However, if the Fever do protect her, they&#8217;ll be able to match any offer she received in free agency. And it would be shocking if they didn&#8217;t do so, given how much she has meant to the team in recent years.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5i\">Hull is the type of player every team wants. Blue-collar, gritty, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/fever\/news\/lexie-hull-shares-indiana-fever-squad-black-eye-surprise-01k70m54fxv8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">willing to take damage<\/a> (literally) to help her team win games. Hull will typically defend the opposing team&#8217;s top guard each night, is an excellent three-pointer shooter, and provides a fantastic locker room presence. This last point can&#8217;t be understated, especially because Indiana&#8217;s elite chemistry and camaraderie were clearly a part of what helped them advance to the WNBA Semifinals last season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/01kn0xzk5z2avctaa55s.jpg\" alt=\"Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) celebrates a made basket with guard Lexie Hull \" title=\"Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) celebrates a made basket with guard Lexie Hull \" width=\"2535\" height=\"2535\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"5s\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) celebrates a made basket with guard Lexie Hull  | Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">Superstar guard Caitlin Clark was not on the court for Indiana during that playoff run. Yet, she was still showing her support from the sidelines during every game.

Many of the photos in the collage showed Hull in bikinis, several of which also included her fianc\u00e9e, Will Matthiessen. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6c\">The top comment on the post is from Clark, who simply wrote, &#8220;Hot&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6f\">She followed this up with another comment that read, &#8220;Didn\u2019t know Will also does photography. Amazing news&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6i\">Clark isn&#8217;t the only Fever star to have commented, as Aliyah Boston also wrote, &#8220;Oooooweeeee\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d\ud83d\ude0d&#8221;.
