Down and out, but still connected – this could be a perfect phrase for the Indiana Fever roster. All five players constantly show their support to the team during games. Lexie Hull recently opened up on devastating injuries to top players and also mentioned how they always message their teammates during the games.
Additionally, Clark attends all the games and never misses a chance to encourage the players on the court and on the bench, too. The injured forward also showed her love and support via her podcast and social media posts. She recently talked about Hull’s ‘black-eye injury’ and lauded her teammate for her gameplay.
