Indiana Fever guard Raven Johnson shared the WNBA’s Instagram post highlighting her best moments from this past season alongside two other top rookies.

The video features first-year standouts Olivia Miles of the Minnesota Lynx and Seattle Storm forward/center Awa Fam. Johnson completed the rookie trio.

Johnson reacted to the WNBA’s post by sharing the video on her Instagram stories.

“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.

Johnson played 39 games off the bench, averaging 3.1 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 10.9 minutes.

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.

Although she missed the 2026 WNBA All-Rookie Team, headlined by WNBA Rookie of the Year Miles, Johnson is expected to continue providing solid production for the Fever next season.
