With 41 blocks this season, Boston moved into third in franchise history with 140 total throughout her career. Boston also moved into the top five in franchise history in offensive rebounds and defensive rebounds.  

Boston is the first Indiana Fever player since the 2017 season to earn WNBA All-Defensive honors and the fifth overall to do so, joining Tully Bevilaqua (six times), Tamika Catchings (12 times), Katie Douglas (five times) and Briann January (six times).
