The Pacers will waive Johnson on Wednesday, Tony East of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will lose his spot on the 15-man roster to clear room for guard Kira Lewis, whom the Pacers acquired from the Pelicans on Wednesday as part of their three-team deal for Pascal Siakam. Lewis will be re-routed back to Toronto, but the Pacers will still need to temporarily clear room for him by waiving Johnson to facilitate the trade. Johnson signed with the Pacers on Dec. 14 but averaged just 4.8 minutes across five appearances since joining the team.

The Pacers signed Johnson to a one-year contract Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson made 18 appearances for Indiana in 2022-23 and averaged 2.8 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes. While the veteran forward is unlikely to be a significant member of the team's rotation, Johnson can provide experience to a young Pacers squad.

Johnson had six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 122-115 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson played meaningful minutes in the loss, a true indication that the Pacers are done for the season. Unfortunately, he was a minus-15 in a game they lost by seven, providing very little in terms of tangible production. The Pacers' final game of the season is against the Knicks on Sunday, providing Johnson with his last opportunity to break a sweat before going into hibernation once again.

The Pacers re-signed Johnson on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was waived by Indiana to make room for a trio of players coming over in a deal with Milwaukee ahead of the trade deadline. The Pacers have opted to bring back the veteran forward a few days later, but their roster currently sits at 17 players, meaning they'll have to make some corresponding moves to reach the 15-player threshold.

Johnson was waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Tony East of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson hasn't been part of Indiana's rotation recently, and he'll part ways with the club after the Pacers acquired several players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Even if Johnson is able to land a roster spot elsewhere, he's unlikely to see a significant role.

Johnson isn't starting Friday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson got a spot start Wednesday, as Myles Turner (back) was a late scratch, but the veteran forward will retreat to his usual reserve role Friday. Johnson likely won't garner a large enough role against Atlanta to be fantasy relevant.

Johnson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is an unexpected addition to the starting lineup Wednesday, as Myles Turner (back) is a late scratch. The veteran forward hasn't played since Dec. 27.

Johnson chipped in two points (1-3 FG) and one block over seven minutes during Monday's 113-93 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson saw playing time for just the eighth time this season and for the first time in almost a month. This was a true garbage-time special, with a host of other benchwarmers joining Johnson on the floor to close the game. His days of being a fantasy-relevant player are behind him, so Johnson can safely be ignored in all formats.

Johnson (elbow) will suit up for Friday's matchup against Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Although it's certainly positive to see Johnson available for the contest, he's slated to see very few minutes, if any, considering he's appeared in only seven contests this season. However, more frontcourt minutes could be up for grabs Friday considering Isaiah Jackson (knee) is out.

Johnson is questionable to play in Friday's game versus Washington due to a right elbow sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was available to play Wednesday but didn't log any minutes. Even if Johnson plays Friday, his average of 8.9 minutes across seven games this season is unlikely to generate much fantasy value.
