Lexie Hull arrived in the WNBA<\/a> as the Indiana Fever<\/a>‘s sixth overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft. Now in her fifth season, she has established herself as a key contributor to the team and a valuable member of the franchise’s culture.<\/p>\n

Hull has career averages of 5.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists. In the 2026 season, she’s putting up 5.7 points and 3.4 rebounds.<\/p>\n

As she continues to thrive in the WNBA with the Fever, Hull couldn’t help but look back at her journey. On Friday, she shared several photos of herself taken from the Fever’s media day to celebrate over four years in the league and amid her fifth season.<\/p>\n

“year [five] in the @wnba,” Hull wrote in the caption of her post.<\/p>\n

Several fans and Fever teammates commented on her post, although it was Caitlin Clark<\/a>‘s message that stood out.<\/p>\n

Clark shared her love and admiration for Hull, writing, “Proud of u baby.”<\/p>\n

Clark and Hull have grown close since the former arrived in the WNBA in 2024 as the Fever’s No. 1 overall pick. While they often make fun of each other on social media, they also remain supportive of one another’s careers on and off the court.<\/p>\n

In fact, Hull revealed during the offseason<\/a> that Clark agreed to use her recently launched FORTA cosmetics brand during the 2026 season, highlighting how they try to always uplift each other.<\/p>\n

Aside from Clark, Fever teammates Kelsey Mitchell and Raven Johnson, as well as Clark’s boyfriend Patrick McCaffery commented on the post to cheer on Hull.<\/p>\n

“My sexy lexieeee,” Mitchell wrote, while Johnson said the same thing: “Sexy lexieeeeeeeee.”<\/p>\n

“Champ,” McCaffery added.<\/p>\n
