Johnson (illness) returned to the court for Monday's 111-117 win over the Raptors, posting seven points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was held out of Thursday's game against the Celtics with an illness, but after some additional rest and recovery over the weekend, he was able to give it a go Monday and had a very efficient showing off the bench. That said, it was the fourth straight game Johnson has logged minutes in the teens, which appears to be his expected workload moving forward as long as Joel Embiid is healthy and in the lineup. That sort of playing time means Johnson will only be fantasy relevant for those in deeper leagues.

Johnson (illness) won't play Thursday against the Celtics, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is still dealing with a stomach bug that first surfaced Wednesday and will miss his first game since Nov. 18 as a result. His absence clears the way for Richaun Holmes and Trevor Booker to pick up a few extra minutes off the bench. Following Thursday's game, the 76ers won't play again until Monday versus the Raptors, so there's a good chance Johnson will be healthy by that time.

Johnson wasn't in attendance for the 76ers' practice Wednesday due to an illness, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 76ers will likely reevaluate Johnson at morning shootaround Thursday before determining his availability for their game later that evening against the Celtics, with whom he spent the past two seasons. With starting center Joel Embiid returning from a one-game absence due to hand and back issues to play in each of the 76ers' last three contests, Johnson has seen fewer than 20 minutes in all of those outings.

Updating a previous note, Johnson will now come off the bench Wednesday against the Spurs, Tom Moore of the Bucks County Courier Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Sixers initially confirmed that Johnson would start in place of Joel Embiid (hand), but Embiid, who was initially ruled out, will now play and start at his usual center spot. As a result, expect Johnson to play his usual, modest role of 13-18 minutes off the bench. Johnson closed December averaging 16.1 minutes per game.

Johnson will start at center for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

The Sixers reported earlier Wednesday that Johnson was expected to start if Joel Embiid (hand) couldn't play. Embiid has now been ruled out, so Johnson has officially been named his replacement in the starting five. Johnson hasn't necessarily been an overly attractive fantasy option when starting, however, posting averages of just 7.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 19.6 minutes in eight starts.

Johnson will draw the start at center for Wednesday's contest against the Spurs in the event that Joel Embiid (hand), who is doubtful, does not play, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

This has been the usual scenario for the 76ers lately, with Johnson starting when Embiid sits. In eight starts this season, Johnson has averaged 7.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 19.6 minutes per game.

Johnson will head back to the bench for Sunday's game in Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hits the bench with Joel Embiid (rest) returning to the starting lineup. In the rare start, Johnson managed to post eight points, five rebounds, five assists and one steal, but his role will likely be scaled back Sunday.

Johnson will start at center in Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson gets the start in place of the resting Joel Embiid. The veteran's season high in minutes is 24, and even with the starting nod Saturday, he'll likely have trouble reaching that mark in Denver.

Johnson, with Joel Embiid (back) returning to the starting five, will come off the bench for Saturday's contest against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will revert back to his usual role. On the year, he's averaging 4.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 15.5 minutes per game.

Johnson will start Monday's game against the Bulls, Brian Seltzer of Sixers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran will get the nod at center as the Sixers rest Joel Embiid on the front end of a back-to-back set. Johnson played only seven minutes in the Sixers' three-OT loss to the Thunder on Friday, his lowest total in any game this season. Expect the 30-year-old to see a boost in playing time Monday, though he's still a relatively unattractive DFS play given his limited offensive repertoire.
