The Indiana Fever prevailed over the Connecticut Sun 99-93 in overtime. Not only was the comeback win a statement to the rest of the WNBA, but it was also a historic outing. Aliyah Boston now holds a record previously owned by Caitlin Clark.
Following the momentum-turning victory in Uncasville, the Fever are returning home with fresh spirits. As for Boston, she is making the flight back to Indianapolis as a new record-holder for the Fever, dethroning none other than Clark.
Boston now holds the record for most double-doubles in a WNBA season for a Fever player. After posting her 15th double-double of the 2025 campaign, Boston took over Clark’s place at the top of the list.
Ground to cover
Clark held the record with 14 double-doubles during the 2024 WNBA season, which was her rookie season. Now, Boston owns that milestone thanks to her 14 point, 13 rebound outing against the Sun. The 23-year-old can stretch the gap even further, as the Fever have nine games remaining in the regular season.

Despite missing Clark for the 12th straight outing, the Fever simply found a way to win. Sophie Cunningham went down with an apparent serious knee injury, and the Fever pushed through it, too.
