Johnson is out Saturday against the Pelicans due to an illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is a late scratch and will miss his first game since Dec. 18. In his absence, more minutes could be available for Blake Griffin and Paul Millsap.

Johnson (COVID_19 protocols) will be available for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been in the health and safety protocols for the past 10 days, but he's now cleared them and will be available to play Christmas Day in Los Angeles. The 34-year-old could have an increased role for Brooklyn with Kevin Durant and LaMarcus Aldridge still sidelined in the protocols.

Johnson entered health and safety protocols Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is one of five Nets who will be out for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19 protocols. The frontcourt is particularly, thin, with LaMarcus Aldridge and Paul Millsap also among that group, so all of the Nets' remaining healthy bigs should be set to see an increased workload for the next few games.

Johnson ended with four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds and five assists over 23 minutes during Sunday's 116-104 victory over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Although not a direct complement to the position, Johnson was inserted into the starting lineup due to James Harden's rest day, causing DeAndre' Bembry and Patty Mills to switch places. He wasn't on the court for long, as Blake Griffin spelled him late in the first quarter. He was also not present in the lineup for the entire fourth quarter.

Johnson is starting against the Pistons on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets are having James Harden rest Sunday. So like they did to rest Kevin Durant last Wednesday, Johnson is starting again. The latter played 19 minutes during his previous start.

Johnson will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Kevin Durant resting on the second half of a back-to-back, Johnson will move into the lineup at one forward spot for his first start of the season. Johnson played 25 minutes Tuesday night at Dallas, finishing with 12 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Johnson ended Tuesday's 102-99 win over the Mavericks with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson came off the bench and delivered a strong performance against his former team, registering his second-best scoring output of the campaign. He has scored at least 10 points in just three games this season, but the fact that all of those three contests have come across his last seven appearances is a positive sign going forward.

Johnson (shoulder) will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson sat out Saturday's loss to the Bulls, but he will be back in action Tuesday. On the season, the veteran forward is averaging 4.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 17.1 minutes per game.

Johnson (shoulder) is out Saturday against the Bulls, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been seeing 24.1 minutes per game across the past seven, so his absence is significant for Brooklyn. In his stead, more minutes could be in store for Paul Millsap and Blake Griffin.

Johnson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left shoulder soreness, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was a late addition to the injury report due to his shoulder issue. If he's unable to suit up against Chicago, Paul Millsap and Blake Griffin will likely see increased run in the frontcourt.
