It’s Halloween, and while most of us were getting into our spooky best, Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull decided to embrace her true self—a coffee cup. Yes, you read that right, folks. While her teammates were out there donning traditional Halloween attire, Hull had something a bit more caffeinated in mind.
In a quirky and perfectly on-brand move, Hull gave a four-word shoutout to none other than Starbucks, tagging the $110 billion coffee behemoth on Instagram with a message that can only be described as… well, an accurate portrayal of most of our morning selves: “I’m your biggest fan.”
In the background of the Indiana Fever’s team Halloween post, Hull was spotted dressed as a giant cup of coffee (probably a venti, knowing her dedication). You’ve got to hand it to her—when you love something, you go all in, and Hull’s love for Starbucks is about as subtle as their Pumpkin Spice Latte rollout.
Lexie Hull’s Rise, Powered by Coffee?
Since being drafted in the top-10 by the Fever in 2022, Hull has become a solid two-way player for the team, shooting an impressive 47.1% from beyond the arc this season. Maybe that accuracy comes from an endless supply of caffeine? One could argue Starbucks should just sponsor her outright at this point—though, let’s be honest, they probably don’t need the extra marketing.
Team Fever: Young, Fun, and a Little Too Obsessed with Coffee?
Hull wasn’t the only one getting into the spirit. Teammates like Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell also popped up in the Fever’s Halloween post. And while their costumes didn’t quite match Hull’s caffeine-fueled enthusiasm, it’s clear this young squad is brewing (pun fully intended) some strong team chemistry. After an eight-year playoff drought, the Fever’s young core finally got the team back into postseason action—and if you ask Hull, maybe coffee had a hand in that, too.
Hull on Clark: “She Changed the Game for Us”
Speaking of teammates, Hull also took a moment recently to reflect on the Indiana Fever’s sudden surge in popularity, thanks in no small part to WNBA phenom Caitlin Clark. In a recent appearance on The Ringer’s WNBA Show podcast, Hull couldn’t help but gush about the impact Clark has had on the team.
“Once we found out we had the No. 1 pick, and once Caitlin declared, that kind of changed things for the city a little bit,” Hull said. And by “a little bit,” she means the Fever went from crickets to full-on frenzy. Fans were suddenly excited to support a team that hadn’t seen much success in nearly a decade, and with Clark in the mix, the Fever finally had something to buzz about.
Off the court, Clark and Hull have become inseparable, a dynamic duo both on TikTok (because, of course) and at the golf course, where they test their skills—and, most likely, their patience. Because nothing screams friendship like missing a three-foot putt in front of your teammate.
Coffee, Playoffs, and What’s Next for the Fever?
As the Fever look to keep climbing the WNBA ranks, their young squad is building something special. And while it remains to be seen if Starbucks will respond to Hull’s “I’m your biggest fan” shoutout (don’t hold your breath, Lexie), the Fever guard’s playful nod to the coffee giant shows just how much fun this team is having.
So, what’s next for the Indiana Fever? More playoff pushes? New sponsorship deals for Hull? A TikTok collab with Caitlin Clark and a Starbucks barista? Stay tuned—because whatever happens, it’s bound to be as unpredictable and caffeinated as Lexie Hull herself.
