Indiana Fever center Aliyah Boston exited Monday night's game against the Seattle Storm after sustaining an apparent knee injury during the second half. The injury occurred when Boston fell awkwardly while battling for position in the paint, prompting immediate concern from teammates, coaches, and medical staff.

She was helped off the court and did not return to the game as the Fever later announced she would miss the remainder of the contest because of a knee injury.

Boston, a four-time WNBA All-Star and one of the Indiana Fever's cornerstone players, immediately held her knee after the fall, raising concerns about a significant injury.
