Overview
- Aliyah Boston, who agreed Friday to a four-year, $6.3 million extension with the Indiana Fever, now holds the largest total contract in WNBA history to date.
- Her deal pays $1 million in 2026, then 20% of Indiana’s salary cap in each season from 2027 through 2029.
- Boston is the first player to sign under the EPIC provision, which lets All-WNBA honorees on rookie deals replace the fourth year with the start of a multi-year extension.
- She accepted slightly less than her eligible $1.19 million for 2026 to keep roster flexibility as the Fever build around Boston, Caitlin Clark and re-signed guard Kelsey Mitchell on a one-year $1.4 million supermax.
- The agreement surpasses A’ja Wilson’s recent mark and reflects a fast-moving market under the new CBA, where EPIC and supermax mechanisms are pushing salaries to new highs.
