Johnson was let go by the Rockets on Friday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson seemingly couldn't impress the Houston brass enough to make the team. He last played in the NBA back in 2015-16, when he averaged 2.9 points per game.

Johnson is expected to sign a partially guaranteed contract with the Rockets on Friday, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

After spending his first four years in the league with five different organizations, Johnson was unable to find any suitors last season and spent the 2016-17 campaign in the G-League instead. While playing in 32 games with Rio Grande Valley, Johnson averaged 13.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steal across 31.8 minutes. The fact that Johnson only received a partial guarantee means he'll have to battle for a roster spot throughout training camp. That said, the 27-year-old forward may eventually have to settle for another year in the G-League or overseas.

The Jazz opted to waive Johnson on Saturday, David Locke of WeAreUtahJazz.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was buried on the depth chart throughout training camp, and never figured to have much of a shot at making the final roster. The 26-year-old will likely end up in the D-League, and look for another opportunity from there.

Johnson isn't expected to crack the Jazz's 15-man roster for the start of the regular season, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After second-round draft pick Joel Bolomboy was officially signed earlier this weekend, the Jazz now have 17 players under contract heading into training camp. Since the Jazz are particularly deep at the small forward spot after adding Joe Johnson to the ranks earlier this offseason, Chris Johnson, a minor role player last season, appears most at risk of missing out on a roster berth. Unless Johnson has an outstanding training camp, it's unlikely the Jazz will be anxious to clear room for him after he shot just 37.1 percent from the field across his 70 appearances in 2015-16.

Johnson averaged just over 12 minutes on the court in 70 appearances for Utah during the 2015-16 season.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson provided the Jazz with depth off the bench for much of the season while Gordon Hayward and Joe Ingles remaining relatively healthy for much of the year. At 25 years old, Johnson has already been deployed by five different NBA teams over his first four years in the league and could be in store for yet another destination next season as he heads into free agency this offseason. Regardless of where the former Dayton standout ends up, Johnson will likely assume a limited role yet again as an athletic small forward who struggles with shooting efficiency.

Johnson will draw the start Wednesday against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Rodney Hood will not play as he is nursing a sore back, which will result in a rare start for Johnson. In his only other start this season he posted 14 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 31 minutes. He will likely battle Trey Burke and Joe Ingles for minutes. It is unclear how long Hood will be sidelined with his back injury, so Johnson could potentially draw a few more starts if he remains out.

Johnson managed two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks, and one assist in 20 minutes during the Jazz's 104-94 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has appeared in 51 games this season, with averages of 3.1 points, two rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 13 minutes per contest. Part of the reason Johnson saw so many minutes on Wednesday could have been due to starter Rodney Hood (head) exiting the game. However, this was the 10th time that Johnson has earned 20 minutes or more this season.

Johnson (toe) tallied four points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, and two steals across 19 minutes in Thursday's 103-89 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was unable to finish out the Jazz's final game before the All-Star break back on Feb. 10 against the Pelicans due to a sprained right toe, but the extensive time off afforded him enough recovery. The 25-year-old is averaging 3.3 points and 3.3 rebounds across 16.1 minutes in seven February appearances.

Johnson suffered a sprained right big toe in Wednesday's game against New Orleans, Jody Genessy of the Deseret News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson limped out of the locker room and was taken for X-rays, which came back negative. The Jazz have the second leg of a back-to-back coming up Thursday night, so it seems unlikely that Johnson will be able to go against the Wizards. There is currently no timetable for his return.

Johnson scored 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) to go with five rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 19 minutes during the Jazz's 102-73 win versus the Hornets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been earning 18 minutes per game during the month of January, and he has also seen double digit minutes in 16 of his last 18 appearances. Johnson is unlikely to see his role increase much more than it has already, but he has enjoyed a steady flow of minutes since Alec Burks (ankle) got hurt towards the end of December.
