- Update on Raven Johnson's Offseason Workout Emerges
Indiana Fever guard Raven Johnson has already made some significant progress in her offseason workouts.
Johnson had a rather up-and-down rookie year with the Fever. In her first 22 games of the season, she averaged 4.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 steals on 14.7 minutes per outing. In the next 17 games that followed, however, her playing time dropped to 6.0 minutes per contest, resulting in averages of 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.4 steals.

During the 2026 WNBA playoffs, Johnson saw an increased role following the injury to backup guard Ty Harris. In three postseason games, the rookie guard put up 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 steal.
That said, Johnson knew she had to improve her game if she wanted to have a bigger role with the Fever in 2027. The 23-year-old didn't waste any time, though, as she quickly got to work just a few weeks after Indiana's postseason exit.

Johnson has been training with player development coach Chris Hyppa, working mostly on her ball-handling, movement and shooting.

Furthermore, she has also been working with personal trainer and strength coach Luka Hocevar, who shared a video of Johnson doing band-resisted lateral jumps on Monday.
Hocevar also shared an update on Johnson's progress, saying that she's "getting twitchier, faster, stronger and more resilient every week."
It's certainly encouraging to see Johnson working to take her game to the next level. She was already a remarkable defensive player for the Fever in 2026, but her offense left much to be desired.

If Johnson can become more consistent offensively, she should be able to be more impactful for Indiana next season.
