Lexie Hull, remember the name—because Caitlin Clark just flipped the script on everyone, and the WNBA has officially been put on high alert. The Indiana Fever’s latest breakout star didn’t just catch Clark’s eye; she sent her into full-on fan mode. That’s right, folks, Caitlin Clark is now a card-carrying member of the Lexie Hull Fan Club, and after Sunday’s game, who could blame her?
Let’s rewind a bit. Hull was practically invisible on the Fever’s bench for most of the season—a first-round pick in 2022 who was barely making a ripple in the WNBA pond. But all that changed faster than you can say “sixth woman of the year” during the Fever’s clash against the Seattle Storm. The Fever were desperate for a spark, a hero, or heck, even a miracle—and Lexie Hull decided it was time to deliver all three.
Picture this: The Fever, fresh off two wins since the Olympic break, needed someone to step up. Enter Hull, stage left, who lit up the court like it was the Fourth of July. Hull didn’t just make a cameo; she owned the spotlight, going 8-for-10 from the field and a ridiculous 6-for-7 from beyond the arc. Twenty-two points later, a career-high for Hull, the Fever walked off the court with a win, and a star was born.
Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s resident beast mode aficionado, was quick to hop on X (formerly Twitter, for those of you still in denial) to give Hull the ultimate shout-out: “This is now a Lexie Hull fan account.” You know you’ve arrived when Caitlin Clark—she of record-breaking assist fame—throws her weight behind you.
But let’s be real—Hull’s performance was more than just a hot hand or a lucky night. She was everywhere the Fever needed her to be, sinking clutch shots like she was born for it. And this wasn’t the Hull we saw earlier in the season, either. No, this was the new and improved, fully upgraded Lexie Hull, version 2.0. We’re talking about a player who has gone from a blink-and-you-miss-her benchwarmer to the Fever’s new secret weapon.
Before this game, Hull’s contributions were, let’s say, modest at best. Double digits? Twice, maybe. Three-pointers? You’d have better luck finding a unicorn. But on Sunday, she unleashed her inner flamethrower, and the net didn’t stand a chance.
So, who is Lexie Hull? She’s the player you never knew you needed to watch, but now you won’t be able to look away. The Fever might have just found their missing piece, and with Hull on fire, the rest of the WNBA better start paying attention—or risk getting burned.
In short, Lexie Hull has arrived, and with Caitlin Clark’s stamp of approval, the Fever’s future just got a whole lot brighter. Buckle up, WNBA—this ride is just getting started.
