Fever fans bracing for more bad news amid Aliyah Boston injury
The Indiana Fever played shorthanded on Sunday against the Seattle Storm. Aliyah Boston missed her first WNBA game after she sustained a knee injury versus the Washington Mystics two days earlier.
Myisha Hines-Allen started in her place, and there is no clear timeline for Boston’s return. Boston was expected to be a key contributor this season and came off an All-Star campaign. The center appeared in all 44 regular-season games, averaging 15.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.2 steals.
Boston hobbled to the sideline in the third quarter against the Mystics and went to the locker room. The team announced in the fourth period that they had ruled her out for the remainder of the matchup. Indiana head coach Stephanie White labeled her as day-to-day.
Makayla Timpson adds to Indiana Fever’s injury woes
Makayla Timpson and Storm guard Jade Melbourne collided late in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The Fever forward-center was hit on the face and headed to the locker room with a towel covering her mouth. She did not return.
White said during her postgame availability that there’s no update on Timpson’s status, per Fever reporter Chloe Peterson of the Indianapolis Star.
Indiana supporters are now bracing for more potential bad news on Timpson amid Boston’s injury.
“It feels like we can’t get away from injuries smh,” a comment on X read.
“Clearly concussed. That was a WR going over the middle in the 90’s. Week to 10 days,” another said.
“Why was that not a flagrant foul? She literally ran through her, which is a dangerous play. She got hit in the head quite clearly and there wasn’t even a review. How is that even possible?” argued a user.
“Oh man not kk too …..AB not Kk,” a reaction read.
“Hope KK is alright! 🙏🙏🙏” said another.
The second-year forward finished the game with six points, six rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes. She is a regular in the rotation, averaging 11.0 minutes per game.
The Fever gave Timpson more playing time with Boston sidelined, but they will likely field Myisha Hines-Allen more should Timpson miss time.
Indiana won its second game of the season despite the injuries. Caitlin Clark posted 21 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists, while Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham contributed 17 points each.
Timpson’s next chance to play will be on Wednesday when the Fever host the Portland Fire at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The team is expected to provide an update in the coming days about her and Boston’s availability.
