The Indiana Fever made an intentional choice to draft Raven Johnson to bulk up their guard depth heading into the 2026 season. Little did they know how much drama it would stir up.
In the wake of Indiana taking Johnson with the No. 10 pick in the WNBA draft, a viral moment between her and Clark has resurfaced. It dates back to their college hooping days, when Johnson played for South Carolina and Clark repped Iowa in the national semifinal of the 2023 NCAA tournament. On a Gamecocks’ possession, Clark was seen waving off Johnson as she dribbled the ball at the top of the arc, leaving the South Carolina guard wide open and unashamedly daring her to shoot. Clark and the Hawkeyes ended up beating South Carolina to advance to the final, with that one moment going down in history in NCAA lore.
