Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull have quickly become a dynamic duo both on and off the court for the Indiana Fever. While Clark is making waves as a rookie sensation, Hull, now in her third year, has taken on a leadership role. The two have formed a strong chemistry, translating into fun moments off the hardwood as well.
On Friday, the Fever celebrated Hull’s 25th birthday in a lighthearted moment after their team shootaround. Leading the festivities was none other than Clark, who took charge of the team’s rendition of “Happy Birthday” for Hull.
The moment was filled with laughter, and it’s safe to say that Hull got “carried away” with the excitement of the celebration, soaking in the love from her teammates.
Clark joked afterward about the pressure of being the only rookie on the team, saying, “It’s a tough job leading the birthday song, but someone’s got to do it. I had to perform for the team!” Clark’s playful attitude and camaraderie with her teammates show the tight-knit bond the Fever have developed, a promising sign as they head into the playoffs.

In addition to the cheerful song, Hull was treated to a thoughtful gift from the team—a balloon and a double-decker cupcake with a candle, which she happily received. The celebration didn’t stop there, as rumors swirled that Clark may have also gifted Hull a custom purse. Whether or not that’s true, the lighthearted atmosphere around the team is clear.
There was even talk that a fan might have joined in on the fun by giving Hull a birthday gift, although this remains unconfirmed. If true, it would be a hilarious addition to an already memorable day for the Fever’s forward.
As the Fever prepared to face the Las Vegas Aces for the second game in a row later that day, the team hoped to add a win to Hull’s birthday festivities. While the Fever battled hard, they fell to the Aces in a closely contested 78-74 loss.
Despite the outcome, the bond between Clark, Hull, and the rest of the team remains a highlight, and with that kind of camaraderie, the Fever look poised for future success.
