Indiana opened the weekend by securing Aliyah Boston through 2029 and bringing Caitlin Clark into camp with a healthier roster around her. (espn.com) (fever.wnba.com) Boston agreed to a four-year, $6.3 million extension, and the Fever said the new deal runs through the 2029 WNBA season. Indiana’s team site said Boston is the first player to sign under the league’s Exceptional Performance on Initial Contract, or EPIC, provision. (espn.com) (fever.wnba.com) Boston averaged 15.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 2025, all cited by ESPN as part of the extension report. She is 24 and was the No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA draft. (espn.com 1) (espn.com 2) Clark’s return is the other part of Indiana’s spring reset after injuries limited her to 13 games in 2025. The Fever announced on Sept. 4, 2025 that she would miss the rest of that season after a right groin injury on July 15 and a later bone bruise during recovery. (fever.wnba.com) (espn.com) Coach Stephanie White said this week that Indiana plans to be careful with Clark in camp, according to reports carried by Yahoo Sports and Heavy. Yahoo’s pickup of an Athlon Sports report said White discussed Clark building back after the setbacks that shaped her 2025 season. (sports.yahoo.com) (heavy.com) Indiana still reached the 2025 semifinals without Clark, beating Atlanta 87-85 in Game 3 of the first round on Boston’s late basket. The Fever then pushed Las Vegas to five games before losing 107-98 in overtime in Game 5. (wnba.com 1) (wnba.com 2) The calendar now turns quickly. The Fever announced in January that they open preseason play at New York on April 25 and host Dallas on April 30, after camp begins on April 19. (fever.wnba.com) (sports.yahoo.com) Indiana’s 2026 roster page lists Boston, Clark and Kelsey Mitchell among the returning core, with Stephanie White back as head coach and Amber Cox as general manager. After a semifinal run in 2025, the Fever are entering camp with their starting center under contract long term and their star guard back on the floor. (wnba.com) (fever.wnba.com)
