs since the 2016 season. They finished the regular season with a 20-20 win-loss record.
