Adidas Basketball reported that the 2023 WNBA Draft first overall pick, Aliyah Boston, is the newest addition to the brand’s women’s basketball roster.
“We are beyond excited to welcome Aliyah to our Adidas Basketball family. She exudes strength, resilience, versatility, and natural skill that is unmatched. I know she’ll leave a lasting impact on the future of the game, and we are proud to be a part of this moment and support her on her journey to greatness,” said Eric Wise, global general manager, Basketball at Adidas.
Boston, the latest Indiana Fever member, joins fellow basketball athlete and Adidas’ No. 1 draft pick signee, long-time partner Candace Parker, to its list of ambassador athletes.
“Adidas is a brand that continues to grow the game and empowers their athletes on and off the court,” said Boston. “I’m super excited to continue to evolve into the best woman and athlete I can be while dominating on the court and being a role model alongside an incredible roster of hoopers. It’s truly a blessing.”
Boston joins the brand’s women’s pro basketball roster, including Layshia Clarendon, Kahleah Copper, Sophie Cunningham, Chelsea Gray, Betnijah Laney, Angel McCoughtry, Nneka Ogwumike, Chiney Ogwumike, and Erica Wheeler, among others. The collective of basketball royalty includes National Collegiate and World Champions, Players of the Year, and Finals MVPs.
Boston will make her WNBA debut on May 19 as the Indiana Fever face off against the Connecticut Sun.
