If there’s anyone who understands the kind of adversity and controversy Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark endured during her rookie season, it’s her teammate Aliyah Boston.
Clark found herself in the crossfire of several media pundits, including WNBA legend Sheryl Swoopes, ESPN’s Pat McAfee, and plenty of others, and on a nightly basis, she got every team’s best shot — sometimes literally.
Clark reflected on her tumultuous, record-breaking rookie season with a heartfelt Instagram post on Wednesday evening in which she expressed gratitude for everyone who played a part in it, which prompted some messages from her teammates, among others.
Boston was among those who commented on Clark’s post, leaving her a glowingly positive message and negating any perception — most of which through speculation on Swoopes’ part — that Clark was a lightning rod in the Fever locker room.
“You deserve it all. Ready for moreee with you,” Boston posted.

After averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, Clark was the Associated Press’ unanimous WNBA Rookie of the Year.
She had a strong showing in the playoffs as well.
Per StatMamba, Clark joined Michael Jordan as the only rookies in NBA/WNBA history to average 18 points, 8.5 assists, five rebounds and two steals per game in their playoff debuts.
Clark was also the only rookie in WNBA history and the youngest-ever player (22 years, 247 days) to have 25 or more points, five or more assists and five or more rebounds in a playoff game.
