"Year 1 roundup!🎞️ Take one last look at some of the best moments from our Year 1 rooks, Olivia Miles, Awa Fam and Raven Johnson, in our final Rookie Reels presented by @statestreetim_us SPY," the WNBA's caption read.
Selected as the 10th pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, Johnson established herself as a key rotational player for Indiana this season. She served as a solid backup for superstars Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell for the Fever's backcourt.

Beyond the stats, the two-time NCAA champion and 2026 SEC Defensive Player of the Year brought defensive intensity and playmaking in her maiden season for Indiana.
The 23-year-old also made an impact in the Fever's first-round playoff series against the Las Vegas Aces. Johnson averaged 7.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 20.7 minutes over three games against the Aces, including a 14-point explosion in Game 1.
