Johnson recorded 25 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson notched a new career-high scoring mark and led Brooklyn in this tight loss to the Spurs. The former Tennessee standout has been starting in recent weeks due to the team's lack of depth in the backcourt, including the injuries to players such as Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Ziaire Williams (knee), but Johnson is making the most of the opportunity. He's scored in double digits in four of his last seven starts.

Johnson finished with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson recorded a season-high three steals, a number he's reached four times in his career. The Nets were shorthanded Monday due to Dorian Finney-Smith (calf) being out, but Monday's line is something to keep in mind with the Nets rumored to be sellers at the trade deadline. Johnson is certainly on the deep-league radar going forward.

Johnson finished Saturday's 105-94 loss to the Jazz with eight points (3-14 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Ziaire Williams (knee) sidelined, Johnson continues to start for the Nets but has yet to fully take advantage of the situation. Having now started seven consecutive games, Johnson has scored double-digits only once, producing 43 total points in that time. Although there is a chance he continues to start, at least for the foreseeable future, Johnson is unlikely to be a leading producer, especially once the team is healthy.

Johnson logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Friday's 135-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson scored in double digits for the first time since moving to the starting lineup Dec. 2, and this was certainly a step in the right direction after struggling with his shot in recent games. In his four starts, Johnson is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 31.3 percent from the floor, so he needs to improve in the efficiency department to boost his fantasy stock.

Johnson will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will receive his first start as a member of the Nets, with his last start coming in the 2021-22 campaign with Portland. Across his last five outings, the 22-year-old guard averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest while shooting 39.1 percent from the field.

Johnson totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 100-92 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson saw north of 30 minutes off the bench, using that time on the court to finish as one of four Nets players with a double-digit point total while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals as well. Johnson has reached double figures in scoring in four outings this season, doing so in two straight contests while connecting on at least two threes in both of those outings.

Johnson provided 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson got hot from beyond the arc in this one, resulting in his first double-digit scoring night since Nov. 1 against the Bulls. However, playing time has been hard to come by for Johnson in the early stages of the 2024-25 season, as he's averaging 13.3 minutes through his first 11 appearances of the campaign. That could change if he's able to stack decent performances like this one, but until then, production will be difficult to rely on.

Johnson totaled 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in nine minutes during Friday's 120-112 victory over Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Despite playing just nine minutes during Friday's win, Johnson managed to connect on five of six field-goal attempts and tied Nic Claxton as the Nets' third-leading scorer behind Cam Thomas (32) and Cameron Johnson (14). K. Johnson has cracked 10-plus minutes just twice this season while coming off the bench, but he could see more playing time Sunday against Detroit if Ben Simmons (back) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) are unable to play.

Johnson was issued a second technical foul and was ejected from Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson got into a verbal altercation with Ja Morant midway through the second half and was issued his second technical foul. Johnson will finish the contest with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, an assist and a steal across 16 minutes off the bench.

Johnson (ankle) will play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Philadelphia, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson returns to action after missing Monday's preseason contest versus Washington due to a mild ankle sprain. Johnson will have extra opportunities for playing time due to Ben Simmons (rest) and Killian Hayes (hip) being inactive Wednesday.
