Johnson totaled 17 points (5-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 loss to the Wisconsin Herd.
EDGE Analysis
Despite scoring in double figures in each of his last five games, Johnson is shooting just 32.2 percent from the field during that stretch.

In 16 games with Lakeland, the 26-year-old is averaging 24.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 34.5 minutes.

Johnson registered 31 points (7-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Saturday's 112-102 win over the College Park Skyhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson scored an efficient 31 points on just 15 shot attempts, in large part due to nine trips to the free-throw line. He also finished second on the team in rebounds and nabbed a game-high three steals. Johnson has scored 30-plus points in back-to-back games and appears poised to dominate for Lakeland in the second half of the G League season.

Orlando didn't re-sign Johnson after his 10-day contract expired Dec. 27, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was among the first wave of players the Magic added via hardship exemptions from the NBA when the team lost a number of roster members due to COVID-19-related absences. Before entering the health and safety protocols himself Dec. 26, Johnson appeared in four games and averaged 6.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in 16.0 minutes. Once he clears the protocols, Johnson will likely rejoin the Magic's G League affiliate in Lakeland.

EDGE Analysis
Johnson is still shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 33.9 percent from distance through 10 games with Lakeland, but he was unusually inefficient during Thursday's loss. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 24.7 points per game in the G League and was recently signed to a 10-day contract by Orlando, who is in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak.
