Raven Johnson, a standout guard from South Carolina, was selected as the 10th overall pick by the Indiana Fever in the 2026 WNBA draft. This selection reunites her with Caitlin Clark, a notable rival from their 2023 NCAA tournament encounter, where Clark famously waved off Johnson during a critical moment. Johnson has shared her struggles with mental health following that incident, describing how online bullying almost led her to quit basketball. However, she turned adversity into motivation, leading her team to victory over Clark’s Iowa in the 2024 national championship. The Fever's coaching staff, including coach Stephanie White, expressed their enthusiasm for Johnson's addition to the team. Johnson is eager to learn from experienced players like Aliyah Boston, emphasizing the importance of professional habits in her development.
