Indiana Fever star center Aliyah Boston made WNBA history with her record-setting contract extension.

The Fever signed Boston to a four-year, $6.3 million contract extension on Friday, according to ESPN. Boston’s contract is the largest total value in WNBA history.

Boston’s contract is also the first time the Exceptional Performance on Initial Contract (EPIC) provision has been used. The EPIC provision allows teams the ability to extend contracts of qualifying players on rookie deals.

To qualify for the provision, players must be selected to the All-WNBA first or second team or be named the league MVP during their first three seasons. Boston was named the All-WNBA second team last season, making her eligible.

"I’m super blessed and grateful for this opportunity and to continue my journey here with the Fever. God is good!" Boston said in a statement. "I’m excited for the future ahead for both myself and for our team, and I can’t wait to keep building upon everything we have accomplished so far."

Boston, alongside superstar Caitlin Clark, is a pillar for the Fever to build around. The Fever selected her with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft out of South Carolina, and Boston made an instant impact.
