Lexie Hull Plays Through Two Black Eyes After Head Clash, Helps Fever Edge Sparks

Medical clearance kept her available during Indiana’s injury-hit guard rotation.

Overview

  • Hull collided head-to-head with Seattle’s Gabby Williams on Aug. 26, briefly exited, then returned and contributed to Indiana’s 95–75 win.
  • She later showed two black eyes in a TikTok video, saying, “I wish this was a filter,” after the initial forehead knot subsided.
  • Team evaluations reported she passed concussion protocol and had no skull or facial fracture, according to local reporting from shootaround.
  • Hull suited up Friday in Los Angeles with the bruising still visible, and the Fever beat the Sparks 76–75.
  • Coach Stephanie White lauded Hull’s toughness and called the original hit “disgusting,” as Indiana navigates backcourt absences that still include Caitlin Clark.
