In a year dominated by blockbuster headlines and superstar noise, no one expected Lexie Hull to quietly become one of the Indiana Fever’s most indispensable—and most beloved—figures. Yet here she is, fresh off a breakout 2025 campaign that forced the entire league to pay attention. Hull averaged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting a sharp 39.5% from the field and a deadly 36.7% from deep. Those numbers didn’t just pad a stat sheet—they cemented the former Stanford standout as a trusted starter on a Fever squad that shocked the league by storming their way to a Commissioner’s Cup title and a deep playoff run.
And when the lights burned brightest? Hull burned hotter. In eight pressure-loaded postseason games, she elevated her production to 10.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists, proving that her rise wasn’t a fluke—it was a warning shot.
But the latest viral moment surrounding Hull has nothing to do with a clutch steal or a corner three.
It’s what she did off the court that has fans calling her the soul of the franchise.
On Tuesday, the Indiana Fever revealed that Hull—along with teammates Sydney Colson and Aari McDonald—paid a surprise visit to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana. What followed was a night of pure joy: musical chairs, board games, laughter echoing through the room, and a genuine connection with the kids and staff who make up the program.
“Getting in the holiday spirit,” the Fever posted. “Sydney Colson, Lexie Hull & Aari McDonald stopped by for a night of festive fun filled with musical chairs and board games.”
Photos from the event immediately ignited social media, showing Hull fully immersed—high-fiving kids, crouching on the floor for game night battles, and sharing candid moments with staff. It wasn’t a staged appearance. It was a genuine, emotional reminder of why athletes like Hull matter far beyond the hardwood.
Fans responded with overflowing admiration.
“I appreciate how much the Fever is involved with community. No wonder they are America’s Team,” one supporter wrote.
“You mean Hulliday season,” another fan joked—sparking a wave of retweets and memes celebrating Hull’s growing popularity.
“Luv it! These ladies are just remarkable people, all around,” a commenter added, echoing the sentiment across the WNBA community.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Indiana weighed in as well: “Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with our Bigs and Littles – they had a blast!”
And now, as Hull prepares to navigate free agency—albeit with Indiana holding the power to match any offer—one thing is clear: she isn’t just a priority for the Fever. She’s becoming a symbol of what the franchise represents.
A rising star.
A community pillar.
A player fans can rally behind.
If this is the beginning of the “Hulliday Season,” Indiana may not want it to end anytime soon.
