Caitlin Clark, star player for the Indiana Fever, recently took a lighthearted jab at her teammate Lexie Hull over a social media post featuring Hull at her alma mater, Stanford University. The humorous exchange reflects the close bond Clark and Hull share, having formed a strong friendship while playing together on the Fever. Their camaraderie has become well-documented, especially through their viral “tres leches” trio outfits alongside teammate Sophie Cunningham.
As Hull prepares for the 2025 offseason as a restricted free agent, she has returned to Stanford, where she shared insights and encouragement with the current women’s basketball team. In her Instagram caption, Clark playfully commented on Hull’s post, stating, “Real inspiring Lexie,” demonstrating their friendly banter.
Despite Clark facing injuries that limited her participation during the 2025 season and playoffs, the Fever made a noteworthy run, just one victory shy of reaching the WNBA finals. In Clark’s absence, Hull shined, stepping up to average career highs of 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game during the regular season. Her performance improved in the playoffs, where she averaged 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in higher minutes on the court.
Hull, now 26, brings a wealth of experience to the team, having been an NCAA champion and a three-time All-Pac 12 selection during her collegiate career at Stanford. She recently shared some wisdom with the current Stanford players, urging them to cherish their time in college basketball. “Enjoy practice, enjoy training tables,” Hull said, emphasizing the importance of the moments spent with teammates.
Meanwhile, Clark is shifting her focus as she enters the offseason, participating in The ANNIKA pro-am golf tournament in Tampa Bay for a second consecutive year. Clark expressed her excitement about joining renowned players like Nelly Korda and Annika Sorenstam, highlighting her enjoyment of the event last year.
This playful interaction and the impressive on-court accomplishments of both players showcase their dedication to the game and their unwavering support for one another, fostering a positive team environment as they prepare for what’s next in their careers.
