Caitlin Clark noticed an Indiana Fever Instagram post highlighting Aliyah Boston‘s defensive highlights, but the video was vertically stretched and hard to follow, making it difficult even for a pro athlete to watch.
The clip, showing Boston blocking shots left and right, had an unusual format that distorted the plays. Fans and players alike struggled to see the action clearly, leaving Clark puzzled about how to view it.
“Respectfully how am I supposed to watch this,” Clark wrote in the comments, to which Boston replied, “gave me the biggest headache,” adding two crying-laughing emojis to show she felt the same strain.

Clark further noted the clip left her with a headache, emphasizing how even elite athletes can be frustrated by technical mishaps. The video’s stretched resolution made Boston‘s moves hard to appreciate fully.
Clark and Boston are two of Indiana’s brightest WNBA stars. Both have won Rookie of the Year, and their presence has made the Fever competitive again as the team made it to the 2025 semifinals, despite an injury-struck campaign.
Boston joined Indiana in 2023, and Clark followed in 2024. Together, they led the Fever to the playoffs in 2024, marking the team’s first postseason appearance since 2016 and signaling a new era for the franchise.
Clark‘s 2025 season was hindered by injuries, limiting her to 13 games, averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 8.8 assists per game. So Boston stepped up and guided the team, along with Kelsey Mitchell, on a deep playoff run.
Kelsey Mitchell keeps her options open amid potential Fever exit
Eight-year veteran Kelsey Mitchell has been a cornerstone of the Fever since 2018. She led the team through highs and lows, including an MVP-level performance in 2025 for an injury-depleted roster.
Mitchell acknowledges the impact of Clark and Boston on the team’s visibility on the Aari and Rachel Unfiltered at Unrivaled podcast.
But whilst she admits that, it’s also true that her future in Indiana is uncertain. Once a new CBA is finalized, Mitchell, like other players, will enter free agency and weigh opportunities outside Indianapolis against her long tenure with the Fever.
“When it was bad, I didn’t really have anyone knocking on my door,” Mitchell said. “Being loyal has a cost and we all know that. Being loyal isn’t always ideal, but when I think back on it, it was worth it.”
Mitchell added, of her future in Indiana: “We’ll see, to be determined.”
