The Indiana Fever finished the 2025 WNBA season with a 24-20 record.

They also went on to reach the semifinals of the playoffs before losing to the eventual WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces.

Through all the season-ending injuries, which included ones to Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham and several others, the Fever still managed to find themselves one game away from the finals.

Some of the success this past season can be credited to guard Lexie Hull. She averaged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.

Hull recently sat down for a conversation with Emily Tannenbaum of Glamour Magazine and spoke about playing for the Fever.

She revealed there’s a level of jealousy from other teams toward the Fever.

"I think there is a level of jealousy when it comes to the Fever, just because of the media attention and the fans that have shown up for us ever since Caitlin got here," Hull said. "We’ve heard people and players and teams talking in their locker room about, 'We can’t let the Fever win.'"

Since Clark joined the team, attention surrounding the Fever has skyrocketed compared to the rest of the WNBA. Fans simply want to watch the show that Clark provides on a nightly basis.

The Fever will look to build upon their playoff run and surround Clark with an even better supporting cast while hoping their superstar will have a much healthier third season in the WNBA in 2026.
