It’s a trying time for the Indiana Fever. Head coach Stephanie White is starting to hear from critics, with the team sitting at 2-4 through six games. It’s hard to blame her for the last two games, though, as star player Caitlin Clark has been out with a quad strain that could keep her out for another week or so. The Fever can’t let their season go to waste just because Clark is out, and some teammates have stepped up in her absence to try to keep the ship upright.
Aliyah Boston, in particular, has been trying to do it all in the two games without Clark. In Clark’s final game before the injury, Boston exploded with 27 points and 13 rebounds. Since then, she has shot 80% from the field while contributing plenty in every statistical category. If it wasn’t for foul trouble, Boston could have had two massive games with Clark sidelined. It’s a trend that has continued since the start of the season.
Caitlin Clark’s eye roll during Fever loss to Sun goes viral
Aliyah Boston has arguably been Indiana Fever’s best player in 2025
In fact, Boston has been outplaying Clark so far this season. The underlying metrics bear that out. Boston’s net rating and PER (player efficiency rating) are the best on the team among those with extensive playing time.
Caitlin Clark and Fever Are Embracing the Pressure!
None of this should be all too surprising for those who have followed Boston’s basketball career to this point. She was a dominant force at South Carolina, where she won an NCAA Championship and was named Tournament MOP in her final collegiate season. She then won the WNBA Rookie of the Year in her first season with the Fever, and has been an All-Star in both of her WNBA seasons to date.
Boston putting it all together in her third season is exactly what the Fever need. Clark being out is never a good thing for Indiana, but if it means that Boston and others can use the increase in on-ball time to their developmental advantage, then there could be some good that comes out of her injury.

River Plate pressiona na segunda etapa, mas fica no empate com Monterrey no Mundial de Clubes; leia análise
Apesar de quase 20 finalizações no jogo, o River Plate-ARG ficou no empate com o Monterrey-MEX, neste sábado, no Rose Bowl, em Los Angeles-EUA, pela segunda rodada do Grupo E da Copa do Mundo de Clubes. A equipe argentina segue na liderança do Grupo E por levar vantagem no saldo de gols sobre a Inter de Milão-ITA. Já a mexicana não depende só de si para avançar às oitavas de final. O primeiro tempo foi marcado por um jogo travado, principalmente no setor central do campo. Foram 21 infrações e três cartões amarelos distribuídos. O Monterrey dominou a posse de bola com 59% e começou mais perigoso: logo aos 5 minutos, Arteaga finalizou com perigo, e aos 13, Canales arriscou um chute forte. Depois disso, a partida caiu de ritmo, com poucas jogadas trabalhadas, muitos desarmes e falta de fluidez […]

Rangers place 1B Jake Burger (oblique) on 10-day injured list
May 25, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Texas Rangers first baseman Jake Burger (21) rounds the bases after hitting a two-run home run against the Chicago White Sox during the second inning at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers placed first baseman Jake Burger on the 10-day injured list on Saturday because of a left oblique strain. In a corresponding move, the Rangers recalled rookie first baseman Justin Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock. Burger, 29, felt tightness on his left side on a swinging strikeout in the seventh inning of the Rangers' 6-2 win in Pittsburgh on Friday night. "I was hopeful going into the scan that it was just some sort of cramp kind of thing," Burger said Saturday. "I think, for me, I've dealt with this in the past, and it's been pretty quick. My […]
