Aliyah Boston's 5-Word Stance on Lump-Headed Lexie Hull Says It All After Fever Win

However, Hull's impact doesn't always show up on the stat sheet. In fact, it was one impact Hull took to her head that seems to encapsulate what she meant to this team.

Lexie Hull Left With Lump on Head After Collision With Storm Star

Hull was chasing after a loose ball in the paint just a few minutes into Tuesday's game when she collided with Storm All-Star Gabby Williams. Both players were hit in the head and went down right away, clearly in pain. Hull was ultimately helped to the locker room and was questionable to return with a head injury.

However, Hull ultimately did return, which is a testament to her toughness. And she was sporting a gnarly lump on her forehead as a result of the play.

Hull spoke with Brian Haenchen of IndyStar after the game. In Haenchen's video, one can see the massive lump when she was answering questions about it. After saying she didn't know what had happened in the moment and that it was unlucky, Hull was asked whether everybody was staring at her head.

"Yeah. Everyone's like, 'You look beautiful!' And I'm like, 'I know I look insane.' But it honestly looks better than it did when it first happened, so hopefully this goes down quick," Hull responded, per an X post from Haenchen.

She also noted that she could see the lump out of her peripheral vision during the game.

Aliyah Boston Praises 'Tough' Lexie Hull After Fever Win

Aliyah Boston and Odyssey Sims spoke with the media after Tuesday's win. When Boston was asked about Hull and her head, she said, "I feel like Lexie is the definition of tough," per a YouTube video from Tony East.

"When you think of her as a player, the way she hustles, she likes to get loose balls, extra offensive possessions. That's what she does. I mean, she got hit, she came back and just continued to contribute again. She was a pest on defense, just making her presence felt, offensive rebounds," Boston continued.

"That's just who Lexie is."

Boston concluding her praise about Hull with, "That's just who she is," speaks volumes and indicates why Hull is so beloved by the Fever fan base, with and without the lump on her head.
