- Indiana Fever. Caitlin Clark has a strange Halloween ritual that takes place on doorstep in front of her neighbors
Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull is the latest player to sign with Unrivaled, a new professional 3x3 basketball league, as she prepares to the exclusive group of WNBA stars competing in this innovative Miami-based venture.
Lexie Hull takes her shot at Unrivaled
Hull, who shone this past season as one of the league's top three-point shooters, marks the 29th player to commit to Unrivaled, adding Indiana's first representative to the offseason league set to tip off in January 2024.
The Unrivaled Basketball League, co-founded by UConn alumnae Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, aims to revolutionize women's basketball with a player-centric structure.
Each athlete receives equity in the league alongside a $100,000 minimum salary, and games will air twice weekly on TNT, adding a dynamic 1v1 tournament to its season schedule.
Why fans think Caitlin Clark could follow Hull's footsteps
Hull's arrival fills a crucial spot for the Fever and brings new attention to Unrivaled's recruitment efforts, particularly in attracting rookie sensation Caitlin Clark.
Known for their camaraderie, Hull's involvement may just be the boost Unrivaled needs to lure the Iowa legend into the fold.
"Lexie Hull is an amazing way to try and get Caitlin Clark to be number 30 in Unrivaled," one fan commented on social media, capturing the sentiment shared by many.
Speculation around Clark's potential participation has only grown as Unrivaled nears its full roster.
Her arrival would be an impressive achievement for the league as it completes its lineup of 30 players, a milestone in its mission to establish a compelling platform for women's basketball.
However, whether the league's incentives, including Hull's friendship, will be enough to bring Clark on board remains uncertain.
As the January 17 debut approaches, Unrivaled is positioning itself as a pioneer in the sport, combining competitive pay, unique gameplay, and a high-profile roster.
While the league's Miami-based inaugural season will test its format, Unrivaled's founders are already exploring plans for expansion into other cities in future seasons.
