Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 women’s basketball league launching this winter, signed LSU star guard Flau’jae Johnson to a name, image and likeness deal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Johnson is the second college player to ink an agreement with Unrivaled, following UConn’s Paige Bueckers. They won’t be participating in the upcoming inaugural season, but Johnson and Bueckers will have equity stakes in the league.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Unrivaled dropped a video on social media Thursday showing Johnson — who also has a burgeoning rap career — performing a song while wearing a shirt that reads, “The Future is Unrivaled.” The deal will see Johnson create additional promotional content for the league.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Johnson, 21, was a freshman on the LSU team that won the 2023 national championship.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Now in her junior year, Johnson is averaging career highs of 22.2 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game through 10 games for the No. 5 Tigers (10-0). She ranks eighth in Division I in scoring.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Johnson has career averages of 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in 82 career appearances (80 starts) for LSU.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
