Johnson (recently traded) will be available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Just because Johnson is available, that doesn't mean he will actually see the floor. The second-year guard was unable to carve out a role in Washington, and he's facing an uphill battle for playing time in Dallas too.

Johnson (recently traded) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was shipped off by the Wizards to the Mavericks on Wednesday, a trade highlighted by Anthony Davis (finger) being dealt to Washington. Johnson was not available for Thursday's loss to the Spurs but is trending toward playing in Saturday's rematch. The second-year pro is averaging just 8.6 minutes per game this season, and he faces an uphill battle for playing time with his new team.

Johnson is being sent to the Mavericks on Wednesday as part of the Anthony Davis (finger) deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Khris Middleton, Malaki Branham and Marvin Bagley will join Johnson in Dallas, while Davis, D'Angelo Russell (illness), Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum (knee) move to Washington. The Mavericks also received two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will add some depth to Dallas' backcourt, where he'll compete for minutes with the likes of Branham, Max Christie, Caleb Martin and Klay Thompson. Johnson has shown some flashes this season, but it's unclear how he'll factor into Jason Kidd's rotation, so managers in most leagues can watch this situation develop from the waiver wire. Johnson can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs while the trade finalizes.

Johnson supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 victory over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson saw his first action since Jan. 16 and didn't disappoint on the offensive end. He set a new season high by dropping 17 points, and he did so in an efficient manner. Johnson has yet to see this type of usage on a nightly basis, so while it's nice to see him have a breakout game, he's yet to carve out a consistent role in the team's rotation to this point.

Johnson (illness) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against Portland.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Saturday's road loss to Charlotte, Johnson is ready to suit back up for the Wizards on Tuesday. However, the second-year guard was available off the bench in Washington's prior three contests before becoming ill and didn't see the floor in any of them.

Johnson (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is available off the bench Thursday despite fighting through an illness. However, the 2024 first-rounder hasn't seen any action in Washington's past two contests, so Johnson doesn't figure to mix into the backcourt rotation in a meaningful capacity.

Johnson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Three members of the Wizards are questionable with an illness for Thursday, so an ailment appears to be spreading around the team. Johnson hasn't appeared in Washington's past two games and may not do so even if he's available against Denver.

Johnson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Saturday's 121-115 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Saturday, Johnson had appeared in 10 straight games for the Wizards, though he averaged just 11.0 minutes per contest while shooting 30.4 percent from the field over that stretch. Even though the Wizards were without Bilal Coulibaly (back) in the second leg of the back-to-back set, head coach Brian Keefe opted to keep both Johnson and Malaki Branham on the bench throughout the day while two-way player Jamir Watkins (21 minutes), Justin Champagnie (26 minutes) and Will Riley (16 minutes) operated as the backup wings/forwards in Washington's nine-man rotation. Keefe could opt to shake up the second unit in Monday's game against the Clippers, but Johnson's chances of regaining a role won't improve if Coulibaly is cleared to play in that contest.
