That’s a moment no athlete should have to face. Recently, one of basketball’s brightest stars, Caitlin Clark, became the victim of a chilling stalking incident. It’s unnerving for many to think of such an invasion of privacy. Clark’s Indiana Fever teammate, a 2x WNBA All-Star, didn’t hold back her thoughts on the matter. “It was super scary,” she said, calling for better safety measures not only for CC but for all professional athletes living in the spotlight.
Aliyah Boston, speaking on ‘In Case You Missed It with Khristina Williams,’ opened up about the emotional impact of the incident. “Yeah, that was super, super scary,” she said. “But especially with social media nowadays, people just try to find their way and try to continue to speak. And obviously, that can get to a different level, like it did with Caitlin” Boston highlighted.
However, this incident has been a wake-up call for Caitlin Clark, as well as organizations like the Indiana Fever and Unrivaled League, making changes when it comes to player safety. Boston emphasized, “I think about the Indiana Fever and the people surrounding us here at Unrivaled. They have taken precautions, made sure that everyone is safe, and ensured that everyone is covered. If you have any problems, you’re able to reach out.”

As Boston put it, “You want to do your everyday thing; you want to live your everyday life. But you also have to make sure that you’re keeping an eye on what you’re doing. While also not being afraid to say, ‘Hey, I don’t really like this. Someone kind of said something weird to me.’ It’s important to be able to tell those you trust.” Trying to enjoy life while constantly staying on guard is a tough balance, but Boston’s words represent the reality many athletes live every day.
The incident was scary, but Boston didn’t let it get in the way of the excitement she has at playing on the court alongside Caitlin Clark. Their chemistry is undeniable and Boston is proud the pair are only scratching the surface of what they can achieve. “I feel like there’s no ceiling when it comes to us and the Fever franchise,” she shared.
