The Vinyl BC are set to square off against the Lunar Owls in an Unrivaled game on Monday. Aliyah Boston is expected to suit up for the Vinyl in the first of two scheduled matchups for the day.
Boston has featured in all three games for the team so far and isn’t dealing with any injury issues. Thus, barring any unforeseen mishaps before tipoff, she should play.
The Vinyl are third in the standings with a 2-1 record. They started the season with two straight wins before dropping their first game against the Laces on Friday. The Vinyl lost 83-79.
Aliyah Boston didn’t start the game and had the least number of minutes from the bench as well. She played just seven minutes for four points on 2-of-3 shooting. She also added two rebounds and a block.
The Indiana Fever center averages just 9.0 minutes across three games, with averages of 7.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists. Her best performance in the newly formed 3-on-3 league came during an 84-69 win against the Phantom BC on Jan. 20. She came off the bench for 11 points and seven rebounds.
The former No. 1 pick hasn’t had to do much because of the presence of players such as Dearica Hamby, Rhyne Howard and Arike Ogunbowale on her team. However, if called upon, she has the potential to play a much larger role.
Last season with the Fever, she suited up in all 40 games and averaged 14.0 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks. She played in all 40 games of her rookie season as well.
This proves that Aliyah Boston has managed to stay healthy throughout her professional career, and it shouldn’t be a concern heading into Monday’s game as well.
