If you’ve watched any Indiana Fever games lately, you know Lexie Hull. She’s the one diving into the front row for a loose ball or hitting a massive transition three when the defense collapses on Caitlin Clark. She’s basically the human equivalent of a caffeinated golden retriever on the court. But for a long time, if you saw Lexie, you saw Lacie.
The Hull twins were a package deal. Two 6-foot-1 guards from Spokane who basically owned the state of Washington before heading to Stanford. They won a national title together in 2021. They both earned master's degrees in Management Science and Engineering. They even look so much alike that teammates used to check their shoes just to figure out who they were talking to.
Then 2022 happened. Lexie went No. 6 overall in the WNBA Draft. Lacie? She went to Silicon Valley.
The Fork in the Road for Lexie and Lacie Hull
It’s rare to see twins this talented just... stop being a duo. Most people assumed Lacie would at least try for a training camp contract or head overseas. Honestly, she probably could have made a roster. She was the Pac-12 Sixth Player of the Year in 2021 and shot over 40% from deep as a senior. But while Lexie was packing for Indianapolis, Lacie was starting a career in tech.
She spent time at eBay and eventually landed at Tesla. It's a move that confuses some sports fans but makes total sense when you look at their academic track record. We're talking about two women who finished their master's degrees in four years while playing elite Division I basketball. Lacie didn't "fail" at basketball; she just chose a different court.

Lexie, meanwhile, had to find her identity without her sister for the first time in 22 years. Her first two seasons in the WNBA were a bit of a grind. She was mostly known as a "3-and-D" specialist who focused heavily on the "D." She took hits, got bruised up, and played with a level of grit that made her a fan favorite, even when her shooting percentages were shaky.
Lexie Hull's 2025 Breakout and the "Fever" Effect
Everything changed in 2025. If you haven't checked the stats recently, Lexie Hull basically turned into a flamethrower. After shooting a ridiculous 47.1% from three in 2024, she became a permanent fixture in the Fever's starting lineup during their 2025 playoff run.
She wasn't just a role player anymore. She was a starter. In the 2025 postseason, she averaged 10.3 points and 5 rebounds a game. She played through a back injury in the semifinals against the Aces, logging over 40 minutes in a double-overtime thriller. She also famously ended up with two black eyes after a collision with Gabby Williams and didn't miss a single minute of the next game. That’s just who she is.
The chemistry between her and Caitlin Clark has become a cornerstone for Indiana. Clark has gone on record saying every team needs a "Lexie Hull type"—someone who is completely selfless and willing to do the dirty work.

Life Beyond the Baseline
What's really interesting is that Lexie is starting to follow Lacie's lead in the business world, just in a different way. Even though she's a restricted free agent heading into the 2026 season, she isn't just sitting around waiting for a contract.
Just this month, Lexie announced a partnership with Teriyaki Madness and has been teasing a new fashion brand on TikTok with a "bestie" (fans are naturally speculating it's her sister or a former teammate). She’s also playing in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league for Rose BC, where she already helped them win the inaugural title in 2025.
Why the "Twin Connection" Still Matters
Even though they live different lives now, the connection is still there. You’ll often see Lacie in the stands at Gainbridge Fieldhouse or courtside at playoff games.
- Lexie is the pro athlete, currently one of the most efficient shooters in the WNBA.
- Lacie is the corporate powerhouse, proving there’s a massive life after the final whistle.
Most people get the Hull twins wrong by thinking one "made it" and the other didn't. In reality, they both maximized those Stanford degrees. One just happens to do it in a jersey while the other does it in a boardroom.

What's Next for the Hull Sisters?
If you're following Lexie's career, keep an eye on the WNBA free agency news. Because the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) expired after the 2025 season, things are a bit chaotic. Almost everyone is technically a free agent right now. However, it's highly unlikely the Fever let Lexie walk. She's the "glue" that keeps their perimeter defense together.
For Lacie, expect to see her name pop up more in the tech and entrepreneurship space. She’s already been a guest speaker at events for female founders in New York.
Actionable Insights for Fans:
- Follow the Money: Keep an eye on Lexie's brand deals; she's moving into the "influencer-athlete" space faster than almost anyone else in the league.
- Watch the Roster: If the Fever don't lock Lexie into a long-term deal by the start of the 2026 season, she will be the most sought-after "3-and-D" player on the market.
- Check LinkedIn, not just ESPN: If you want to see what Lacie is up to, her professional updates usually drop there before they hit sports news cycles.
The Hull twins have successfully navigated the hardest transition in sports: moving from a "package deal" to two successful, independent women. Whether it’s hitting threes in Indy or building brands in Cali, they’re still winning.
