In her third WNBA season, Boston made her third All-Star selection as a starter. She finished No. 2 among forwards in the 2025 All-Star fan voting, only behind Napheesa Collier. When asked about her All-Star selection, the Fever star said she was excited to play in front of the home crowd.

"Yeah it's super special," Boston said. "You don't take any moment for being an All-Star for granted. So, I am super thankful for everyone that voted. I think it's such a great, such a fun opportunity, especially being in Indy. I think things can be pretty awesome."

Being the No. 1 selection in the 2023 WNBA draft, the Indiana Fever star has delivered on the hype. Notably, the Fever forward has been an All-Star in every season she has played.

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game will be played at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on July 19. The All-Star reserves will be announced on Sunday.

Efficiency and availability have been two of the most crucial parts of Boston's three-year WNBA career. The Fever star has played every game for the Fever since she was drafted in 2023. Moreover, she has done an outstanding job of creating shots for herself and withholding her opponents from scoring.

This season, Boston is having a career season, especially on the offensive end. The Fever star is averaging a career-high 15.9 points per game while making 59.7% of her shots [a career-high again]. She is also averaging a career-high 3.6 assists per game.

On the defensive end, Aliyah Boston is averaging 8.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.8 blocks [tied with career-high] in 16 games. Boston is putting up these numbers despite playing the lowest minutes (30.1) of her career.
