Since joining the WNBA as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft, Indiana Fever guards Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull have built a strong relationship.
The two are constantly seen goofing around with each other throughout the season. They have even joined each other for vacation, taking a trip to Mexico during the WNBA's Olympic break last July.
Now, they have entered their second season together, starting off with a 3-4 record. However, Clark has been sidelined for the last three games due to a quad strain.
But, just like in 2024, Hull seems to have more exciting plans for this Summer. On Thursday, she took to social media to announce the start date of her new basketball camp.
"I’m so excited to host my @SimpleTruth4U Basketball Camp this summer!" Hull wrote on Instagram. "We’ll work on all aspects of the game—skills, teamwork, confidence—and of course, HAVE FUN!"
Hull also noted that the event will take place on June 28 at Aletto Family Sports Center in Carmel, Indiana.
Clark, as she often does, was left excited by Hull's new announcement, leaving a response in the comment section.
"Can't wait to attend," Clark said. "Hoping we just do defensive slides all camp."
The camp is open to boys and girls in grades one through eight and costs $125 per participant. Hull will also be giving out memorabilia for each participant, including an autographed souvenir, a camp team photo with Hull and a limited-edition t-shirt.
Through seven games in 2025, Hull is on her way to having the best season of her career. She is averaging 10.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, while leading the WNBA in 3-point percentage at 55.6%.
The Fever will have one game left until Clark can potentially return from injury, with a target date of June 10 against the Atlanta Dream. But for now, the focus will be Saturday's game against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

Lexie Hull News Emerges Before Chicago Sky Game
The Indiana Fever are set to face the Chicago Sky in their next matchup, with all eyes in the WNBA community pointed toward the league rivalry. Indiana is coming off a victory against the Las Vegas Aces, looking to maintain a postseason position in head coach Stephanie White's first season back. The Fever sit at 13-12 on the season, ranked No. 6 in the WNBA. Before they look to defeat the Sky in hopes of earning a win streak, notable news on Indiana Fever star Lexie Hull surfaced online. Hull has officially signed an endorsement deal with Portland Gear, a lifestyle bag and apparel company. "I'm excited to share a major milestone for Portland Gear — we’ve officially signed our first WNBA athlete, @lexiehulll, to an endorsement deal! Lexie isn’t just a rising star with the Indiana Fever; she’s a Pacific Northwest native whose values align with everything our brand and city stand for," posted Lexie Hull and the Portland Gear. Hull is playing in her fourth season with the Indiana Fever. The star guard has posted 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. While Hull is viewed as a role player for the Fever, largely taking a back seat to players like Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, she's widely regarded as one of the best three-point shooters in the WNBA. The Fever guard has posted a 42.5 field goal percentage and a 43.7 three-point percentage this season. Lexie Hull is having a career season with the Indiana Fever. If the season ended today, each of Hull's major statistical averages would count as her career high. She's also making noise outside of the white lines, proving to be a star for the Fever on and off the court. Indiana will face the Chicago Sky on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.
ESPN Predicts Mets-Twins Trade One Week Before Deadline
The New York Mets are a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for first place in the NL East, but their pitching staff is still injury-ravaged despite the recent returns of Sean Manaea and Frankie Montas. Brandon Waddell (hip), Dedniel Nuñez (elbow), Max Kranick (flexor), Paul Blackburn (shoulder), Tylor Megill (elbow), Griffin Canning (Achilles), Drew Smith (elbow), A.J. Minter (lat), Danny Young (elbow), and Christian Scott (elbow) are alll on the Mets' IL. The MLB Trade Deadline is July 31 at 6 p.m. EST, so the front office has one week to add healthy arms from around the league this season. ESPN's David Schoenfield predicted on Thursday that New York would trade for a Minnesota Twins reliever. "One guarantee of the trade deadline: The Mets will add to the bullpen, probably with more than one trade. Though the rotation still ranks fifth in ERA, that was built off a hot start," he wrote. "More importantly, the only Mets starter to complete six innings since June 7 has been David Peterson. As a result, manager Carlos Mendoza has run relievers Reed Garrett, Huascar Brazoban, Jose Butto and Ryne Stanek into the ground. The bullpen had a 2.78 ERA through May, but that figure is over 5.00 since the beginning of June (ranking near the bottom of the majors)." "The Twins have two high-profile relievers in [Jhoan] Duran and [Griffin] Jax, both of whom are under team control through 2027, so they'll be much more expensive than your usual short-term relievers if the Twins decide to trade one or both," he continued. "Duran would be harder to deal -- but bring more in return -- so we'll say Jax will go. Don't be fooled by his 4.09 ERA: He has 68 strikeouts and 12 walks in 44 innings with a 97-mph heater. He's an elite strikeout reliever, the type you want on the mound in October." The Mets are hot despite their injuries, as they're on a four-game winning streak and just swept the Los Angeles Angels. Next up is a road trip against the San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres. New York right-handed pitcher Clay Holmes (8-5, 3.48 ERA) will face Giants right-hander Logan Webb (9-7, 3.08 ERA) on Friday.
Athletics' Nick Kurtz makes MLB history vs. Astros
Athletics rookie first baseman Nick Kurtz already had an impressive start to his career. Kurtz entered Friday having posted a .288/.360/.622 batting line in 265 plate appearances, hitting 19 homers and 17 doubles. Despite making his major league debut on April 23, Kurtz has been the A's most valuable player, leading the team with 2.6 bWAR. He appeared to be on the cusp of becoming the superstar the A's needed to sell the team to the residents of Las Vegas. That performance set the stage for what may have been the most impressive game for any rookie in major league history. Kurtz became the 20th player in MLB history to have a four-home run game and the first rookie to achieve that feat. Kurtz's performance also put the 2025 season into baseball history. Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez had a four-home run game on April 26, making this the third time that there have been two four-homer games in a season. That had happened in 2002 (outfielders Mike Cameron and Shawn Green) and 2017 (utility man Scooter Gennett and left fielder J.D. Martinez). Kurtz did not stop with those four homers. He was 6-6 in the A's 15-3 victory over the Astros, with a double and eight runs batted in. The favorite to win the AL Rookie of the Year award, Kurtz put an emphatic stamp on an already impressive season with his barrage on Friday.
76ers unexpectedly waive veteran guard despite career season
The Sixers are waiving Ricky Council IV, the team announced in a press release. Council signed a four-year, partially guaranteed deal with the Sixers in 2024, which contained a team option for the 2026-27 season. Last season, he averaged 7.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.1 minutes per night — all career-high numbers. Kyle Neubeck of PHLY Sports notes that the timing of the move was unexpected, given that Council’s guarantee date is on Jan. 10, 2026, and the team currently has an open roster spot if they need it to add restricted free agent Quentin Grimes. While Council struggled with his three-point shot last season, he emerged as a reliable depth contributor, playing a team-high 73 games while bringing athleticism and energy from the wing positions.
