Now, Hull, who has been patiently waiting her turn on the bench, has given them a fresh lease on life.Remember the name, Lexie Hull, because Caitlin Clark just made everyone take note. The newest hit from Indiana Fever has been making waves, and Clark has officially jumped on the buzz. With two straight victories following the Olympic break, the Fever were on a high. Now, Hull, who has been patiently waiting her turn on the bench, has given them a new lease on life.

It was Sunday’s showdown against the Seattle Storm that changed everything. The Fever needed a hero, and Hull stepped up, delivering the game of her life. Coming off the bench, she didn’t just play; she exploded onto the scene, torching the net with an insane shooting display. Hull hit 8-of-10 from the field and a jaw-dropping 6-of-7 from beyond the arc, racking up 22 points, a career-high.

Caitlin Clark, who’s been in beast mode since the league resumed, didn’t hesitate to show love for her teammate. After the game, she took to X and declared her newfound fandom, proclaiming, “This is now a Lexie Hull fan account.” Talk about a stamp of approval from one of the league’s rising stars.

Hull’s performance wasn’t just a fluke-every time the Fever needed a bucket, there she was, drilling clutch shot after clutch shot. This wasn’t the Lexie Hull fans had seen earlier in the season; this was a player reborn, someone who looked every bit the part of a star in the making.

From under the radar to center stage: Lexie Hull’s transformation into the Fever’s secret weapon

Before Sunday, Hull’s contributions were modest. The former first-round pick from 2022 had only managed to hit double digits twice this season and had never gone beyond 12 points in a game. Her long-range shooting? It was practically non-existent, with her season-high being a mere two three-pointers. But all that changed in the blink of an eye.
