Lexie Hull Plays Through Black Eyes for Injury-Thinned Fever

Coach Stephanie White cites Hull’s toughness after a head clash left bruising without a concussion.

Overview

  • Hull posted a TikTok showing dark marks under her eyes from a hematoma after a head-on collision with the Storm’s Gabby Williams, noting she was cleared to play.
  • Team staff ruled out a concussion, and Hull returned to that game before continuing to start for Indiana.
  • In a 76-75 win over the Sparks, Hull logged 27 minutes with five points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks.
  • White praised Hull as “tough as nails” as Indiana leans on her with multiple backcourt injuries, including Caitlin Clark sidelined and Sophie Cunningham out for the season.
  • Hull’s mother said she was surprised by Lexie’s rare on-court confrontation with Jacy Sheldon, and Hull was reported to have received the first technical foul of her career while on the bench versus the Sparks.
