In a candid exchange with WNBA legend Candace Parker, Aliyah Boston wasn’t best pleased with the league’s officiating following a call during the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Las Vegas Aces. During a highly physical Indiana Fever matchup against A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces, the officials called a defensive blocking foul, judging that the defender made body contact against Wilson using her hip while sliding laterally rather than establishing a completely legal guarding position.
