The Indiana Fever selected Raven Johnson from South Carolina with the 10th overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, intending for her to support star player Caitlin Clark and free-agent signee Ty Harris at point guard. Johnson's history with Clark is notably controversial; during the 2023 Women’s Final Four, Clark famously avoided guarding Johnson, which led Johnson to later express feelings of bullying and isolation. Despite this, Johnson has had a commendable college career, contributing to two national championships with the Gamecocks and earning accolades such as the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. In her final season, she averaged 9.9 points, 5.1 assists, and 4 rebounds per game while improving her 3-point shooting to 39.8%. After being drafted, Johnson expressed eagerness to learn from the Fever's veteran players, emphasizing the team's winning culture. The Fever will kick off their season on May 9, 2026, against the Dallas Wings.
