Johnson was recalled from the G-League on Sunday, Elliott Teaford of Southern California News Group reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has spent a large chunk of his season thus far in the G-League, playing in 17 games and averaging 11.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 block across 27.1 minutes. However, he'll earn the call-up to the big club ahead of Monday's game against the Hawks. The likelihood of Johnson seeing the floor in that contest is small and he's not someone to target for fantasy purposes considering he's yet to see double-digit minutes in a game with the Clippers this season.

Johnson was recalled from the G League's Agua Caliente Clippers on Sunday, Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was active for the Clippers' game Sunday against the Heat, but didn't play in the contest. He's appeared in just three of the Clippers' nine games to date, seeing no more than seven minutes in any of them.

Johnson posted 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 27 minutes in Friday's 111-104 preseason loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year forward had a quiet preseason until Friday, a game which marked his first with more than 12 minutes of playing time. Johnson made the most of his opportunity, putting in a particularly impressive performance on the boards. The 23-year-old had a minimal role in his rookie campaign, spending most of his time in the D-League and appearing in only three regular-season contests for the Clippers. That could potentially change during the coming season, although Johnson still has veterans Sam Dekker and Montrezl Harrell ahead of him on the depth chart at power forward.

Johnson was assigned to the D-League's Salt Lake City Stars on Sunday, Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has appeared in just two contests for the Clippers this season after missing the majority of the year with a herniated disc in his back. In those appearances, he's totaled two points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across seven minutes. He will likely continue to not be a part of the Clippers' rotation for the remainder of the season.

Johnson was recalled from the D-League on Monday, Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie out of North Carolina has appeared in only one game for the Clippers after dealing with a herniated disc in his back, and he's highly unlikely to be an impact player at the NBA level over the final month of the regular season. In three games for the Salt Lake City Stars, Johnson posted averages of 9.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in 14.1 minutes.

Johnson was assigned to the D-League Salt Lake City Stars on Tuesday, Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has played only one game with the Clippers this season, logging three minutes and recording zero points and two rebounds. A large part of this lack of action has to do with a herniated disc Johnson suffered back in October, but he nevertheless will require some development before becoming a beneficial asset to the Clippers already-talented rotation. Look for Johnson to get some game action in the D-League and become more of a factor for the Clippers in coming years as opposed to this season.

Johnson (back) logged three minutes in Thursday's 123-113 loss to the Warriors, recording no points (0-1 FG) and two rebounds.
EDGE Analysis
After suffering a herniated disc in October, Johnson had spent the last four-plus months recovering from the injury, and the Clippers elected to activate the rookie for the first time all season following his involvement in practices the last few weeks. Though Johnson logged some spot minutes, it's unlikely he'll see regular run in competitive contests, especially now that Blake Griffin is back to full health. The Clippers could opt to send the 22-year-old to the D-League in the near future in an effort to get him more in-game experience.

Johnson (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, marking the first time all season he's been able to suit up, Brad Turner of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being inactive for every game prior to Thursday due to a herniated disc in his back, Johnson is getting a chance to suit up. There's a chance he'll be sent down to the D-League sooner than later to get his footing, but this is a promising sign for the rookie and the Clippers.

Johnson (back) took part in a scrimmage with the Clippers during practice Friday, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the first time since training camp, Johnson was cleared to take contact during five-on-five work with the team, an encouraging sign as he attempts to return from a herniated disc in his back. The Clippers haven't handed down a specific timetable for Johnson's return, but the involvement in Friday's session is encouraging nonetheless after three months of limited activity. Once he's cleared to play in games, Johnson figures to head to the D-League in order to get his conditioning back in order.
