The Los Angeles Sparks announced plans to build an all-new, $150 million practice facility in El Segundo, California, per a late-September release — marking the
www.si.comI don’t have live updates right now, but here’s what’s known about Magic Johnson’s son and the WNBA as of the latest publicly available information I could verify recently.
Direct answer:
- There has been a lot of social-media chatter and unofficial reports claiming EJ Johnson (Magic Johnson’s son) has appeared in the WNBA, but there is no widely corroborated, formal announcement from the WNBA, the New York Liberty, or the NBA/WNBA teams confirming an official regular-season roster spot at this time. If you’re seeing viral clips or posts, they may be from preseason scrimmages, showcases, or miscaptioned content, and should be treated with caution until verified by an official source.
Context and what to watch for:
- Official roster statuses for WNBA teams are typically announced by the team or the league via their channels (team website, app, and social accounts) and reported by reputable sports outlets. If EJ Johnson had joined a WNBA team, expect confirmation through a press release, team social post, or an authoritative report.
- Contemporary coverage of Magic Johnson’s broader involvement in sports (ownership interests, business ventures, and public statements) often surfaces in sports news cycles, but that coverage does not necessarily equate to EJ Johnson being on a WNBA roster. For example, discussions around WNBA valuations and ownership sometimes feature Johnson in commentary, not as a player roaster.
Representative sources you can check for the latest and most reliable updates:
- Official team or league announcements (New York Liberty, WNBA website, team social channels).
- Reputable sports outlets such as Sports Illustrated, ESPN, or Yahoo Sports for rosters and debut news.
- Reputable video platforms or press conference transcripts that may show EJ Johnson’s involvement, if any, with corrections if the content is speculative.
