$78,831 guard makes feelings known on Aliyah Boston’s courtside presence as Gamecocks fall to Paige Bueckers and Co.

Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston's former Fever teammate, Erica Wheeler, was overjoyed while watching the Gamecocks in action against Paige Bueckers and UConn. Boston was responsible for providing Wheeler with all kinds of entertainment with her courtside gimmicks.

Boston played for the Gamecocks, and it's rare for her to keep her emotions in check whenever she's cheering them on and not on broadcasting duties. Sunday was one such occasion where the Fever center had everyone in splits.

Erica Wheeler, who departed the Fever this offseason and joined the Storm on a $78,831 deal, also joined the Aliyah Boston hype train on X, saying:

"lol I love AB!!! She gone rideeeee or die bout them gamecocks okayyyyyy!!! lol @ABC I need more camera time on AB"

It was a forgettable game for Boston and the Gamecocks as they lost 87-58 at home against Paige Bueckers' UConn in a lopsided battle. Dawn Staley's South Carolina had its 71-game home winning streak snapped. Azzi Fudd did most of the damage with her 28 points, while Bueckers had an all-around outing with 12 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists.

Erica Wheeler clarifies cryptic tweet after leaving Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston's Indiana Fever

Erica Wheeler sent fans into a frenzy after her first comments since leaving Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston's Indiana Fever. Wheeler didn't address the team, but her X post seemingly made it feel like she did.

"Don’t ask for the truth but then you can’t take it!" Wheeler wrote on Saturday.

The comment sparked speculation about her departure from the Fever, where she was a popular figure among the fans. However, the veteran guard posted another tweet on Saturday, hinting that her previous tweet had nothing to do with her Fever tenure.

"Not everything is about basketball. We are normal people outside of basketball! We go thru some the same things yall do! Ever hit your pinky toe on the side of the bed? Lordddyyyyyy!" Wheeler said.

Erica Wheeler was one of the locker room leaders in Indiana as the team's veteran guiding then-rookie sensation Caitlin Clark. She'll now take those talents to the Seattle Storm, where she teams up with Skylar Diggins-Smith and Lexie Brown. The Storm could also potentially draft Olivia Miles in the draft.
