Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull exchanged some words on Instagram after the Indiana Fever second-year star joined this week's episode of The Eli Manning Show where she played mini-golf with the NFL legend. Clark had to answer a question if she missed a shot, which led to the comment exchange with Hull.

When Eli Manning asked who was the least likely person to pick up the check at a team dinner, she tried to avoid the question by making the shot but missed. Clark then mentioned Hull.

"That's a good question. Let me just make it so I don't have to answer," she said. "Least likely? Probably Lexie."

Hull responded to Clark's remarks, saying she won't buy stuff for Clark anymore.

"Wowwwwwwwww. No free meals/snacks/drinks/anything from me from here on out 🫡 @caitlinclark22," Hull commented underneath the post.

Clark responded by saying she wasn't surprised.

"Didn't expect any different!"
