Aliyah Boston Signs Record $6.3 Million EPIC Extension With Fever

The agreement uses a new CBA clause that lifts star pay, signaling a shift in roster planning.

Overview

  • Boston and the Fever agreed Friday to a four-year, $6.3 million extension, the largest total value contract in WNBA history.
  • Her 2026 salary is set at $1 million, roughly $190,000 below her eligible max, a cut the team says preserves cap space for depth.
  • The deal is the first executed under the EPIC clause, which lets All‑WNBA players on rookie contracts renegotiate in year four, and it sets her 2027–29 pay at 20% of Indiana’s cap.
  • The new CBA that raised the team cap to about $7 million and set a $1.4 million supermax has reset salaries across the league and accelerated extensions for top players.
  • Indiana fortified its core with Kelsey Mitchell’s one-year $1.4 million supermax and returns like Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham as training camp opens Sunday, while Boston expressed gratitude and Caitlin Clark congratulated her.
