The Indiana Fever’s 86-84 overtime loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday was rough enough on its own. Lexie Hull finished with one point, four rebounds, and three turnovers in 17 minutes, numbers that have kinda become a pattern for her this season.
Caitlin Clark didn’t have her cleanest night either, but her response was to head back into the gym and put in extra work. Hull’s response looked very different, and that’s what split one teammate grinding and the other seemingly moving on, which set off Fever fans.
Fans Call Out Lexie Hull For Her Post-Match Attitude
Within a day of the loss, Hull posted an Instagram Story showing off her pregame outfit, tagging the brands behind it, including a link to products on Amazon. For a fanbase already frustrated with her production on the floor, the timing landed badly.
The post spread quickly, and the reaction split into two clear camps. Critics didn’t hold back with one Clark fan writing, “Fresh off a humiliating loss to the Aces, Lexie Hull is back to grifting posting links today to her products on Amazon. Lexie Liability is due to make $800,000 fully guaranteed next year. Meanwhile, Caitlin Clark took accountability for the loss working in the gym after the game.”

Another X user questioned Hull’s priorities, saying, “Hulls priorities are all wrong … CC saved her career so she could get all these off court opportunities and then she puts basketball in the back seat …and all her endorsements and make up company first priority.”

An X user called Nickstillhere questioned Hull over her video asking, “Do you know what grifting means ?”

One user even pointed out the major difference between Clark & Hull, “Caitlin went back to the court Lexie to the camera So sad”

However, not everyone piled on. A counter-argument showed up just as fast, and it centered on one word: grifting.
A user answered Hull’s critics by pointing out their envy towards her writing, “Grifting means it is a scam. Simply selling a product is just doing business. She is free to do that, even if you’re jealous of her salary.”
One user put it plainly, saying, “She’s entitled to take on sponsorships to make a living.” So, it’s less a debate about whether Hull should be allowed to have sponsors, and more of whether the timing of her posts, right after a bad loss, reflects where her focus actually is.
Whether or not “grifting” is the right word, the underlying complaint is really about priorities and timing. And as long as Clark keeps setting the example of getting extra gym time in right after a tough loss, Hull’s every move off the court is going to get measured against it, fairly or not.
