Caitlin Clark posts hilarious social media reaction to Lexie Hull's breakout game
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever rolled to victory on Sunday over the Seattle Storm. But a massive part of that win was the breakout performance of her teammate, Lexie Hull. Shortly after the game, Clark decided to show her teammate some love by writing, “This is now a Lexie Hull fan account.”
Hull didn’t disappoint on Sunday, stuffing the stat sheet with 22 points, connecting on 6 of 7 three-pointers. She also hit 8 of 10 of her shots from the field. The Fever ended up winning in blowout fashion, 92-75. Clark also did her usual damage on Sunday, scoring 23 points, dishing out nine assists, and grabbing five rebounds.
More on Caitlin Clark and her historic rookie campaign
Thus far through Clark’s historic rookie campaign, she has scored 497 points, dished out 232 assists, grabbed 161 rebounds, and drilled 78 three-pointers.
Clark has a chance to win the Rookie of the Year award this season. She would go on to break the WNBA rookie assist record on Sunday against the Seattle Storm, recording her 225th dime of the season.
The former Iowa star’s impact on the city of Indianapolis and women’s basketball as a whole couldn’t be more evident as the Fever have broken several WNBA attendance records in her opening season. They are also currently in seventh place with a chance to make their first playoff appearance since 2016.
Indiana has won just one title in its WNBA history, with that coming in 2012. Clark will hope to one day lead the Fever to another, just as Manning did by bringing the Colts a Super Bowl in 2006.
She seems well on her way to building a strong career, and it will be exciting to see where she takes things from here. But as far as she’s concerned, it couldn’t have gotten started in a better place.
“It’s been an easy adjustment,” Clark said. “It’s easy to enjoy the crowds in Indianapolis. This is definitely a big city, but it doesn’t always feel that way. It feels like a small community that supports one another and definitely people that love their sports. I can’t imagine going to a better place.”
