Is Aliyah Boston Playing tonight against Laces BC? Latest on Vinyl star's availability (Feb. 8) | Unrivaled 2025

Vinyl BC star Aliyah Boston will be available to make her seventh appearance on Saturday as her team squares off against the Laces BC. The Indiana Fever forward is not on the injury list and should play when called off the bench. Boston was picked to represent the Vinyl BC during the inaugural season of the 3-on-3 league, Unrivaled, and has been an important part of the squad this term.

Currently fourth in the standings, the Vinyl BC have had a mixed season. Under the stewardship of Dearica Hamby, the team has won two games and lost four and will need to do better if they are to qualify for the latter rounds.

Having started the tournament with two wins in a row, the team has since faltered and hopes to return to winning ways on Saturday. Boston, who has been an integral part of the Fever, has struggled for form in Unrivaled and has played an average of 8.3 minutes per game.

According to the player rankings on the Unrivaled website, Aliyah Boston ranks 32nd for points per game, which is pretty low considering only 36 players are participating. Despite her low returns, Boston is one of the brightest prospects in the league, and with her minutes increasing with each game, she should return to her best soon.
