The Grizzlies waived Johnson on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was unable to secure a regular-season roster spot despite signing a contract with the Grizzlies earlier this week. He will now likely spend the 2024-25 campaign with the Memphis Hustle of the G League.

The Grizzlies have announced the signing of Johnson on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will add depth for the Grizzlies, but he's not likely to make the Opening Night roster. It's worth noting he hasn't played an NBA game since Dec. 2021.

Johnson (illness) logged nine points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and four rebounds across 15 minutes during the 905's 121-119 win over Grand Rapids on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for Johnson, he did not have to sit out multiple times because of his recent illness. But like they were against Grand Rapids, Jeff Dowtin and Ron Harper are expected to remain the 905's starting backcourt, leaving Johnson to create value for himself as a substitute.

Johnson did not play during Thursday's 905's 127-112 loss to Delaware because of an illness.
EDGE Analysis
A non-COVID illness prevented Johnson from participating in the 905's fourth game and first loss of March. Given the nature of his absence, it could be a relatively short stay on the sidelines.

Johnson logged 24 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during the 905's 104-87 win Saturday at Motor City.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was the 905's best scorer as they evened their 2023 record back to .500. Since the 2023 All-Star break's conclusion, he has averaged 15.6 points across his three G League games.

Johnson (groin) logged 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 30 minutes during the 905's 114-110 loss to Windy City on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for Johnson, the All-Star break helped prevent him from logging multiple absences because of his previous groin injury. Dalano Banton was assigned to the 905 before Wednesday, but Johnson is expected to continue being part of their starting lineup, at least until Jeff Dowtin is ready to play again after sitting out against Windy City.

Johnson did not play during Monday's 113-104 loss to Westchester because of a groin injury.
EDGE Analysis
A groin strain prevented Johnson from participating in the 905's latest game. Jeff Dowtin and a returning Sterling Brown are expected to continue being their starting backcourt if Johnson continues to be unavailable after the All-Star break.

Johnson logged 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during the 905's 126-117 loss to Maine on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Sterling Brown did not play because of a personal issue, so Johnson joined the 905's starting lineup Wednesday. He could hang onto an increased role if Brown misses any additional time.
