Early in Tuesday night's game between the Storm and the Fever, Indiana guard Lexie Hull collided with Seattle's All-Star Gabby Williams. There was no malice intended -- the two players were fighting over a loose ball -- but there was a momentary pause in the action as Aliyah Boston and Fever medical personnel looked over Hull.

Hull ended up playing 23 minutes (close to her season average), and she scored five points to go with nine rebounds as the Fever scored a 95-75 home win over the Storm. But Hull since has revealed how the collision with Williams left her worse for where.

In a video posted Thursday, Hull responded to a fan question about her status, removing a pair of sunglasses to show the two black eyes she is sporting for the time being.

"It's not doing great," Hull said in the video about her facial injuries. "I wish this was a filter, but this is insane."

Hull previously had a knot on her forehead that seems to have reduced in size -- and despite the two shiners, she is not listed on the Fever's injury report entering Friday night's showdown with the Sparks in Los Angeles.

Hull this season participated in the 3-Point Contest during All-Star Weekend festivities at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. In her fourth WNBA campaign, Hull is averaging 7.0 points and 4.4 rebounds per game while shooting 38 percent from beyond the arc.
