Indiana Fever guard updates injury status ahead of season opener

As the Indiana Fever continue to prepare for their 2026 WNBA regular-season opener on Saturday, May 9, guard Lexie Hull provided an update on her hamstring injury, which kept her out of the team's three preseason matchups.

Following practice on Tuesday, the Stanford product described the hamstring injury as continued tightness throughout the preseason, but indicated that she anticipates playing in some capacity during the Fever's season-opener against the Dallas Wings.

"Yep, yep," Hull said when asked if she anticipates playing against the Wings. "We'll see how much I get to play, but I definitely feel good."

Hull signed a two-year contract with the Fever this offseason. A No. 6 overall pick by the Fever in the first round of the 2022 WNBA draft, Hull averaged career-bests last season in points (7.2), rebounds (4.3), assists (1.8) and steals (1.2) per game, while shooting 39.5% from the field, 36.7% from 3-point range and 72.2% from the free-throw line. The 6-foot-1 guard played in all 44 regular-season games last season and started 30.
