In a playful exchange that has captured the attention of the basketball community, WNBA star Caitlin Clark recently found herself in the spotlight due to a light-hearted moment on Eli Manning’s show. During the interview, the former NFL quarterback posed a whimsical question: if you went out to dinner with your entire team, who would be the least likely to pick up the check? Without missing a beat, Clark jokingly responded, “Probably Lexie Hull.”
The comment, meant in jest, quickly circulated online, igniting reactions from fans and players alike. Hull, the Indiana Fever guard, took the opportunity to join in on the fun by posting a witty reply on Instagram, stating, “Whoa, no free meals, snacks, drinks, anything from me here on out!” Clark acknowledged Hull’s playful comeback in the comments, remarking, “Didn’t expect anything different.”
Fans flooded the post with various reactions, with some suggesting that Clark had strategically selected Hull’s name to avoid ruffling feathers with her new Fever teammates. Others leaned into the humor, with one comment cheekily asking, “Lex, about that bag?”
As the WNBA offseason continues, Clark remains a prominent figure in sports media, drawing attention not only for her on-court prowess but also for her vibrant personality and media presence. With March Madness taking center stage, Clark’s appearances on talk shows, participation in golf tournaments, and engaging speaking engagements have kept her in the limelight, even as she has yet to step onto the court this season.
Despite the ongoing criticism faced by her agent, Aaron Kain, Clark’s ability to stay relevant and maintain her brand is evident. With just about 70 days remaining until the WNBA season kicks off, excitement is building among Indiana Fever fans eager for real basketball action. Until then, light-hearted moments like this playful exchange between Clark and Hull serve to keep the conversation around the rising star alive and thriving in the basketball community.
