After the expansion draft, teams are pouncing on free agents to build rosters. Every franchise’s first priority is star performers within its team, and the Indiana Fever is also following suit with their latest offer to the 2025 season’s ‘clutch’ player Lexie Hull.
Fans slammed the Fever front office with Chloe Bibby’s departure in the expansion draft, but the franchise is now looking to bring its stars back for the next season with competitive offers on the table.
Indiana Fever Makes Offer To Lexie Hull
Ahead of the 2026 season, Caitlin Clark spoke about her aim to win the title and added that the franchise’s priority signing will be Kelsey Mitchell. While the reports suggest that GM Amber Cox and co have already taken steps to add Mitchell to the lineup, they are also making efforts for the former Stanford star.
Per the update, the Indiana Fever have issued a core qualifying offer to Kelsey Mitchell and a restricted qualifying offer to Lexie Hull. This decision makes Mitchell a supermax player on the roster in exchange for exclusive negotiating rights and makes Hull a restricted free agent.
