Overview
- Boston agreed Friday to a four-year, $6.3 million extension with Indiana, the largest total contract value in WNBA history.
- The deal pays $1.0 million in 2026 and then 20% of the Fever’s salary cap from 2027 through 2029, with the team saying she accepted about $190,000 less next season to preserve cap space.
- Indiana used the EPIC provision, a new rule that lets an All-WNBA or MVP honoree on a rookie deal replace the final rookie year with a multi-year extension, and Boston is the first player to sign under it.
- Fever GM Amber Cox called Boston a cornerstone in the team’s statement, Boston said she felt “super blessed,” and Caitlin Clark posted public congratulations.
- Indiana opens training camp Sunday, and the team lists Boston’s status for the May 9 season opener as TBD.
