In a week filled with social media speculation and heated fan debates, the Indiana Fever have finally spoken — and they’ve made one thing very clear: Lexie Hull is NOT going anywhere.

2025 WNBA Mock Draft: How things have changed after free agency

 Rumors Swirl, Fans React

It all started when a few WNBA fan accounts on X (formerly Twitter) began speculating that Lexie Hull — the 2022 first-round draft pick — could be waived to make room for new roster additions ahead of the 2025 season. With high-profile rookies like Caitlin Clark joining the team, some questioned if Hull’s spot was in jeopardy.

The reaction? Swift and divided.

Some fans pointed to her modest stats from last season as reason for concern. Others, however, rallied in support of Hull, citing her defensive grit, high basketball IQ, and chemistry with the team.

“She’s not flashy, but she’s the kind of player every good team needs,” one Fever fan posted.
“Glue players matter.”

“There are no plans to waive Lexie Hull. She’s an important part of our roster and continues to improve every day. Don’t believe everything you read online.”

The statement also emphasized Hull’s off-the-ball movement, defense, and role in building a team culture around grit and growth — aligning with the franchise’s long-term vision.

Why Lexie Hull Still Matters

Though Hull hasn’t put up eye-popping numbers in her first two seasons, her on-court hustle, perimeter defense, and versatility have quietly made her a reliable role player. And in a Fever squad that’s rapidly evolving, having someone with her work ethic and adaptability could prove crucial.

Plus, with names like Aliyah Boston, NaLyssa Smith, and Caitlin Clark drawing the attention, Hull can thrive in her role without the pressure of being the primary scorer.

 Bigger Than Stats

In an era where highlight reels often overshadow fundamentals, Lexie Hull represents something different — a commitment to the intangibles. And the Fever seem to recognize that.

 

So while the internet might keep spinning its theories, the message from Indiana is loud and clear:
Lexie Hull is part of the plan.
