Johnson managed 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 125-114 loss to the Windy City Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was very inefficient with his shots Tuesday, but it was only marginally worse than his overall percentages of 37.4 from the field and 28.1 from deep this season. He's taking 7.4 three-pointers per game and making just 2.1 of them, but he is still managing 13.2 points per game for 905.

Johnson will start for the G League's Raptors 905 in their game Sunday versus the Lakeland Magic, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson is playing in the third game in a row for the 905 after totaling 18 points (on 7-for-21 shooting from the field), six rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in the team's previous two contests. Prior to rejoining the 905, Johnson had been sidelined while following the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Johnson is one of the Raptors' two two-way players, but he's expected to remain in the G League for the time being since the NBA club doesn't have a spot in the rotation available for him.

Johnson (calf) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will be available Wednesday, but his presence likely won't impact the Raptors' rotation. The rookie second-round pick has made just two appearances for Toronto this season.

Johnson (calf) has been downgraded to out for Friday's contest against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse said he expected Johnson to be available, but Johnson apparently needs more time off to recover from his left calf strain. His next chance to take the court is Sunday against the Knicks.

Coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Johnson (calf) is expected to play Friday against the Clippers, Aaron Rose of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed the last seven games with a left calf strain, but it appears as though he'll be back in action Friday. The Raptors had several players clear the league's health and safety protocols Thursday, so Johnson is unlikely to see considerable playing time.

Johnson (calf) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Sixers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson continues to nurse a strained left calf that will cost him a seventh straight game. He's only logged two total minutes for the Raptors this season, but the injury comes at a particularly bad time, as he likely would've been in line for increased minutes while the team battles an ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

Johnson (calf) didn't play Sunday in the Raptors' 144-99 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was one of 12 Toronto players who was sidelined Sunday, but the only one dealing with an injury; 10 are in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocol, while Goran Dragic (personal) was away from the team. The Raptors haven't provided much in the way of updates on Johnson's situation since he first picked up the injury in the second week of December, but his absence looms larger than it normally would due to the high number of players in the protocol.

Johnson (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Bulls, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Raptors are now up to 10 players who will not be available, so at this point it's fair to question if Wednesday's game will even go on as scheduled. If it does, the Raptors will be incredibly shorthanded and forced to rely on several replacement players.
