Indiana Fever center Aliyah Boston weighed in on the notorious incident between Caitlin Clark and Alyssa Thomas during a July 8 episode of her "Post Moves" podcast with Candace Parker. "It was a Flagrant 2. That should’ve never been done. You don’t put your hand on someone’s throat and damn-near kick them on the floor. Like, it's a basketball game. What are we doing? So obviously, that was the right call," Boston said.Aliyah Boston and Candace Parker on the Caitlin Clark-Alyssa Thomas incident:AB: “That should’ve never been done.

No foul was initially called, but the league upgraded the foul to a Flagrant 2 after the fact, which resulted in Thomas being suspended for a game and fined $1,000.These comments from Boston came after Parker asserted that she thought the call was corrected upgraded to a flagrant 2.Aliyah Boston Can't Be Blamed for Not Speaking on Caitlin Clark-Alyssa Thomas Incident SoonerSince clips of these comments have been posted on social media, some have asserted that Boston should have spoken about this incident sooner.While this exchange between Clark and Thomas took place two weeks ago at this point, Boston clearly wanted to wait to address it on her own platform, where she can control the narrative, rather than speaking out about it before this. Which is fair for her to want to do. Not to mention that nobody even know this incident took place during the game, as referees and players were in the middle of an ongoing game when it happened. Thomas and Clark were lagging behind the play, which meant that cameras and attention weren't primarily on them when the hand to Clark's throat occurred. Thomas alluded to this afterwards, saying, "no one even knew it happened" when suggesting that the WNBA didn't handle this incident correctly because it was, in her opinion, a "complete accident". It's also worth noting that this podcast episode between Parker and Boston was surely shot at least several days ago and only aired on July 8. Therefore, these comments were actually less than two weeks old. It seems like most members of the women's basketball community want to move on from this incident, given that it happened several weeks ago and that games have continued. But hearing Boston speak about it now is going to add new fuel to the fire and spark more discussion about how Thomas' hand to Clark's throat was handled. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
