Lexie Hull has been shaping up well for the Indiana Fever. With Stephanie White bringing in grim Caitlin Clark news, someone had to step up. And thankfully, White had plenty of her girls to cover for Clark. While the likes of Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell are taking the spotlight, Hull has been a resilient warrior. And in order to prove the point, broadcasters came up with a unique coincidence in their recent game.
Hull has been making the news lately. Not for her on-court activities, though. But for her brutal injury that she suffered while colliding with Gabby Williams. Sporting two black eyes, the tough Fever star had an unexpected moment on camera.
Lexie Hull Gets Her Injury Highlighted In An Unexpected Manner
The Indiana Fever squared off against the Los Angeles Sparks in a closely contested game. While the Fever did well to edge out Los Angeles 76-75, one particular moment became viral on the internet. It happened with 8:24 still to go in the second quarter. The clip initially showed Odyssey Sims and Natasha Howard chatting between themselves. Right at that moment, the commentators chimed in with a phrase that felt quite out of place.
“That was a stiff arm if I’ve ever seen one. Now that college football is kicking off this weekend,” said the ION commentators. Well, they were referring to a moment when Rickea Jackson dangerously shoved her hand across Sims’ face. And immediately after, as if by coincidence, the camera cut to Hull’s face.

Hull could be seen with two black eyes. Realizing Hull’s presence on the broadcast, the commentators added, “and there’s Lexie Hull. You could see both of her eyes – contact with Gabby Williams in Seattle in the first quarter.” Surely, things have been going a bit rough for the 25-year-old. Before running into Thomas, Lexie Hull took a hit. It prompted her teammate Aliyah Boston’s reaction after the painful hit from Kalya McBride. Meanwhile, as the clip of Hull went viral, fans took to the comments section to express their point of view.
