LAS VEGAS — In a late addition to the injury report, Fever guard Lexie Hull is questionable with a back injury for Indiana’s WNBA semifinal Game 2 against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday night.
Hull was wearing a heat therapy pad around her lower back during the Fever’s shootaround Tuesday morning, but she still participated as normal in the portion of shootaround open to the media.
Hull has been one of the four players on the Fever’s roster this season to play in every game, even fighting through a hit to the head and two black eyes in August. She is averaging 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game as one of Indiana’s best defenders.
If Hull isn’t able to go on Tuesday night, the Fever would be down to nine available players. Indiana has five players out for the season — Chloe Bibby (left knee), Caitlin Clark (right groin), Sydney Colson (left ACL), Sophie Cunningham (right MCL), and Aari McDonald (right foot) — and Damiris Dantas has missed five straight games in concussion protocol.
No. 6-seed Indiana has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series against No. 2 Las Vegas.
