Congratulations to the Indiana Fever’s Aliyah Boston, the unanimous winner of the 2023 KIA WNBA Rookie of the Year award.
In addition to earning all 60 Rookie of the Year votes, Boston headlines the 2023 WNBA All-Rookie Team, with the Minnesota Lynx’s Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhász, Seattle Storm’s Jordan Horston and Washington Mystics’ Li Meng rounding out the rookie squad honorees.
Boston’s debut season in the W was fabulous, as she was historically efficient—not just for a rookie but for a player of any experience level—as she scored 14.5 points per game on a league-leading 57.8 field goal percentage. She also added 8.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. As a unanimous winner, her name now sits alongside those of Candace Parker (2008), Tina Charles (2010), Elena Delle Donne (2013) and A’ja Wilson (2018). She also joins Tamika Catchings as the second Rookie of the Year in Fever franchise history.
“This is truly just the beginning.”
