The Indiana Fever are on a playoff run that very few predicted. With the spotlight firmly on the team, even moments off the court are making waves. One of those came when a picture of Lexie Hull ahead of the semifinals matchup against the Las Vegas Aces went viral.
Fans were quick to notice the guard’s incredible physique, calling attention to just how “ripped” she looked as Indy continued their resilient run.
Why Did Indiana Fever Fans Go Crazy Over Lexie Hull’s Viral Photo?
Game 1 of the semifinals round on September 21 saw the Fever shock the Aces, 89-73, in Vegas. While the victory itself was headline-worthy, Hull became the talk of the town after a picture surfaced showing her sculpted frame and abs.
The image spread quickly because of its aesthetics and also because of what it symbolized. Hull has gradually become a player whose work ethic has clearly paid off in a year when she’s had to step up more than ever.
She has already carved out her place as Indy’s most valuable contributor this postseason, with defining moments coming in the previous round against the Atlanta Dream. She stole an inbound pass in the closing seconds of the crucial Game 3 of the series, sealing the Fever’s ticket to this stage.

The kind of play embodied her all-hustle identity, constant movement, defensive awareness, and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. Her viral abs only amplify the narrative surrounding her. Not only is she gaining her peak, but she’s getting recognized for the grind that she does behind the scenes.
This isn’t the first time Hull’s physique has caught attention. Earlier this year, she became a trending topic during her tunnel walk. Teammates, fans, and even rivals chimed in on her standout abs.
Caitlin Clark even came forward with a separate joke on Instagram. “Dude, mix in the ab workout… probs would be smart,” Clark wrote, after Hull showed off her core in a pregame outfit.
More recently, Angel Reese commented on a post from their shared Unrivaled league team, saying, “Lexie I’m so jealous of those abs 🥲😍.”

In a separate interview with “Who What Wear” in March this year, Hull explained that she doesn’t rely on a stylist for her game-day looks. What fans often see is simply her workout-driven lifestyle on display.
Then again, she also revealed that basketball is the foundation of her ab strength. Every single drill and lift keeps her core engaged. Off the court, she mixes in Pilates and Solidcore classes during the WNBA season and the offseason to maintain balance and variety.
Her consistency shows. Whether it’s vacation photos from Hawaii last fall, pilates selfies, or candid shots during pregame routines, Hull’s abs have become something of a trademark.
