Historic Signing: “The Tall Twins” Flau’jae Johnson and Kateri Poole Ink Groundbreaking Deal with Indiana Pacers Franchise
June 30, 2025 | Indianapolis, IN — In a landmark moment for women’s basketball and professional sports, the Indiana Pacers organization has officially signed rising stars Flau’jae Johnson and Kateri Poole — affectionately known as “The Tall Twins” — to groundbreaking contracts, marking a pivotal step toward the integration of women athletes within major men’s sports franchises.
The announcement, finalized earlier today at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, is being hailed as a bold and progressive move that not only redefines the boundaries of basketball but also strengthens the Pacers’ ongoing commitment to diversity, innovation, and empowerment within the sport.
A New Chapter in Basketball History
Johnson and Poole, both former collegiate standouts known for their electric chemistry, commanding court presence, and outspoken leadership, are already fan favorites across the country. Though not biological twins, their near-telepathic on-court synergy and unbreakable bond have earned them the nickname “The Tall Twins” — a moniker that has now become a brand in its own right.
The duo first captured national attention during their NCAA careers, with Flau’jae Johnson dazzling fans with her dual talent as a guard-forward hybrid and an award-winning rapper, while Kateri Poole showcased unmatched defensive tenacity and clutch-time decision-making. Together, they formed one of the most formidable backcourts in recent memory.
Now, they’re poised to make history — again.
Breaking Barriers in the NBA Ecosystem
The contracts signed today are not only significant for the players but also mark an unprecedented collaboration between women athletes and a historically male NBA franchise. While details of the contract remain confidential, sources close to the organization confirm that the deal includes multi-year terms, brand collaborations, and leadership roles within community outreach and youth development programs.
“This is not just a signing — it’s a statement,” said Kevin Pritchard, President of Basketball Operations for the Pacers. “Flau’jae and Kateri bring more than athleticism; they bring inspiration, culture, and a vision for what the future of basketball can be. We’re honored to have them wear our colors.”
