Aliyah Boston was unable to finish Friday’s game due to what the Indiana Fever called a lower leg injury. She totaled 9 points and four rebounds in 21 minutes. Boston previously injured her lower leg while playing in Unrivaled during the offseason. It’s unclear if this is a reaggravation of the same injury or a separate injury.

Two days after being held without a made field goal for the first time in her career, Boston quickly rebounded from her quiet outing against the Los Angeles Sparks and made her presence felt early against the Washington Mystics.

The three-time All-Star finished with just 4 points on Wednesday in Los Angeles, missing all three of her shot attempts while fouling out, but she eclipsed that total in the first quarter Friday night. Boston made her first shot attempt in the paint off a pass from Caitlin Clark, and followed that up with a wing 3-pointer on the Fever’s next possession.

Diamond League: English wins 800m at Diamond League Shanghai

Published

on

For English, it was a first Diamond League win of his career, having previously won a Diamond League 800m non-league event back in August 2019, when he took victory at the Alexander Stadium in the Muller Grand Prix in Birmingham.

He becomes the first Irish male athlete to win a Diamond League event, joining fellow Irish athletes Ciara Mageean, Rhasidat Adeleke and Sarah Healy in winning events in the elite series.

After the race, English said “it felt great” to win the race against an accomplished field of middle distance runners.

“I wasn’t really thinking about the time. I’m delighted to get the win and to beat those guys in a sprint finish.

“There were parts of that race where I thought they were getting away from me. It was just a matter of hanging on and thankfully I had enough left in that last 50m.”

English had shown good form in recent months, setting two indoor personal bests during the winter.

He broke his own 600m Indoor Irish record with a time of 1:15:80 in January, the first Irish man to break 1:16 in the event.

The two-time European Championships bronze medallist followed that up with a new 800m indoor Irish record, his time of 1:44.23 set in February.

English has also collected one silver and two bronze medals at European Indoor Championships.
