Aliyah Boston Hits 1,500 Career Points with Indiana Fever: A New Milestone for the Former Gamecock Star
Former South Carolina superstar Aliyah Boston continues to carve out a legacy in the WNBA, this time reaching a major career milestone: 1,500 career points with the Indiana Fever. The achievement adds another chapter to the already-decorated résumé of the 2023 WNBA Rookie of the Year and one of the most dominant post players to come out of the college game in recent memory.
Boston reached the 1,500-point mark during a recent Fever matchup in July 2025, showcasing the same poise, power, and efficiency that made her a household name during her time in Columbia. Since being selected No. 1 overall in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Boston has been the cornerstone of the Fever’s rebuilding process, anchoring the paint on both ends of the floor.
From Gamecock Greatness to Pro Stardom
At South Carolina, Boston was nothing short of legendary under head coach Dawn Staley. She helped lead the Gamecocks to a national championship in 2022, earned Naismith Player of the Year honors, and joined elite company by finishing her college career with over 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds. She was also a four-time Lisa Leslie Award winner and a model of consistency and leadership throughout her time in garnet and black.
Now with the Fever, Boston has continued that trajectory of greatness. She averaged 14.5 points and 8.4 rebounds in her rookie season, quickly becoming one of the league’s top post threats. Alongside 2024 No. 1 pick Caitlin Clark, Boston has helped turn the Fever into one of the most talked-about young teams in the WNBA.
A Milestone with More to Come
Reaching 1,500 points is just the latest sign of Boston’s rising star in the pros. She has already notched multiple double-doubles this season, maintained high shooting percentages, and continues to earn praise from teammates, analysts, and legends of the game. ESPN analysts like Rebecca Lobo and LaChina Robinson have called Boston “the future of the league’s frontcourt.”
Boston’s milestone not only highlights her consistency and growth, but also reflects her role as a leader and role model for the next generation of players—especially those watching from her alma mater in South Carolina.
As the Fever continue their playoff push in the 2025 season, Aliyah Boston remains at the center of it all—a force in the paint, a face of the franchise, and now, a 1,500-point scorer in the WNBA.
One thing’s for certain: she’s just getting started.
