Johnson was selected to represent USA Basketball at the upcoming FIBA Women’s AmeriCup in Santiago, Chile. The 12-player roster was announced on Thursday by USA Basketball’s women’s junior national team committee. Johnson is one of five players who will make their competitive debut with USA Basketball.

Other players are Oklahoma senior center Raegan Beers, Iowa State junior center Audi Crooks, UCLA senior guard Gianna Kneepkens and Iowa senior forward Hannah Stuelke.

Last season, she averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 46.8% from the field for LSU. Johnson started all 34 games for LSU but was forced to miss the 2025 SEC tournament due to shin inflammation.

However, she returned for the NCAA Tournament and made an impact in LSU’s first-round win over San Diego State. The Tigers cruised to a 103–48 victory, as Johnson led the program in scoring with 22 points.

She delivered a career-high performance in the Elite Eight matchup against UCLA, scoring 28 points with 24 second-half points in a 72-65 loss.

As a freshman, Johnson helped lead the Tigers to the 2023 NCAA championship, averaging 11.0 ppg and 5.9 rpg and earning SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Last season, Johnson earned First-Team All-SEC and Third-Team All-American honors.

Mulkey is the only person in NCAA women’s basketball history to win national championships as a player, assistant coach and coach. Mulkey guided LSU to a national title in 2023, adding to her three championships with Baylor in 2005, 2012 and 2019.
