Overview
- Johnson has started every game this season and is averaging about 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2.9 assists while logging heavy minutes for the last-place Storm.
- She recalled that during their first meeting on June 8, A'ja Wilson told her, “You are doing your thing,” a moment Johnson called surreal and evidence that elite players have noticed her play.
- Wilson used that same June 8 game to post 34 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists and to become the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 6,000 career points.
- Johnson scored a career-high 28 points on June 25 to help Seattle end an 11-game losing streak, one of the few bright spots in a season defined by an offseason roster reset and multiple injuries.
- Johnson says she wants to remain in Seattle long term, and her growth could form the core of the Storm’s rebuild as the team prioritizes development and chemistry over immediate wins.
