Aliyah Boston talks Indianapolis’ support for WNBA All-Star Game: ‘I’m not surprised’
‘It was a great weekend.’ Indiana Fever star Aliyah Boston recaps her WNBA All-Star Weekend.
Indiana Pacer Tyrese Haliburton might be taking style cues from WNBA All-Star weekend streaming sensation StudBudz come the 2025-26 NBA season.
On their StudBudz channel on Twitch, Minnesota Lynx teammates Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman live streamed their weekend in Indianapolis, chronicling exploits at clubs and parties, and with interviews with and appearances by Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers and WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Haliburton, who is rehabbing his torn Achilles suffered during the June 22 Game 7 of the NBA Finals, could be seen on a scooter during an encounter with the duo at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and admiring the Budz’ duds.
He told the pink-haired besties he’ll have the time to get the brand plenty of exposure.
“You know I’m (going to) be on the bench all season, so I need some merch,” he told them. “I’ll rock some merch.”
They told him the clothing would be on the way.
Williams and Hiedeman might want to send extra.
John Haliburton was with his son during the Gainbridge meeting and expressed excitement in meeting the StudBudz.
“I’m a fan,” he told them. “I subscribe.”
