WNBA rookie Raven Johnson saw her role with the Indiana Fever decrease in recent weeks. Over the team's last seven outings, she averaged just 1.6 points on 3.3 minutes per game.
By comparison, Johnson averaged 14.7 minutes in her first 22 games with the team, recording 4.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in that span.
Despite the tough situation she's in, Johnson appears to be maintaining an optimistic attitude. In fact, on Sunday, she shared a personal update featuring photos of herself, mostly in her pregame outfits with the Fever.
"A lil bit of me," she wrote in the caption of her post.

Johnson's Fever teammates also continue to show her support, as seen in the comments section of her update.
Lexie Hull wrote, "Ooooolala." Meanwhile, Monique Billings praised her, saying, "10s all across the board."
Bree Hall and Grace VanSlooten also commented to show their admiration for Johnson.
One message that stood out, however, was from Sophie Cunningham. The WNBA veteran showed the rookie plenty of love in a heartwarming show of support.
"You're just the best," Cunningham wrote. "I love you."

It remains to be seen if Johnson will see an increase in her minutes and workload in the coming weeks. Whatever the case may be, it's clear that Cunningham and the rest of the Fever are behind her.
For what it's worth, head coach Stephanie White has not lost faith in Johnson either, as she praised her for being a pro.
Since she's a rookie, it's definitely hard to get her more minutes, especially as the team tries to fight for a top-four spot. With that said, Johnson is embracing her role and simply keeping herself ready when her number is called.
