Lexie Hull's career year just got even better.

The 6-foot-1 guard played in all 44 WNBA regular season games for the Indiana Fever this season. She is averaging career highs in minutes (27.0), points (7.2), rebounds (4.3), assists (1.8) and steals (1.2) this season.

Hull's secured a game-sealing steal in Game 3 of Indiana's first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Dream. It helped book her team a spot in the WNBA semifinals, despite the fact they are missing Caitlin Clark and four other players because of season-ending injuries.

As the Fever prepared for Game 2 of the semifinals against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday, Unrivaled announced that Hull will return to the outside league for a second straight year this offseason.

The announcement is good news for Hull and Fever fans alike. The 26-year-old has spoken previously about the experience she gained while playing for league champion Rose Basketball Club during the 3-on-3 league's inaugural season.

"Basketball wise, the best basketball players in the world are here," Hull told Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files in March. "It's great to get to compete against them every single day. And then also have five others on your team that I haven't had the chance to play with before, but been really grateful to be able to learn and go through this process with them."

On top of the chance to sharpen her skills, the offseason move guarantees Hull six-figure income during the offseason worth more than her 2025 WNBA salary of $88,261 from the Fever.

She joins the list of 2026 participants Unrivaled has announced so far that also includes Paige Bueckers, Brianna Stewart and Alyssa Thomas. For its second season, the league is adding two new teams, creating 48 total roster spots plus a six-player development pool.

Clark did not participate in Unrivaled's inaugural season, but there is still hope she may join for year two alongside her Fever teammate Hull.

"There is no secret who the top players in the world are, and they know we have a spot for them," league president Alex Bazzell told ESPN.
