The Indiana Fever are shaping up to be one of the title contenders in the WNBA. Backed by the extraordinary talent of Caitlin Clark, Stephanie White’s team added Raven Johnson in the latest draft, who was full of praise for her new teammate.
“She is a phenomenal player,” Johnson said in a recent interview with Overtime. “I mean, with the things she does, it’s bar standard. She can shoot the ball, can lead a team, and they win. Like, she has a winning mentality. And I think that’s the biggest thing.”
Indiana has now added a new defensive option to the team, arguably one of the top prospects at this position in college basketball. Are the Fever one of the leading contenders for the title?
Confidence in Johnson
The former South Carolina Gamecocks player was selected with the 10th overall pick, something that even caught Amber Cox’s attention. Now, Johnson will have to repay her new team for the trust placed in her after being drafted.

“[Johnson’s] a competitor from one of the greatest programs from college basketball, and she’s won at the highest level,” said Fever COO and GM Amber Cox to the press. “We were just so pumped when she was available at No. 10. We know she’s going to come in here and compete really hard and create great depth in our backcourt rotation.”
Clark ready for revenge
After a frustrating 2025 season where a persistent groin injury limited her to just 13 games, Caitlin Clark is poised for a massive redemption arc in 2026. Having already proven her health by earning MVP honors at the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers earlier this year, the Fever star is now fully focused on reclaiming her dominance in the WNBA.
With her signature long-range shooting back on display, Clark’s comeback isn’t just about returning to the court—it’s about leading Indiana on the championship run that her injury cut short a year ago.
