When the mid-season of the 2025 WNBA season rolled around, all the buzz was about the 2025 WNBA All-Star Weekend. However, once the event started, it moved too quickly to enjoy properly. With the Skills Challenge and 3-Point contest already done and dusted, where Natasha Cloud and Sabrina Ionescu took the win respectively, the only remaining event is the All-Star Game. While most fans are looking ahead to the game, the LSU Tigers\u2019 guard, Flau\u2019jae Johnson, can\u2019t wait to get it over with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While most players in college basketball eagerly wait to be eligible for the draft, Flau\u2019jae Johnson made the rare decision to continue playing for the LSU Tigers. Though eligible for the 2025 WNBA draft, the 21-year-old came back to play her senior season with the LSU Tigers. She said that the motivation to return to the Tigers was to win \u201cher own\u201d championship and to graduate as well.<\/p>\n
And now, as the league was supposed to showcase its brightest talents, the guard has posted a 5-word message on her X. Her tweet read, \u201cThat\u2019s enough Allstar for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s enough Allstar for me<\/p>\n
\u2014 Flaujae 4\ufe0f\u20e3 (@Flaujae) July 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Her tweet came as a surprise to many. With so much hype around this year\u2019s game with new rules and incentives to players, one would assume that Flau\u2019jae Johnson would also be excited for the game. While not confirmed, it could be due to the absence of Caitlin Clark due to a right groin injury. With Johnson admitting to having a close relationship with Clark<\/a>, she could be just like so many heartbroken fans who were eager to watch her play the game.<\/p>\n Further, when the Indiana Fever announced that the 23-year-old wouldn\u2019t be suiting up either for the 3-point contest or the 2025 WNBA All-Star game, it sent shockwaves through the hooping community and even impacted the event\u2019s commercial appeal. Before the guard\u2019s withdrawal, the ticket prices were commanding premium rates, where the cheaper seats started at $126 and the average resale prices reached $262. This happens to be the highest in WNBA history.<\/p>\n And as per FOX News, the cheapest ticket on TickPick plummeted to just $64, which marked a significant decrease of 48.4%. Now, it doesn\u2019t take a genius to figure out that the fans were clearly disappointed. And even the tweet from Johnson floated just hours before the big game.<\/p>\n While the disappointment may be real for Johnson, she sure is voicing nothing but sheer delight over the Dallas Wings guard.<\/p>\n ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below this ad<\/p>\n Flau\u2019jae Johnson dubs Paige Bueckers \u201cPaige Buckets\u201d<\/p>\n Flau\u2019jae Johnson and Paige Bueckers share a very close friendship that began during the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game.
