Lexie Hull of the Indiana Fever might have just posted the ultimate “wish-you-were-here” photo series from Hawaii, and naturally, her teammate Caitlin Clark couldn’t resist adding a splash of sass in the comments. Hull, who’s fresh off her best season yet in the WNBA, is taking some time to recharge under the Hawaiian sun with her boyfriend, Will Matthiessen. Her caption? The quintessential “Mahalo,” that perfect blend of gratitude and tropical vibes.
While the scenery was pure paradise, the comment section is where things got even better. Enter Caitlin Clark, the league’s Rookie of the Year and reigning queen of court charisma. Clark, who is never short on words or wit, chimed in with an enthusiastic “Slay guys,” a nod to Hull and Matthiessen’s Insta-ready glow. Short, sassy, and perfectly suited for the occasion—Clark knows how to keep it real both on and off the hardwood.
Meanwhile, Matthiessen added his own comment, playfully nudging Hull with a “Where’s the swing video?” Clearly, there’s some backstory here, and we can only assume it involves an entertaining, possibly viral moment that never made it to the grid.
Hull’s tropical escape comes on the heels of an impressive season. The Stanford alum not only improved her stats across the board—averaging 5.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game—but also posted her best shooting percentages to date. With a career-high 44.1% field goal rate and a jaw-dropping 47.1% from beyond the arc, Hull is leaving her mark on the league. And let’s not forget, she’s joining the Unrivaled League this offseason, promising a bit more excitement for her fans.
The 2024 season was monumental for the Fever, too. For the first time since 2015, the team secured a 20-win season, squeaking into the playoffs with a balanced 20-20 record. Hull and Clark made for an electric duo, and Clark’s numbers tell the story of a rookie season for the ages. Averaging 19.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, and a league-leading 8.4 assists, Clark didn’t just play; she took the WNBA by storm, snagging Rookie of the Year honors and a spot in the All-Star game.
It’s clear that both Hull and Clark are thriving on and off the court, whether they’re lighting up arenas or sparking laughter in the comment section. And if Hull’s Hawaiian adventure serves as any indicator, the Fever will be bringing some seriously good vibes into 2025.
