Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston took time to celebrate her teammate Caitlin Clark on her 23rd birthday. The duo have developed a close friendship despite competing against each other during their collegiate careers.
Boston has often offered positive words for the 2024 WNBA rookie of the Year. Her special day wasn't going to be the exception, as Boston took to her Instagram Story and sent a heartfelt message to Clark.
"Happy Birthdayyy sistaaa❤️❤️have he best day and year everrrr you deserve it," Boston wrote.
It wasn't the first time Boston and Clark exchanged positive words on social media. On Friday, ahead of Unrivaled's tip off, Boston shared shots from a photoshoot on her Instagram account while writing what she hopes to get from this experience.
"Let’s have some fun :))" Boston captioned.
Clark reacted to the post with a five-word message for her teammate.
"Oooo slay my glorious queen," Clark commented.
The two led the Indiana Fever to their first playoff berth since 2016 alongside Kelsey Mitchell. The pairing worked wonders for the Fever and many expect bigger things from them next season. With Stephanie White taking over as coach, the 2025 WNBA campaign looks promising for Indiana.
Caitlin Clark celebrates birthday with special gift for underprivileged kids
Even though she's the one celerating her special day, Caitlin Clark made sure to bring light to others. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star donated 22,000 brand new children's books that will be distributed by her foundation. With a collaboration with Scholastic, underprivileged children will have access to books in a time when fewer kids are reading.
“Reading and education have always been hugely important in my life,” Clark said in a statement on Wednesday. “I remember picking out the books from the Scholastic flyer and how empowering that was for me as a child, and how motivated I was to read. I want to help kids have the same experience, to develop their reading skills and open their imaginations to dream big.”
Clark isn't playing basketball right now, but she is paying close attention to her beloved Hawkeyes while trying to help others through her foundation.
