It’s always a blessing to have a best friend like Lexie Hull, especially when you’re Caitlin Clark. As one of the most scrutinized and talented young athletes in the WNBA, the Indiana Fever star faces intense media attention and the pressure that comes with being a generational talent. During these challenging times, having someone who can truly relate to her experience is invaluable, and it’s clear that Lexie Hull fills that role for Clark.
Hull, who shares many of the same experiences on and off the court, provides that level of support that few others can.
Whether it’s dealing with the pressures of fame, managing expectations, or simply enjoying life off the court, Hull and Clark seem to have a bond that helps them navigate it all together.
The two friends are often seen having a great time, even if Clark occasionally gets competitive—like during their golfing adventures, where Clark has been known to playfully berate Hull when there’s money on the line.
Recently, the Indiana Fever shared a post on Instagram featuring Hull “back in the lab,” working hard during the offseason. Naturally, the first comment to appear at the top of the post was from none other than Caitlin Clark. The 22-year-old phenom gushed over her best friend and teammate, writing, “She’s inspiring … truly.”
The comment highlighted the genuine admiration Clark has for Hull, showcasing their strong friendship and mutual support.

While Clark and Hull’s friendship remains strong, their paths are set to diverge—at least temporarily. Unrivaled, the new 3×3 basketball league, recently announced its rosters, and while Clark has yet to sign on, Hull has joined the league and will be playing alongside Clark’s biggest rival, Angel Reese, for the Rose squad.
The prospect of Hull teaming up with Reese adds an interesting twist, as fans can’t help but imagine the dynamic conversations that might happen off the court between Hull, Reese, and Clark—especially given the competitive history between Clark and Reese.
In the meantime, Clark continues to hone her skills both on and off the court. Most recently, she made an appearance at the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic Pro-Am, continuing to work on her amateur golf game.
Her passion for golf has been well-documented, even though there have been some mishaps along the way—like the near-miss incident last week that almost saw her hit a spectator.
Despite these bumps, Clark remains undeterred and seems intent on improving her game while enjoying a break from basketball.
As for Unrivaled, the league is moving full speed ahead with big names like Lexie Hull and Angel Reese already on board. Fans are left wondering if the inspired Caitlin Clark will decide to join the new 3×3 league as well.
The competitive spirit between Clark and Reese would certainly make for must-watch basketball, and the addition of Hull to Reese’s team only adds to the intrigue.
Whether Clark signs on or not, it’s clear that she’ll continue to be a force both on the basketball court and in whatever endeavors she takes on next.
