The 24-year-old forward had an outstanding season in the 3-on-3 basketball league, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors just one day before the injury announcement. Boston posted impressive numbers throughout the season, scoring 18.9 points per game while pulling down 9.7 rebounds and recording 2.1 blocks across 14 contests. Her stellar performance also earned her a spot on the league’s second-team all-star roster.
Boston’s team, Phantom BC, enters the playoffs as the number one seed with an 11-3 record. They’re scheduled to take on sixth-seeded Vinyl, who finished 5-9, in Monday’s semifinal matchup in Brooklyn, New York. The victorious team will advance to Wednesday evening’s championship contest.
