### Breaking: Lexie Hull’s Twin Sister Lacie Ignites Firestorm with Racist Accusation After Fever’s Loss to Dream
In a postgame bombshell that’s rippling through the WNBA, Lacie Hull, twin sister of Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, unleashed a blistering social media rant accusing her sister’s teammates of deliberately sidelining her due to race. The controversy erupted hours after the Fever’s heartbreaking 80-68 defeat to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where Lexie tallied a frustrating 4 points on 1-for-7 shooting, including zero assists.
Lacie, a former Stanford standout who now works in tech in Austin, Texas, took to Instagram Stories with a now-deleted post that read: “Can’t believe what I just watched.

The Hull twins, inseparable since their 2021 Stanford national championship, have always been each other’s fiercest advocates. Lacie’s protective streak shone through after Lexie’s scary head injury last month, where she jokingly arm-wrestled her sister back to health. But this marks their boldest foray into league politics, echoing broader debates on equity in women’s hoops amid Caitlin Clark’s meteoric rise.
Fever coach Stephanie White addressed the uproar pre-practice Tuesday: “We’re a family. Miscommunications happen; we’ll review tape and move forward united.” Lexie, ever the diplomat, posted a cryptic emoji heart on her Instagram, offering no direct comment.
As playoffs loom, Lacie’s words hang heavy. Will they fracture the Fever’s chemistry or fuel a redemption arc? One thing’s clear: the Hulls aren’t bac
