Flau'jae Johnson's music career has helped her become the top NIL player in women's basketball
Flau’jae Johnson slowly made it to the top-5 list in terms of NIL valuation within the women’s basketball landscape last season. However, as she made strides in her music career this season, the crafty guard has clinched the top NIL spot.
Johnson overtook Paige Bueckers for the No. 1 spot, with an estimation of $1.5 million. Bueckers' NIL is currently calculated at $1.4 million.
The two women’s basketball stars had a back-and-forth this summer, where Bueckers reclaimed the top spot. However, Flau'jae Johnson saw a rise in her NIL early in October, slightly surpassing Bueckers again.
However, the numbers can change soon. According to On3, Johnson’s latest deal was with JBL Audio in August. Bueckers sealed a partnership with Panini America on Nov. 19.
