Stephanie White couldn’t believe her eyes. Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull have been grinding in the gym, pushing their limits in an intense training session that has fans buzzing. With the 2025 WNBA season on the horizon, this dynamic duo is putting in the work to take the Indiana Fever to the next level. But what did White see that left her absolutely stunned? And could this be the key to Lexie earning more playing time? Let’s break it all down.
It’s no secret that Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull developed a strong bond during Clark’s rookie season. However, after the offseason, fans hadn’t seen much of them together—until now. Clark, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight during the WNBA offseason, has been quietly working on her game behind the scenes. Meanwhile, Hull recently won the first-ever Unrivaled Championship with her Rose BC team. Their determination has only grown stronger, and now, with less than two months until the new season, Fever players are back in the lab, sharpening their skills and setting their sights on making a deep playoff run in 2025.
The Fever made major moves in the offseason, adding multiple veteran players with championship experience. Fans are thrilled about the team’s new roster, but excitement reached another level when footage surfaced of Clark and Hull’s intense offseason workouts. Videos from their training sessions have gone viral, showcasing their relentless grind in the gym.
Fever fans could hardly contain their excitement, and neither could head coach Stephanie White. White was stunned by every aspect of Clark and Hull’s training. She spoke about how impressed she was when the duo first started working together, emphasizing how much they improved throughout the season.
“The combination of Caitlin and Lexie is one of the best,” White said. “They do so many things well together, and you could see the difference from the beginning of last season to the end. They just kept getting better.”
The former Connecticut Sun head coach also highlighted how coachable both players are, praising their strong desire to improve and their willingness to be pushed beyond their comfort zones. As the training videos gained traction, fans chimed in with their thoughts:
“Lexie is getting serious after her Florida vacation.”
“Been waiting for this to drop! If LH can confidently take the shot, she’ll be a force to be reckoned with—especially alongside CC and KM.”
“That’s why CC is on another level. She lives in the gym!”
“We are so back.”
Despite Clark’s dominance, the Fever’s late-season success in 2024 wasn’t just about her individual greatness. Indiana’s role players stepped up in a major way, and Hull was no exception. After spending four years at Stanford—where she helped lead the team to a 2021 championship—Hull gradually established herself as one of the best shooters in the league. By the end of last season, she became a key piece of the Fever roster alongside Clark.
Even Clark has sung Hull’s praises, stating after a game last season: “That’s kind of my role—to make an impact defensively. I know I was undersized against DB, but I just tried to be as active as possible and get my hands on as many balls as I could.”
Hull’s hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. While her playing time took a hit after Clark’s arrival, she remained an integral part of the Fever’s team culture. Since the Olympic break, Hull has led the WNBA in three-point shooting percentage, further proving her value to the squad.
During the offseason, Hull took her game to another level by competing in Unrivaled with Rose Basketball Club. In 14 games, she averaged 6.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 11.5 minutes per game. Her efforts helped Rose BC win the inaugural Unrivaled Championship, earning her well-deserved recognition.
Now, heading into 2025, the biggest question remains: Where does Lexie Hull fit into this new-look Fever team? With stars like Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aaliyah Boston all capable of scoring 30 points on any given night, Hull’s role won’t be defined by points alone. Instead, her defensive grit and ability to stretch the floor will be crucial for Indiana’s success.
Coach White acknowledged that while the team still has a lot of growth ahead, many of the pieces are in place for the Fever to compete for their second WNBA championship.
“This is home,” White said. “The Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers franchise is in my DNA. I grew up here, played here, and was part of the Fever when we won the WNBA championship. But beyond that, this young and exciting roster is what really excites me. Caitlin Clark is a generational player, Aaliyah Boston is coming off a Rookie of the Year campaign, and Kelsey Mitchell had the best season of her career. This team is ready.”
