Lexie Hull Says Fever Draw Extra Heat Over Caitlin Clark, Reflects on Bonner’s Exit and Playoff Run

Hull’s Women of the Year profile offers first‑hand context on a turbulent season that ultimately bonded Indiana.

Overview

  • Speaking to Glamour, Hull said opponents target Indiana out of jealousy tied to the attention and crowd support Caitlin Clark attracts, citing locker‑room talk of not letting the Fever win.
  • Hull said DeWanna Bonner’s unexplained midseason departure initially stung but unified the locker room; Bonner was later waived on June 25 before signing with Phoenix.
  • Indiana navigated severe injuries — including Clark limited to 13 games — yet rallied to the semifinals and took the Aces to overtime in a deciding Game 5.
  • Hull described playing through facial injuries late in the regular season to help secure a playoff berth, underscoring her role as a tough, dependable starter.
  • She also noted her position as the Fever’s alternate WNBPA player representative and enters the offseason as a restricted free agent with broader CBA and roster questions looming.
