Lexie Hull has become an unexpected highlight of the WNBA semifinals following Indiana Fever’s stunning 89-73 upset against the defending champions, the Las Vegas Aces, in Game 1 of their best-of-five series. Hull’s contribution on court may have seemed modest with six points, two rebounds, and two assists, yet her impact was substantial, as evidenced by possessing the highest plus/minus rating on her team.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t just Hull’s play that garnered attention. Her striking physical condition, particularly her well-defined abs, became a hot topic among fans and social media users. Following the game, social media platforms lit up with comments appreciating her remarkable physique. Enthusiasts flooded platforms with comments like “Lexie Hull is shredded,” and expressed eagerness to learn her fitness routine. Fortuitously for fans, Hull had previously shared her 10-minute core-strengthening workout on TikTok, which has resurfaced during the playoffs.
Hull’s dedication to maintaining her physical form is proving invaluable for the Fever, especially given the team’s formidable lineup of injured players. With key teammates sidelined, Hull’s endurance and fitness have become essential to the Fever’s success as they strive for their first WNBA championship.
As the series progresses, the Fever hope to maintain their momentum in Game 2 against the Aces. Scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, the match at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas promises another thrilling encounter as Indiana seeks to secure a 2-0 lead. The game will be available on ESPN and local radio with probable line-ups featuring Odyssey Sims, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull, Natasha Howard, and Aliyah Boston for Indiana. Meanwhile, the Aces are anticipated to field Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, Kierstan Bell, NaLyssa Smith, and MVP A’ja Wilson.
A win in Game 2 for Indiana would position the team favorably before returning to Indianapolis for Game 3, enhancing their chances of reaching the Finals for the first time since 2015. Conversely, the Aces aim to reclaim their path to a third consecutive championship appearance.
