Johnson signed a contract with the Magic on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will join Orlando at the end of the preseason, so this deal is likely to secure his rights for the G League. The 25-year-old hasn't seen NBA action since 2019 with the Magic, when he averaged 8.3 minutes across 10 games.

Johnson had 23 points (7-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Saturday's win over Canton.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was one of Long Island's most consistent scorers during the four-week G League bubble and posted excellent results in almost every game, even if his shooting performances were subpar at best. Johnson averaged 18.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in the 2021 G League season.

Johnson mustered 22 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, an assist and a steal across 31 minutes in Thursday's win over the Hustle.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson continued to struggle from the field and once again delivered underwhelming percentages, but that hasn't stopped him from being a reliable scoring threat. He's averaging 18.1 points per game but is shooting a career-worst 41.6 percent from the field in 13 appearances.

Johnson had 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block across 36 minutes in Monday's overtime win over the Blue.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson continues to score with consistency in terms of figures -- he's scored in double digits in every game so far -- but is struggling to shot efficiently, as he has made under 45 percent of his field-goal attempts in each of his last seven contests. Johnson is averaging 17.8 points per game, but he will rely more on volume instead of accuracy to put up decent scoring numbers.

SF FA
Johnson registered 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes in Saturday's loss against Santa Cruz.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson had a rough night from the field and barely reached the 10-point mark even when his performance was far from his best showing in the bubble. Johnson has been a steady scoring presence for Long Island and averages 17.7 points per game, but he's struggling from the field and is sporting career-low marks in field-goal percentage (41.5 percent) and three-point percentage (30.2 percent) to date.

Johnson delivered 15 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and a steal across 29 minutes in Wednesday's win over Agua Caliente.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson extended his streak of games with at least 15 points to nine, meaning he's accomplished that feat in every one of his appearances to date. Through that nine-game span, the former La Salle star is averaging 19.9 points per tilt.

Johnson registered 19 points (3-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 31 minutes in Monday's win over the Ignite.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson struggled a bit from the field in this one, but he still came close to the 20-point mark -- something he had reached in the past two games and three times already. Johnson has scored at least 18 points in all but one of his appearances this season, and from a scoring point of view, he's been the Nets' most consistent performer -- even if his output in other categories isn't as high as it happens with other players.

Johnson registered 24 points (8-22 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's loss against Rio Grande.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been one of Long Island's most consistent scoring threats this season, scoring at least 20 points in three of his seven appearances while never scoring under 15 points in any game. His scoring output is heavily dependant on his volume of work, however, as he has shot under 40 percent from the field in three of his seven games to date. He is also shooting 45.0 percent from the field and 29.5 percent from three-point range -- both are career-worst marks for him at the G League level.

Johnson supplied 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal across 30 minutes in Wednesday's win over Westchester.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson fell just one point short of reaching the 20-point mark, but he's been a reliable scoring threat for Long Island thus far. He is averaging 18.8 points per game while shooting 50.8 percent from the field in five appearances.

Johnson registered 24 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, a steal and a block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's win over Iowa.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson paced the Nets in scoring and was one of two players that reached the 20-point plateau, but he didn't offer much aside from his scoring punch. That's going to be his role for the Nets going forward, though, and the fact that he made 10 appearances during the 2019-20 NBA season should bode well for his chances of making a big impact during the G League's four-week bubble.
