Fever rookie draws support from Angel Reese, Indiana teammates

Raven Johnson provided quality minutes off the bench for the Indiana Fever on Monday against the Phoenix Mercury.

The rookie logged four points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal in 18 minutes of action. It wasn’t exactly a breakout performance from the 5-foot-8 guard, but Johnson did enough to help lead Indiana to an 86-77 win.

The Fever needed this one. It was their first victory in three games after suffering back-to-back losses to Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.

Indiana improved to 10-7 as they continued their up-and-down campaign thus far. However, they remain third in the Eastern Conference, 2.5 games behind the top-seeded Dream.

Reese and Johnson faced off on the court multiple times during their college days, which eventually led to a close personal friendship. Their relationship continues to flourish now that Johnson has joined Reese in the WNBA.

Johnson’s Fever teammates also dropped their reactions.

“Linda ” reacted Damiris Dantas.

“Hi boo,” commented rookie Justine Pissott.

“It girl,” declared Tyasha Harris.

“uuuu sooo fly mamas ” Bree Hall said.

Johnson has played in all 17 of the Fever’s games so far this season. The Former South Carolina Gamecocks star is currently averaging 4.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 13.3 minutes per contest.
