The Indiana Fever remain a hot topic in the WNBA following their acquisition of Caitlin Clark. Drafted by the Fever over a year ago, Clark is quickly establishing herself as a star, aiming to lead the team to a WNBA championship under head coach Stephanie White.
While Clark garners much attention, the Fever have built a strong lineup featuring talented players like Sophie Cunningham, Aliyah Boston, and Lexi Hull. Hull, who recently had a breakout season, has been a significant asset to Coach White on both offense and defense. As she continues to develop into one of the league’s premier two-way players, Hull shared some exciting news off the court—she announced a partnership with startup energy drink brand RYSE.
“We are proud to announce that we are officially Team @Drinklease,” Hull said. “You inspire me on and off the court and let’s rise together.” Prior to this deal, Hull had already secured partnerships with ATHLETA, Dazzle Dry, Google Pixel, TJ Maxx, and Ion.
Last season, Hull averaged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game for the Indiana Fever, hitting career highs in rebounds, shot attempts (6.8), and steals (1.2).
Fan Take: This partnership highlights how WNBA players are becoming influential not just on the court but also in popular culture and business, marking a positive step towards greater visibility and commercial opportunities in women’s basketball. For Fever fans and the league as a whole, it signifies growth in the sport’s marketability and the rising star power of its athletes.
