Aliyah Boston drops 3-word reaction after WNBA player joins Australia's Geelong Supercats

Aliyah Boston reacted to WNBA player Haley Jones signing with the Geelong Supercats in Australia. Jones is among the many players moving overseas during the offseason to remain active and earn more money. She is still under contract with the Atlanta Dream until the 2026 season.

In an Instagram post, Jones shared her first photos as a member of the Supercats in the WNBL. It's her first season overseas since getting drafted sixth overall by the Dream in 2023, the same class as Boston. She played college basketball for the Stanford Cardinal from 2019 to 2023.

"First season down under💙," Jones wrote.

According to Yahoo! Sports, Aliyah Boston and Haley Jones have been great friends since 2017. They were part of Team USA for the FIBA Under-16 World Cup, with Boston among the stars of the team, while Jones served as an alternate. They formed a great relationship there along with Fran Belibi.

Boston went to South Carolina, with Jones and Belibi teaming up at Stanford. The separation didn't change their relationship, and when Stanford beat South Carolina in the 2021 Final Four, the duo consoled their friend after the game.

"We have so much love for each other," Jones said. "And so much respect. … She had a great game, we matched each other's energy tonight. And so after the game, it was just respect and love for her. You never want to see your friend hurting."

Boston was drafted No. 1 by the Indiana Fever two years later in 2023, while Jones went sixth. Belibi, meanwhile, decided to pursue a master's degree in education.
