Bold headline: Caitlin Clark Sends Heartfelt Birthday Wishes to Aliyah Edwards as Fever Star Celebrates a Special Day
Caitlin Clark took a moment to celebrate Aliyah Boston’s 24th birthday with warmth and camaraderie, sharing a personalized message and a pair of snapshots from their days on the court. The Indiana Fever standout posted a birthday tribute to her teammate on social media, including a collage of images that captured their on-court moments and a tender moment on the bench.
In one frame, Clark and Boston share a defining on-court moment, accompanied by Clark’s simple birthday caption: “Happy Bday!!!!! love you @aliyah.boston.” Another image shows the two sharing a wholesome hug on the bench, underscoring the close bond between the Fever teammates. Clark added, “excited to be back out there w ya 💞,” signaling both their friendship and their shared passion for the game.
Boston and Clark are among 17 players invited to Team USA’s training camp ahead of next year’s FIBA World Cup. The camp will run December 12–14 at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, with the broader goal of preparing the roster for international competition.
The two have not shared the court since July 15, when Clark left a Connecticut Sun game early due to a groin injury. Their reunion at the training camp is highly anticipated as both players look to refine their games and strengthen their team chemistry.
Boston recently described her pre-camp excitement on her podcast, noting she’s eager to reconnect with Clark and to gauge her own readiness ahead of the 3x3 league season in January. She recalled crossing paths with Clark and exchanging enthusiastic messages about seeing each other soon, reflecting the strong personal and professional bond that exists between the teammates.
Clark has indicated through her recent remarks that she intends to join training camp as she works toward a comeback from injury. While several players pursue other opportunities with events like Unrivaled and Project B, Clark’s primary focus remains on regaining peak health and contributing to her team’s success.
Last season, Clark appeared in 13 games before an injury sidelined her for the majority of the schedule. Despite her absence, the Fever advanced to the WNBA semifinals, ultimately falling to the Las Vegas Aces in a decisive Game 5.
