LAS VEGAS \u2014 In a late addition to the injury report, Fever<\/a> guard Lexie Hull<\/a> is questionable with a back injury for Indiana\u2019s WNBA semifinal Game 2 against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Hull was wearing a heat therapy pad around her lower back during the Fever<\/a>\u2019s shootaround Tuesday morning, but she still participated as normal in the portion of shootaround open to the media.<\/p>\n

Hull has been one of the four players on the Fever\u2019s roster this season to play in every game, even fighting through a hit to the head and two black eyes<\/a> in August. She is averaging 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game as one of Indiana\u2019s best defenders.<\/p>\n

If Hull isn\u2019t able to go on Tuesday night, the Fever would be down to nine available players. Indiana has five players out for the season \u2014 Chloe Bibby<\/a> (left knee), Caitlin Clark<\/a> (right groin), Sydney Colson<\/a> (left ACL), Sophie Cunningham<\/a> (right MCL), and Aari McDonald<\/a> (right foot) \u2014 and Damiris Dantas<\/a> has missed five straight games in concussion protocol.<\/p>\n

No. 6-seed Indiana has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series against No. 2 Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
