Overview
- Unrivaled announced on Monday that Seattle Storm rookie Flau'jae Johnson signed a multiyear contract and will make her Unrivaled debut in the league’s third season in 2027.
- The league said Johnson’s specific team assignment will be revealed later, leaving Unrivaled to decide how to place new signees after last fall’s internal draft and recent expansion.
- Johnson arrives with a strong track record: she helped LSU win the 2023 national title, scored more than 2,000 college points, won 2025 AmeriCup gold with Team USA, and is averaging 11.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists through her WNBA rookie season.
- Her signing completes a path from Unrivaled’s 2025 'Future is Unrivaled' NIL class to a paid contract, joining other recent converts such as Olivia Miles and Gabby Williams who have also committed to the league.
- Unrivaled faces operational choices as it builds season three rosters, and the league’s push to lock WNBA rookies and veterans creates new offseason competition with circuits like Project B that are also recruiting top talent.
