Johnson was waived by the Bucks Saturday, Michael Scotto of The Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been buried on the Bucks' depth chart throughout training camp, thus rendering this decision unsurprising. Outside of five games with the Pelicans last season, Johnson spent the majority of his time in the D-League. He figures to head there again as he awaits another opportunity.

Johnson will start Saturday in the Bucks' matchup with the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will draw his start of the preseason on Saturday. He figures to see a minutes increase as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Johnson signed a training camp deal with the Bucks on Saturday, Michael Scotto of Sheridan Hoops reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson inked a pair of 10-day deals from the Suns and Pelicans last season, but was unable to stick around very long with either squad. In seven combined appearances, Johnson averaged 3.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.4 minutes per game while shooting 26.5 percent from the field. Johnson faces long odds of cracking the Bucks' roster due to his lack of a guaranteed contract, but he'll at least provide some depth on the wing during training camp. In the event that he gets cut, Johnson is expected to head to the Chinese National Basketball League after signing with a club there in July.

Johnson recently agreed to a contract with a team in China's National Basketball League, international basketball writer David Pick reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson appeared in seven games with the Suns and Pelicans last season, but wasn't able to parlay either of his 10-day deals with those clubs into a longer-term contract. He should be in line for a bigger payday by moving over to China, but will need to play well there before resurfacing in the NBA.

Johnson wasn't re-signed by the Pelicans on Sunday after his 10-day contract with the team expired, Brett Dawson of the New Orleans Advocate reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pelicans effectively replaced Johnson with fellow 10-day signee Tim Frazier, who has scored in double figures in each of his first three games with the team. During his short stay with the Pelicans, Johnson appeared in five games, during which he averaged two points on 23.5 percent shooting to go with 1.2 rebounds over 10.8 minutes.

Johnson will get the start Wednesday against Charlotte, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson just finalized a 10-day contract on Tuesday, and he'll be thrust into action immediately, as the Pelicans find themselves shorthanded in the backcourt due to a number of injuries. Considering the situation, Johnson, who appeared in two games for the Suns earlier this season, could see major minutes in his Pelicans debut.

Johnson will sign a 10-day contract with the Pelicans, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson's last NBA action came in mid-February with the Suns, and it looks like the Pelicans will give him a chance to showcase any possible value. With Eric Gordon (finger) and Tyreke Evans (knee) both out, he could even see a meaningful amount of minutes in the short-term if Norris Cole (back) misses any time.

Johnson's 10-day contract with the Suns expired on Tuesday, Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't sound like the Suns are interested in retaining Johnson, who will become a free agent after averaging eight points and 4.5 rebounds over 23.5 minutes in his two appearances with the club. By letting Johnson go, the Suns will open up a spot on their roster, which should come in handy leading up to the trade deadline, as the team figures to be one of the more active clubs on the market.

Johnson submitted nine points (3-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks, and one steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Interim coach Earl Watson ran a tight eight-man rotation Wednesday, but Johnson made the cut and was able to churn out a productive outing while seeing much of his action against the Warriors' second unit. While the rebound and block totals were nice to see from the guard spot, Johnson will probably need to shoot better from the field if he hopes to earn a permanent rotation spot. The 26-year-old's 10-day contract with the Suns will conclude during the All-Star break, so the Suns will have until their Feb. 19 game against the Rockets to decide if they want to re-sign Johnson.

Free agent guard Orlando Johnson will be playing for the Warriors Summer League team in Las Vegas. Indiana waived Johnson during his second season with the club, after which he played on two 10-day contracts for the Kings. Orlando has compiled career averages of 3.2 points, and 1.7 rebounds, and he will look to make his case a depth guy during this year's Summer League.
