Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull has been creating a solid bond with the reigning Rookie of the Year's rival, Angel Reese, during their time in Unrivaled. Hull and Reese are teammates on the Rose BC roster. Their budding relationship took a new turn after the Fever guard named the Sky star the 'best Valentine' date on her team.
Hull laid out her reason to favor Reese, saying:
"Probably Angel. She'd spoil you."
Angel Reese is known to be affectionate with her loved ones. She frequently shows love to all her teammates online and her family, too. Reese also seems to have a big heart. One of her most notable gestures was to retire her mom, Angel Webb Reese.
On Jan. 30, when Reese's mom celebrated her birthday, the Sky star invited her on her podcast. She gave Webb a check that helped her clear her house mortgage.
"You said that if your mortgage was paid off, you would retire," Reese said. "Or you can pick if you want to work still. So your mortgage today has been paid."
Angel Reese displayed that she is affectionate and caring about the people close to her, and Lexie Hull has certainly observed that after spending the past two months with the former LSU graduate.
