See the full story · 1 sourcesAliyah Boston is listed as probable for the Indiana Fever's game Friday vs. the Portland Fire with a right lower leg injury.
Fellow forward Monique Billings (left hip) is listed as probable, as is Caitlin Clark (back). Damiris Dantas (left knee) did not travel with the team and has already been ruled out for both Friday's game in Portland and Sunday's in Minneapolis.
Boston had to be helped off the floor late in the second quarter of Wednesday's 105-95 win over the Seattle Storm after she tripped over Flau’jae Johnson’s foot while pursuing a pass from Caitlin Clark. Boston appeared to land directly on her right knee and was taken to the Fever locker room.
She was listed as questionable for the second half, but did not participate.
Fever coach Stephanie White said it "wasn't really worth the risk" to play Boston after halftime, adding: "We just want to be very conservative and make sure that she's good to go."
Indiana did not hold media availability Thursday.
Boston has been managing a right lower leg injury she suffered in February during Unrivaled and has missed three regular-season games thus far, most recently July 17 vs. the Seattle Storm.
Makayla Timpson started in place of Boston that night, with Billings sliding over and playing primarily at the 5, her natural position.
