Chris Johnson is expected to sign a 10-day contract with the Kings. Johnson still has to pass a physical, but he is expected to join the Kings on Thursday for their upcoming three-game trip. Even though Johnson is in game shape from his most recent stint with Zhejiang Guangsha of China, he isn't expected to see much playing time upon signing and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Former Timberwolves PF Chris Johnson signed with Zhejiang Guangsha in China. Johnson played in 30 games for the Wolves last season, averaging just under ten minutes per appearance. The Wolves waived him on October 26, 2013.

Chris Johnson added 15 pounds of muscle to his frame this offseason. It was a goal of Johnson to get to 230 over the summer and it would appear he reached his goal with plenty of time to spare. Johnson has a guaranteed minimum contract for the upcoming season, but doesn't figure to get much playing time while the Wolves are healthy.

The Wolves have fully guaranteed Chris Johnson's minimum-salary contract for 2013-14. Johnson was signed out of the D-League for emergency frontcourt depth in January, and his early guarantee could influence Minny's decision on Greg Stiemsma's $2.7 million team option. Rick Adelman praised Johnson's quickness and athleticism, but he reiterated that Johnson (6'11", 210 lbs.) needs to get stronger.

Rick Adelman said that Chris Johnson "has to get stronger" before next season. Johnson's deal for next year is non-guaranteed, so if he's looking to make the team out of training camp, he's going to have to come in and really impress. Johnson is nearly seven feet tall, but he's listed at just 210 pounds and that is an issue when he has to defend bigger bodies down low.

Chris Johnson started the second half against the Lakers on Thursday and finished with five points, two boards, one assist, one steal and one block in 18 minutes. Nikola Pekovic is out with an abdominal strain and Johnson figures to benefit the most. He's a capable shot blocker with 0.6 per game in just 11.0 minutes and is also shooting 68.3 percent from the field this year. He's only worth a look in very deep leagues and holds a little more value than Greg Stiemsma (two points, one board and no blocks in 13 minutes) unless blocks are at a premium.

Chris Johnson, who is on a 10-day deal that expires on Friday, is reportedly in discussions to sign a contract to remain with the Timberwolves for the 2013-14 season. If Johnson does sign on for next season, it will probably be a non-guaranteed deal so the team can have him in training camp.
