Caitlin Clark Sends Message to Lexie Hull on Wednesday

Part of that has included forming meaningful relationships inside the locker room, and few have been more visible than her bond with teammate Lexie Hull. The two have regularly expressed appreciation for one another, both publicly and privately, becoming one of the Fever’s most recognizable friendships.

On Wednesday, Clark made another public gesture, reposting a photo of herself and Hull on Instagram and adding the caption, “ily” — widely understood as “I love you.”

Clark’s message comes as Hull’s future with the Fever remains unclear. After the 2025 season, Hull became a free agent and is now weighing her next steps, although all signs seem to point to Indiana bringing her back.

Drafted sixth overall by the Fever in 2022, the 26-year-old delivered one of the strongest seasons of her career in 2025, averaging 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game while playing all 44 regular-season contests. She elevated her play in the postseason, averaging 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in eight games during the Fever’s run to the WNBA playoffs semi-final.

Given Hull’s value and her chemistry with Clark – on the floor and in the locker room – that relationship could factor into Indiana’s offseason decisions. As the Fever look to build long-term stability around Clark, retaining trusted pieces like Hull may become a priority.
