Fever`s Lexie Hull says there`s some `level of jealousy` when it comes to her team
Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull was among those who were honored as part of Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year.
Hull joined the Fever in 2022 after a standout collegiate career at Stanford. Тя беше определена под общ номер 6 в плана за 2022 година She didn’t receive starting minutes right away, only averaging about 12.8 per game in her rookie season.

Когато тя растеше като състезател, минутите на Хъл се увеличаваха. Индиана избра Кейтлин Кларк с най-хубавия избор през 2024 година и нейната роля в нахлуване стартира да се усилва. She received Sixth Woman of the Year votes in 2024 and then averaged a career high 7.2 points per game in 2025. She started 30 of the 44 games she appeared in under head coach Stephanie White.
Hull has been a part of the Clark experience and the increased support and spotlight the Fever have received since the WNBA star entered the league.

Indiana has also been a part of some of the more intense matchups in the league since the Сезон 2024 година Играчите на Fever Caitlin Clark и Sophie Cunningham бяха част от напечените моменти против Connecticut Sun. Hull told Glamour she felt like the team has a bit of a target on their backs.
" I think there is a level of jealousy when it comes to the Fever, just because of the media attention and the fans that have shown up for us ever since Caitlin got here, " she said. " We’ve heard people and players and teams talking in their locker room about, ‘We can’t let the Fever win.’ "
Hull suggested those assertions weren’t necessarily a bad thing.

" If you have extra motivation to beat us because of something out of our control, that’s fine, if that’s what it takes for you guys to come and try extra hard, " she added. " I think a little bit of that is needed across the league … Everyone should feel like they’re getting everyone else’s best, and I do feel like we get everyone else’s best. "
Hull is set to enter her fourth season with the Fever. WNBA и нейният профсъюз на играчите се надяват да договарят за нов групов трудов контракт. The current deal runs out later this week.
