Indiana Fever star Lexie Hull hit back at teammate Caitlin Clark<\/a> for \u201cmaking comments\u201d throughout the WNBA season.<\/p>\n Clark<\/a> has endured a miserable sophomore season derailed by injury. Having impressed and won Rookie of the Year honors in 2024, her 2025 WNBA season was spent largely on the sidelines<\/a>, which was frustrating for fans and teammates alike, even as the Fever went deep into the playoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 23-year-old has missed significant time due to quad and groin injuries, while the Fever lost other key stars such as Sophie Cunningham, Sydney Colson, and Aari McDonald to season-ending injuries. Clark finished averaging 16.5 points per game alongside an impressive 8.8 assists.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Nelly Korda makes huge personal announcement as Caitlin Clark sends message to LPGA Tour star<\/a>READ MORE: Sophie Cunningham breaks silence on joining startup league after WNBA warning<\/a><\/p>\n Hull, meanwhile, put up 7.2 stats with 4.3 rebounds across the 2025 season as the Fever<\/a> reached the WNBA<\/a> semifinals. She has a good relationship with Clark, who often pokes fun at her teammates \u2014 including Hull.<\/p>\n Before the 2025 WNBA season tipped off in May, Clark saw a photo of Hull and Sophie Cunningham and decided to take a shot at the duo. She commented on their media day photo: \u201cLittle less tanning. A little more bball ladies.\u201d<\/p>\n Hull told PEOPLE<\/a> she wants Clark to join her in tanning ahead of the 2026 WNBA season. \u201cShe definitely jokes about it,\u201d Hull said at the Glamour Women of the Year event. While Clark will \u201cmake comments here and there, but it\u2019s all in good fun.\u201d<\/p>\n After Clark\u2019s comment, Hull claimed she and Cunningham hit back at the two-time WNBA All-Star. Hull even added: \u201cShe could probably use a little sun herself!\u201d<\/p>\n Follow us on X<\/a> for the best and latest in sports news<\/p>\n On her relationship with Clark<\/a>, Hull added: \u201cShe\u2019s one of my best friends on the team, and it\u2019s been amazing growing together and chasing the same goals.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cWe just have such a natural connection. We push each other in practice but also have so much fun, it\u2019s a good balance of competitiveness and friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n Both Clark and Cunningham suffered season-ending injuries before the postseason, but the Fever still impressed. Indiana crashed out of the playoffs against the Las Vegas Aces, who went on to win the 2025 WNBA championship.<\/p>\n READ MORE: LSU women’s basketball break 43-year-old NCAA record Kim Mulkey already owned<\/a>READ MORE: Dawn Staley confirms South Carolina schedule decision after losing to Texas<\/a><\/p>\n Meanwhile, off the court, Clark seemingly played a part in Steph Curry\u2019s split with Under Armour<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to WSJ<\/a>, Under Armour reportedly offered Clark a four-year, $16 million contract, Adidas offered $6M over four years, and Puma also expressed an interest but did not officially enter the running after being told that bidding started at $3M. However, in the end, the competition was beaten by Nike, which agreed to an eight-year, $28 million deal for a signature shoe.<\/p>\n The Sports Business Journal<\/a> claims that Under Armour’s unsuccessful pursuit of recruiting Clark to the brand contributed to the Golden State Warriors<\/a> star’s split with the brand. It highlights just how big a star Clark is in basketball, and she will get even bigger if she wins a WNBA championship alongside Hull in 2026.<\/p>\n![\"Lexie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/0_GettyImages-2227287383.jpg\")
