UVA women’s basketball entered a period of uncertainty Saturday following the dismissal of head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton, leaving questions about how the roster would take shape.
Those questions began to be answered Monday as several players entered the NCAA transfer portal, headlined by junior guard Kymora Johnson, a Charlottesville native and one of the program’s most accomplished recent standouts.

Johnson averaged 19.5 points and 5.9 assists per game during the 2025–26 season, making her one of only three players nationally to meet both benchmarks. She played a central role in leading Virginia to its first NCAA Women’s Sweet Sixteen appearance since 2000, a milestone achievement for the program.
A two-time All-ACC first-team selection, Johnson also earned honorable mention All-America honors in consecutive seasons. Known for her scoring ability, court vision and leadership, her departure represents a significant loss for Virginia as the program navigates a coaching transition and prepares for the 2026–27 season.
