Move over, Caitlin Clark—there’s a new sheriff in Fever town, and her name is Lexie Hull. Remember it, because if you blink, you might miss her lighting up the WNBA faster than you can say “three-pointer.”
In a story straight out of a sports movie, Hull went from warming the bench to setting it on fire with a career-high performance that had everyone—and I mean everyone—taking notice. It all went down in Sunday’s smackdown against the Seattle Storm, where the Indiana Fever were desperately in need of a hero. Enter Lexie Hull, the player who decided it was high time to give the term “off the bench” a whole new meaning.
Hull’s stat line wasn’t just impressive; it was downright jaw-dropping. She went 8-for-10 from the field and a ridiculous 6-for-7 from beyond the arc, racking up 22 points and leaving fans, players, and even the referees wondering if they’d just witnessed the second coming of Steph Curry—in a Fever jersey, no less.
Caitlin Clark, the WNBA’s current queen bee, didn’t just notice Hull’s explosive entry onto the scene—she practically rolled out the red carpet. Clark, who’s been torching defenses like it’s her day job, took to social media faster than you can say “triple-double” and declared, “This is now a Lexie Hull fan account.” When the league’s rising star co-signs your game, you know you’ve arrived.
But let’s rewind for a moment. Just who is this Lexie Hull, and how did she suddenly go from being a benchwarmer to the hottest thing on hardwood? Before Sunday, Hull’s season highlight reel was about as short as a TikTok video. The 2022 first-round pick had only hit double digits twice, and her long-range shooting? Let’s just say that up until now, “long-range” might as well have been a Wi-Fi signal, not a basketball term.
Then, in the blink of an eye—and maybe a quick sip of Gatorade—Hull flipped the script. Every time the Fever needed a clutch bucket, there she was, nailing shots like she’d been doing it her whole life. Who knew? Certainly not the Seattle Storm, who were left looking like they’d been hit by, well, a storm.
With her newfound status as the Fever’s not-so-secret weapon, Hull has put the entire league on notice. This isn’t the same Lexie Hull who had fans squinting at their programs trying to figure out who she was. This is a player reborn, someone who’s not just aiming to stay in the game but to change it.
And with Caitlin Clark’s public endorsement, Hull’s star isn’t just rising—it’s blazing. If she keeps this up, the Fever might have just found the final piece of their puzzle, and the rest of the WNBA better start paying attention. Hull’s breakout wasn’t a fluke; it was a declaration. The Fever have something special brewing, and with Hull turning up the heat, it’s going to be one heck of a show.
So, who is Lexie Hull? She’s the underdog story you didn’t know you needed, but now you won’t be able to look away. And trust us—Caitlin Clark isn’t the only one who’s obsessed
