Lexie Hull is expected to remain a key contributor for the Indiana Fever this season.
But in the season opener on Saturday against the Dallas Wings, she isn't expected to play much.
When head coach Stephanie White spoke to reporters before the game, she said Hull would be on a minutes restriction.
Why isn't Lexie Hull playing much?
Hull is being brought back carefully after missing the entire preseason.
A hamstring injury meant Hull didn't get any preseason minutes. That likely just means she isn't quite in full-speed game shape yet.
She'll surely see the floor, but she'll do it wearing a leg sleeve and trying to get her full conditioning back:
Hull isn't a starter for the Fever when the roster is fully healthy, anyway, but she can be a solid piece off the bench.
Indiana will be careful, because there's a full season ahead, but Hull should work her way into a quality spot in the rotation soon enough.
