The Heat recalled Johnson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will rejoin the parent club, though it is unclear whether he'll stick around for its first game back after the All-Star break against Toronto on Feb. 21. The 23-year-old has received little playing time in the NBA of late. However, he is averaging 18.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks across 35.6 minutes per game in 22 G League outings.

Johnson (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson doesn't have a big role in the rotation and isn't expected to see many minutes unless the game turns into a blowout. Thus, Johnson's availability shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

Johnson is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to left shoulder inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being listed as available all day, Johnson is now in danger of missing Tuesday's contest due to left shoulder inflammation. However, Johnson hasn't played more than two minutes in Miami's last five outings, so his potential absence shouldn't affect the team's rotation.

The Heat recalled Johnson from the G League's Sioux Falls Skyforce on Wednesday. He then closed with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 12 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson made just his fourth NBA appearance Thursday and posted career-highs in points, rebounds, assists, blocks and minutes. If the relationship between Jimmy Butler and the Heat continues to sour, Johnson could receive increased playing time moving forward.

The Heat will convert Johnson from a two-way contract to a standard, two-year NBA contract prior to Thursday's game against the Magic, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fellow two-way player Dru Smith had been viewed as a frontrunner to fill the open spot on the 15-man roster at some point, but he suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon in Monday's win over the Nets. The Heat will instead award the open spot to Johnson, an undrafted rookie out of Arizona who has played 14 total minutes over three appearances at the NBA level this season. Johnson has been a standout performer in the G League for the Sioux Falls Skyforce, averaging 21.2 points (on 55.2 percent shooting from the field), 8.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 34.9 minutes per contest.

Johnson provided two rebounds in six minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson suited up for just the second time in his young career, albeit for just six minutes during garbage time. While he has been putting up encouraging numbers in the G League, it took two blowouts for Johnson to enter the rotation. At this point, it appears as though he is going to continue to be someone who is utilized sparingly, if and when the situation calls for it.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said Monday that Johnson (ankle) will be ready for training camp, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson missed some action during the Summer League with a sprained ankle, but he's not expected to have any limitations in camp. Johnson has a two-way contract with the Heat and is expected to get a lot of reps with the Skyforce in the G League.
