Fever player provides inside information on Caitlin Clark-Stephanie White issue

Indiana Fever: Lexie Hull speaks out on the Caitlin Clark-Stephanie White issue

The biggest margin during the Fever-Fire game was 26 points, in favor of Portland. Tensions ran high throughout the game, especially between Indiana star Clark and Coach White.

They were caught in a heated exchange during a timeout. They were down 21 at that point, and Clark was struggling with foul trouble. White then pointed at Clark’s seat and instructed rookie Raven Johnson to sit there, replacing the Fever star.

In an interview with Yahoo Sports, Lexie Hull addresses what happened during the back-and-forth. She provided some inside information on the much-talked-about issue. 

“Yeah, I mean, I think it’s just frustration,” said Hull. “We noticed they were trying to pick on Caitlin a little bit on defense, and she was getting called for some fouls. Fouls aren’t fun.”

Hull then discussed their struggles with fouls during the game.

“She got into some foul trouble,” Hull said of Clark. “Our team got into some foul trouble. That’s really all it was.”

The 6-foot-2 forward then reiterated that the frustration is just part of the game.

“Ultimately, this wasn’t something that carried on. That’s just something that happened.” Hull said. 

“Unfortunately, Caitlin’s got a camera on her 24/7, so you see every little thing. This happens almost every day in women’s basketball, so it’s not something we’re worried about at all.”

The Fever is in the midst of a five-day break to relax and recover. Their next game is at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where they host Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.
