Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston underwent arthroscopic surgery Wednesday to repair the lateral meniscus in her right knee, the team announced.

The Fever said Thursday that Boston will begin rehabilitation and that updates will be provided as they become available.

Boston played 40 of the Fever's 44 games in the regular season, averaging 16.1 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists. She appeared in all three playoff games, averaging 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists.

The No. 1 pick in the 2023 WNBA draft and rookie of the year that season, Boston, a four-time All-Star, is signed with Indiana through the 2029 season. The 24-year-old also won a gold medal with Team USA in September at the FIBA Women's World Cup in Germany, playing all six games and averaging 6.2 points and 3.2 rebounds.

Indiana went 28-16 this season, losing its first-round playoff series 2-1 to the Las Vegas Aces.
