Aliyah Boston Helps Team USA Claim Fifth Straight World Cup Title

Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston helped Team USA win its fifth consecutive FIBA World Cup title, contributing despite coming off the bench in all six games. She averaged about 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in roughly 17 minutes per game and posted the team’s second-best plus-minus rating, underscoring her impact beyond the box score. Fever coach Stephanie White praised Boston’s development, particularly her ability to provide an interior presence while also stretching defenses with improved three-point shooting. Boston called representing the United States an honor and said she viewed the opportunity to wear the national jersey as one that could not be taken for granted. After the championship, she also expressed optimism about future Team USA opportunities with teammate Sonia Citron.
