Johnson logged 19 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 25 minutes during Sunday's 124-113 loss to the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson continues to play off the bench for the Wizards since returning from a hip injury that sidelined him for seven games between Nov. 22 and Dec. 6. He's scored in double digits in three of those five contests, but this was one of his best scoring outputs to date. Johnson has scored in double digits in all but six of his 20 games this season.

Johnson supplied three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson had missed Washington's previous seven games with a left hip flexor strain prior to Friday night, and he showed signs of rust in his return to the hardwood. Friday marked his lowest scoring total of the 2025-26 season, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. Still, the Texas product didn't appear to be on any kind of minutes limit, and he should continue to see chances to contribute, particularly from beyond the arc.

Head coach Brian Keefe said Johnson (hip) will play on an unspecified minutes restriction in Friday's game against Cleveland, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will return from a seven-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain, though he won't see a full workload. The rookie first-rounder has appeared in 15 regular-season games (four starts) thus far, averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Johnson (hip) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has been out with a hip injury since late November, but he's all set to return Friday. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest across 15 games this season.

Johnson has a strained left hip flexor and doesn't have a timetable to return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Robbins notes that the usual timeline for an injury like this is two-to-four weeks. This is an injury Johnson dealt with in college, so it's fair to expect the Wizards to be extra cautious. With this news, more minutes could open up for guys like Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore.

Johnson (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson will miss his first game of the season due to left hip flexor soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Hawks. With the rookie sidelined, Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are candidates for increased minutes.

Johnson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left hip flexor soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson is in danger of missing his first game of the season after posting 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Washington's 140-110 loss to Toronto on Friday. After playing at least 20 minutes in 12 straight games to begin the campaign, Johnson has played fewer than 20 in three straight, so it's possible the hip issue has been bothering him for over a week.

Johnson posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Washington's 140-110 loss to Toronto on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough game all around for the Wizards during Friday's blowout loss, but Johnson led the bench with 14 points and finished second on the team in scoring behind veteran guard CJ McCollum (20 points). Johnson has scored in double digits in five of his last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals over 22.8 minutes per game while connecting on 43.8 percent of his three-point attempts on 4.6 3PA/G.

Johnson won't start Sunday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

With Bilal Coulibaly (calf) returning from a four-game absence, Johnson will slide to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the rookie has averaged 8.8 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 36.4 percent from the field in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Johnson totaled 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie out of Texas didn't have his best performance, but the Wizards' offense looked overmatched in this 23-point loss. Johnson opened the season in a bench role but has started in each of the Wizards' last four games, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that stretch. He should continue to have decent upside as long as he's starting in the absence of Bilal Coulibaly (calf). Johnson is enjoying decent volume, attempting 10 or more shots in three of those four starts.
