Johnson logged 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes during the 905's 135-126 win Saturday at Wisconsin.
EDGE Analysis
The 905 decided to switch their lineup Saturday, with backup Johnson and starter Ron Harper changing spots. Both benefited from the changes. Each guard scored 22 points without shooting poorly, and there is a chance Johnson's new role could stick.

Johnson (back) compiled two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT) over 13 minutes Friday versus Maine.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson hasn't been a particularly big scorer for 905 this season, averaging 5.9 points per contest, but his three field-goal attempts fell well below his average of 7.1 per contest on the year. He should see a bit more action and take more shots moving forward, assuming he can remain healthy.

Johnson didn't play Monday versus the Swarm due to a lower back injury.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed a bit of time earlier in the season due to injury and illness, but each of his stays on the sideline has been brief. It remains to be seen if his back issue will cost him additional time.

Johnson (illness) compiled three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, an assist and a block over 13 minutes Monday versus Long Island.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from beyond the arc over his first four appearances, but he does add in a little bit in the other categories to bolster his stat lines. Either way, his role appears to be smaller at 15.0 minutes per game than the 32.1 he saw in his nine appearances with Raptors 905 last season.

Johnson dididn't take the floor during Friday's game versus the Blue Coats due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
Given the reason for Johnson's absence, it doesn't seem like he will be sidelined for too long. He's averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 15.5 minutes per game in his three appearances with the team this season.

Johnson (undisclosed) finished with two points (1-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block over 15 minutes Tuesday versus the Swarm.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed the previous game while rehabbing an injury, but he wasn't out long. Unfortunately, he struggled with his shot in the contest, which has been the case all season, shooting just 16.7 percent from beyond the arc and 36.4 percent from the field.

Johnson didn't take the floor Thursday against the G League Knicks while rehabbing an injury.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson did play 12 minutes in the season opener, so it's unclear if he's suffered a new injury or if this was simply a night off to rest a previous issue. Either way, the phrasing of the issue doesn't sound particularly serious.

The G League's Raptors 905 announced Monday that Johnson has been included on the club's training camp roster.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, a 2021 second-round draft pick, spent his entire rookie campaign in the Raptors organization as a two-way player. He made only two appearances at the NBA level in 2021-22 and wasn't retained in free agency this offseason, though Toronto elected to sign and waive him Oct. 15 in order to retain his G League rights, per Aaron Rose of SI.com. For the second year in a row, Johnson is poised to see most of his playing time in the G League, though he no longer possesses a spot on the NBA roster.
