From having limited minutes to announcing a breakout year, Lexie Hull has remained patient, been her worst critic, and trusted the work she has put in. And now, what does she mean for the Indiana Fever? Stephanie White says, “We need her. She always does the little things that don’t show up on the stat sheet.” It has been a long and trying journey for the young guard, but the competitiveness her father instilled when young, and the encouragement her mother shows every step, keep her going. So, here’s a little of what we know about the two people who have shaped Lexie Hull’s story.

Who Are Lexie Hull’s Parents?

Born on September 13, 1999, in Liberty Lake, Washington, to American-origin parents, Jason and Jamie Hull, Lexie Lauren Hull boasts a strong basketball background. Her father, Jason, was a basketball player too. As a former Division III All-American at Whitworth University, he has led his team into the NCAA championships.

Besides, her mother, Jamie, emerged as a pillar of strength and support to the star. Jamie has often been spotted attending her daughter’s games and celebrates Lexi’s achievements as milestones. In fact, the Indiana Fever guard’s mother came to the spotlight for her playful posts surrounding Lexie’s on-court moments. One of them was when Hull nudged Atlanta Dream player Rhyne Howard out of bounds last season.

“Oh my gosh… Really Lexie Hull?!? I asked her why she pushed her, and all she texted back was, ‘idk.’ Sure didn’t make her friend Rhyne very happy. SMH at my kid on that one,” Lexi’s mother wrote on social media.

Lexie Hull Family’s Athletic Background

Lexi Hull hails from a strong athletic background. While her father, Jason Hull, was a distinguished college athlete for Whitworth University, her grandfather also shared a connection with basketball. After all, grandad John Hull too was a college player for the Western Washington University.

So, when the Fever star and her sibling displayed an interest in the game, thanks to the exposure, her father donned the hat of a coach and the backyard became a playground. Despite a competitive atmosphere, he fueled his children with practical knowledge about the game as well as about life. And thus began Lexi’s journey towards basketball. His lessons and teachings have widely helped Lexi in the professional sphere.

Who Are Lexie Hull’s Siblings?

Lexi Hull has one twin sister named Lacie Hull. Both of them were trained by their father before they officially stepped into the world of basketball. “I think something that a lot of people don’t know is that my dad is also a twin. Having a twin growing up, I think, led him to raise us with a twin’s mindset,” Lexi Hull had shared. “He understood the inherent competition we would feel doing anything against each other.” 

As a basketball enthusiast, Lacie used to team up with Lexi during their high school days. Trained by their father in the driveway of their family home, the Hull twins would often play together at Central Valley High School, Washington.

“It’s good because we’re at the same level when we practice, and it makes us better,” Lexi had shared about her sister. Despite growing up in a competitive household, the two did not let their careers intertwine with their bond. Lacie has won two state championships and a national title during her amateur days. Moreover, she had a remarkable collegiate run at Stanford.

Being a part of the 2021 NCAA championship victory she has won several accolades, including the Pac-12 Sixth Player of the Year in 2021. After all, the Hull sisters propelled their team into winning two Pac-12 championships and three Pac-12 Tournament titles. She finished her college run averaging 4.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists by her senior year and led the program in three-point percentage, by shooting 54.5% from deep.

Besides, Lacie had an equal interest in the academics. She earned notable academic honors during her graduation, with CoSIDA Academic All-America Second Team in 2022 being one of them.

Lexie Hull’s Relationship with Her Parents

Coming from a close-knit family, Lexi Hull shares a strong bond with her parents. She often expresses her love and gratitude to family members on social media. On father’s day, she penned a heartfelt note with a carousal of photos new and old. “Happy Father’s Day to my forever best friend,” she wrote.

While the guard recently admitted her admiration and gratitude to her father, her relationship with mother Jamie is equally adorable. “It’s funny what a little bit of confidence can do! When the game gets back to being fun, great things happen! @lexiehulll stay “Humble and Kind” and keep working. So much more to do,” her mother wrote when Hull went on an offensive surge.

While father Jason brings his experience and sports wisdom, her mother ensures Lexi stays grounded and supports her daughter through the ebbs and tides of the game. This healthy relationship with her parents has helped her foster a strong athletic and personal growth.
