The LSU women's hoops star chose not to declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft, according to a Wednesday report from The Athletic, bypassing the chance to begin her professional career a year early so she can play her final season of NCAA eligibility. League rules allow Johnson to declare for the draft because she will turn 22 years old later this year.

LSU star Flau'jae Johnson has decided not to declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft, according to The Athletic's Sabreena Merchant. Johnson will instead return for her senior season with the Tigers and attempt to improve on their back-to-back Elite Eight appearances.

Johnson, who was first-team all-SEC and third-team All-American this season, spent her first three seasons at LSU under head coach Kim Mulkey.
