LOS ANGELES — Every time Indiana Fever coach Steph White has seen Lexie Hull these past few days, she gets this small smile on her face. Immediately following it is an, “I’m so sorry.”
She’s looking at the two black eyes that have formed on Hull’s face after a collision with Gabby Williams during Tuesday night’s game against Seattle.
“Every time I see her, I’m like, ‘Oh, poor Lexie,'” White said following the Fever’s shootaround on Friday. “But you know, I think it really epitomizes Lexie’s toughness when you look at her and you see those two black eyes. I mean, she’s tough as nails, you know. She plays all out, every possession, all the time, and sometimes the result is two black eyes, and so I smile every time I see her. And but it definitely is a picture perfect viewpoint of the toughness that she brings.”…
