Lexie Hull is stepping into the spotlight as a late addition to the All-Star lineup and will go head-to-head against stars like Sabrina Ionescu (New York Liberty), Kelsey Plum (LA Sparks), Sonia Citron (Washington Mystics) and Allisha Gray (Atlanta Dream).

While she will be the underdog, she’ll have the full support of the Indiana crowd behind her, with this year’s All-Star game taking place on her home turf. Furthermore, Hull holds the fourth-best figure in the league for three-point percentage, justifying her inclusion in the event. She currently averages 46.8% while shooting from beyond the arc.
