The Long Island Nets announced Wednesday that Johnson will be a member of their 12-man roster for the 2020-21 G League season in Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
After making 10 appearances at the NBA level in 2019-20 as a two-way player for the Magic, Johnson linked up with the Heat on an Exhibit 10 deal this offseason. Miami ultimately chose not to keep him around for the start of the regular season and later dealt his G League rights to Brooklyn. The 25-year-old will now look to impress in Orlando with the hope of earning another two-way contract or a 10-day deal with an NBA team before the 2020-21 campaign comes to a close.

Johnson agreed to a contract with the Suns on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has played 17 total NBA games across the past two seasons between Orlando, Atlanta and Sacramento, and now he'll be in Phoenix. Most of his action has come in the G League, and last season, he averaged 22.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.9 assists -- being named to the All-NBA G League Second Team. The Suns are taking a flier on Johnson likely for development purposes, so we shouldn't expect him to see meaningful minutes this season.
