Indiana Fever's Aliyah Boston Seeks Major WNBA Challenge Rule Change

The Indiana Fever currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the WNBA with a 21-20 record, narrowly ahead of the Los Angeles Sparks. Star player Caitlin Clark has missed the majority of the season due to a right groin injury, limiting her to 13 games, which has challenged the team's consistency and playoff hopes. Aliyah Boston has stepped up as the team's leader, averaging over 15 points per game and advocating for a rule change to allow unlimited coach challenges as long as they continue winning them, aiming to reduce the impact of questionable calls. Despite injuries to key players including Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Aari McDonald, and Sydney Colson, the Fever remain competitive, with Kelsey Mitchell also contributing significantly. The team’s camaraderie, particularly the supportive relationship between Boston and Clark, has been a notable positive throughout the season. As the regular season concludes, the Fever face the pressure of maintaining their playoff position while hoping for Clark's return to bolster their postseason chances.
