Lexie Hull Reacts to Indiana Fever News on Sunday
Lexie Hull Reacts to Indiana Fever News on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever got some good news on Sunday following their disappointing 89-87 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday. Kelsey Mitchell was named an All-Star reserve for the upcoming 2025 WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis on July 19. Advertisement Mitchell, who is averaging a career-best 19.3 points on 45.5% shooting, 1.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.3 triples per game this season, will be joining All-Star captain Caitlin Clark and All-Star starter Aliyah Boston in what will be Mitchell's third consecutive appearance in the All-Star Game. In the loss to the Sparks, Mitchell posted 19 points on 8-of-17 shots, including three triples. Congratulations have poured in for the 29-year-old veteran, including a two-word message from Indiana teammate Lexie Hull. "yes ma'am 🥳" Hull wrote on Instagram, sharing the Fever's congratulatory post. Advertisement It is worth noting that Hull was one of the top WNBA players who received the most fan votes for the All-Star Game. She ranked eighth overall with 633,968 total votes, which speaks volumes about her popularity among the fans. However, since the media, players and coaches also vote to determine the starters and the reserves, Hull ultimately missed out on what would have been her first All-Star appearance. Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull congratulated teammate Kelsey Mitchell's All-Star selection. Lucas Peltier-Imagn Images The Fever will be well-represented in the All-Star Game, though, with no less than three players from the squad taking part in the festivities. As captain, Clark will get the opportunity to draft her own All-Star squad, which means that she could potentially be teammates with both Boston and Mitchell in the big game.

WNBA Referees Under Fire Over Officiating Involving Angel Reese
WNBA Referees Under Fire Over Officiating Involving Angel Reese originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky came as close as possible to handing the Minnesota Lynx their first home loss of the season on Sunday. Advertisement Unfortunately for the Sky, who led by as many as 14 points and saw all five starters score in double figures, they were unable to slow down the dynamic duo that is Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride. The Lynx duo combined for 46 of the team's points and made some huge plays down the stretch in what ended up being an 80-75 win for Minnesota. While the Sky likely aren't thrilled with the result, they must love the performance they got from Angel Reese. The second-year forward who was named an All-Star before the game finished with 16 points and 17 rebounds. However, fans around the WNBA are convinced that the officials cost her some points throughout the game. With all 16 shot attempts coming in the paint and Reese appearing to deal with some physicality, she was only awarded two free throws. Advertisement Something that fans took to social media to highlight. "Angel Reese must have the worst whistle in the #WNBA. I'm not the only one seeing this and say this. No excuse for the Sky lost tho," wrote one user. "Angel Reese would be averaging 20+ pts a game if the refs called the games fairly," added another. "Angel Reese does not be getting any calls lol she stay getting hacked," observed one user. "If you ever needed a game to confirm the 'disconnect' between Angel Reese and the refs 🤣🤣🤣🤣. This is just egregious," added another fan. "Refs treat Angel Reese like she Russ & Bron to she strong for foul calls lol," joked one user. Advertisement Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).David Gonzales-Imagn Images It likely also doesn't help ease the suspicions that the officials are swallowing the whistle when it comes to Reese, considering that the Lynx had 17 free throw attempts compared to the Sky's eight. Regardless, what's done is done. Reese and the Sky will look to bounce back against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday in a game scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET.

Is Aliyah Boston Teaming Up With Candace Parker for a Podcast? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Fever, who have been without Caitlin Clark for the last five games, saw their three-game winning streak come to an end after their Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Advertisement Still, the Fever have been a surprise in their second run without Clark, which includes winning the Commissioner's Cup championship. And Aliyah Boston has been a big part of that, averaging 16.6 points and 8.3 rebounds, making her third All-Star appearance in the process. But Boston may be taking her talents to the studio. Recently, accounts on X and Instagram named "Post Moves Show" were found, hinting a potential podcast with Boston and Los Angeles Sparks legend Candace Parker as hosts. "@Candace_Parker & @aa_boston," the X bio read. "Coming July 2025." The two pages have no posts and follow only five accounts, including Boston and Parker. However, neither of the stars currently follows the pages themselves. And neither Boston nor Parker has confirmed a podcast or any upcoming project with one another. Advertisement Still, fans are excited about the idea of Boston teaming up with the future Hall of Famer for a podcast, taking to social media to leave their thoughts. "AB is getting a podcast with Candace Parker?!?!" one fan asked. "Oh I am watching and supporting for sure!!!" added another. "Woot woot!!!" wrote a third. "It will be huge if this is true!" claimed a fourth. "Anything ab does will turn to gold," said a fifth. "That would be awesome," posted a sixth. Indiana Fever forward Aliyah Boston (7) might be in a new podcast with WNBA legend Candace Davis-Imagn Images Although nothing has been confirmed, the hype surrounding a potential podcast - or any project, for that matter - with Boston and Parker is real. Only time will tell if it becomes a reality. Advertisement Meanwhile, the Fever have fallen to 9-9 on the season, hosting the Golden State Valkyries in their next game on Wednesday at noon ET. It is unclear if Clark will return at the time of this article.
