Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, a close friend and teammate of superstar Caitlin Clark, has decided to sign a multi-year contract extension to remain with the team. Hull, who was a key contributor last season despite the Fever being ravaged by injuries, had drawn interest from other WNBA teams as a free agent but ultimately chose to stay in Indianapolis.

Why it matters

Keeping Hull, a valuable depth player and hustle specialist, is an important move for the Fever as they look to build around Clark and return to championship contention next season. With a healthy Clark, Cunningham, and Colson, plus the addition of free agent Monique Billings, the Fever could be a formidable team in the WNBA.

The details

Hull, who logged career highs in scoring, rebounding, assists, and steals last season, was a hot commodity on the free agent market. However, after weighing several options, she decided to stay with the Fever, announcing the news in a TikTok video with Clark. The two have been close friends since Clark was drafted by Indiana in 2024.

  • Hull played all 34 games for the Fever in the 2025 season.
  • Hull announced her contract extension on April 11, 2026.
