Great news for Indiana Fever fans: Lexie Hull has confirmed she will be ready for Saturday's WNBA season opener against the Dallas Wings. The fan-favorite guard had been sidelined for both preseason games with a hamstring injury, sparking questions about her availability for the regular season start.
Hull addressed the media on Tuesday, easing concerns with a positive update. "I definitely feel good and ready to be back," she said, though she hinted at a possible minutes restriction. "We'll see how much I get to play." She described the issue as "hamstring tightness" that she expects to manage during the game.
The timing couldn't be better for the Fever. Hull just signed a two-year contract in free agency last month, and she's coming off a career-best season. She averaged 7.2 points per game in 2025 and elevated her game in the playoffs, putting up 10.3 points per contest as the Fever made a surprise run to the WNBA semifinals despite injuries to stars like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham.
Saturday's home opener against the Wings is shaping up to be a star-studded affair, and having Hull on the floor—even on limited minutes—provides a significant boost for Indiana's backcourt depth and fan morale. With her sharp shooting and relentless energy, Hull is a key piece of the Fever's plans for a strong 2026 campaign.
