INDIANA FEVER star Lexie Hull showed off her gruesome facial injuries after a nasty collision with Gabby Williams.
The injury-ravaged Fever beat Seattle Storm 95-75 on Tuesday night as the WNBA season enters its final playoff push.
But the vital victory came at a price for Hull after she collided with Storm star Williams while battling for the ball during the first quarter.
The two ran into each other head-first in a brutal collision that left both sent to the locker rooms to be assessed for head injuries after crumbling to the court.
But Hull was deemed able to re-enter the game and received a standing ovation from fans – with a massive lump on her forehead.
And the guard revealed the shocking extent of the damage that the collision left on her face in a TikTok video on Thursday.
Hull showed her two black eyes to the camera after an online fan asked her how the “knot” on her head was healing.
While removing her sunglasses, she said: “Funny you should ask that, because it’s not doing great. I wish this was a filter, but this is insane.
“The knot is gone. Instead, I just have two black eyes. So, yeah, this is me!”
In an attempt to reduce the swelling, Hull mentioned that she slept with a patch on her eyes, but that left her with the condition known as raccoon eyes

Despite the black-and-blue bruising, Hull was not listed on the Fever’s injury report ahead of their clash against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday.
The Washington native suited up for Fever’s incredible 76-75 win over the Sparks, scoring five points, four assists and five rebounds in 27 minutes of action.
The Fever are currently the sixth seed in the playoff race, sitting at 21-18 despite not having superstar Caitlin Clark for most of the season.
Clark has been sidelined with a lingering groin injury since mid-July and reportedly tweaked her right ankle during an individual workout earlier this month.
They also lost fan favorite Aari McDonald for the remainder of the season to a broken foot and forward Sophie Cunningham also tore her ACL on August 17.
Speaking with reporters, first-year Fever head coach Stephanie White said she felt sorry for Lexie’s black eyes.
White said: “Every time I see her, I’m like, ‘Oh, poor Lexie’.
“But it really epitomizes Lexie’s toughness when you look at her and you see those two black eyes.
“I mean, she’s tough as nails. She plays all out, every possession, all the time, and sometimes the result is two black eyes, and so I smile every time I see her.
“And but it definitely is a picture perfect viewpoint of the toughness that she brings.”
