Aliyah Boston Will Miss Unrivaled 2027 After Meniscus Surgery

Overview

• Boston underwent arthroscopic repair of a right lateral meniscus on October 14 and is rehabbing with the Indiana Fever’s medical and performance staff with no specific return date.
• Unrivaled announced Wednesday that Boston will not play in its January–March 2027 season and the league expects her back in 2028 under the multi-year deal she signed.
• To fill vacancies, Unrivaled mutually terminated Kate Martin’s contract and signed Isabelle Harrison and Kaitlyn Chen to one-year deals for the 2027 season.
• The knee injury began in February while Boston was playing in Unrivaled, forced her to miss that league’s playoffs and a FIBA qualifying tournament, and she then played through the injury in the 2026 WNBA season while earning an All-Star nod and a career-high scoring mark.
• Medical guidance cited in coverage says meniscus-repair recovery can take up to about three months, which leaves Boston’s availability for early-season events uncertain and will shape offseason decisions for the Fever and Unrivaled.
