Johnson (foot) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Suns, Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was held out of Monday's game due to a sore left foot and the fact that he's being ruled out a day in advance of Wednesday's contest doesn't necessarily indicate he's nearing a return. His next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Rockets, though in the meantime, look for Jamil Wilson and Sam Dekker to pick up more minutes on the wing.

Johnson will not play Monday against the Spurs due to a left foot injury, Brad Turner of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injuries continue to pile up for the Clippers, who will now be without both Johnson and Lou Williams (ankle) on Monday, though they do expect to get Austin Rivers back from a concussion. With Johnson out, expect Jamil Wilson and Sam Dekker to each pick up increased minutes on the wing.

Johnson scored 24 points (8-10 FG, 6-7 3PT) in a 116-103 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday,.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson has been sneaky good since Danilo Gallinari went down, as he's taken the starting small forward role by the ears. Over his last four games, Johnson is averaging 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.0 blocks and 1.8 steals per game. The most important stat is the fact that he's playing nearly 34 minutes per game in that four-game span. If he's going to play that much, Johnson will remain fantasy relevant with his defensive statistics alone.

Johnson will start at small forward for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Paul Garcia of Project Spurs reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers are set to be without Danilo Gallinari (hip) on Tuesday, so Johnson will take his spot in the starting five at small forward. Johnson should see a significant bump in playing time from the 18.6 minutes per game he's averaged so far this season, providing him a temporary boost in value. That being said, he'll still likely be nothing more than a three-point specialist during his stint in the top unit.

Johnson contributed 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes in Friday's 111-104 preseason loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward drew another start with the Clippers first team taking a seat for the night. Johnson closed out the preseason with back-to-back double-digit scoring efforts and was hot from the field for the entirety of the exhibition slate. He'll look to carry over the momentum into what should be a consistent second-team role during the regular season.

Johnson tallied 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 31 minutes in Thursday's 104-87 preseason win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson drew the start at small forward with Danilo Gallinari (foot) sitting and posted his second double-digit scoring effort of the preseason. The eight-year veteran has shot no less than 60.0 percent and has been especially impressive from long distance this preseason, going 8-for-9 from three-point range. Johnson could certainly see a bump in the career-low 11.9 minutes he saw last season and offers some serviceable production across the stat sheet relative to playing time.

Johnson will draw the start at small forward for Sunday's preseason matchup against the Trail Blazers, Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Clippers are holding out Danilo Gallinari (foot) on Sunday, which allows Johnson to jump into the top unit in his place. However, Gallinari doesn't appear to be in danger of missing regular-season action, so Johnson's stay in the starting lineup should be short-lived. Johnson averaged just 11.9 minutes per game last season and likely won't be in line for a huge bump in playing time this year due to Gallinari's addition in the offseason.

Johnson submitted two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes in a 116-102 win over the Celtics on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
After being dropped from the rotation Feb. 24 against the Spurs, Johnson has steadily regained playing time while appearing in each of the last five games. He's now seen double-digit minutes in two straight games, though that's probably the ceiling for Johnson's court time while the Clippers remain at full strength on the wing. Johnson is averaging a career-low 3.1 points in 12.6 minutes per game for the season.

Johnson posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block, four steals and one turnover across 19 minutes during a 99-84 win over the Hawks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's 19 minutes were the most he's recorded over the last nine games, which speaks to the smaller role he's held throughout the season despite opening the 2016-17 campaign as a candidate to start at small forward. His 11-point, four-rebound effort could be enough to garner a few extra minutes following the All-Star break, although it's seem more realistic he'll be stuck in a minor bench role, as he had yet to log more than 11 minutes in February prior to Wednesday's contest.

Johnson returned from his personal leave to play 11 scoreless minutes in Thursday night's loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was absent from Monday's game against the Thunder to attend to the birth of his child. In rejoining his teammates Thursday, Johnson missed his lone shot attempt, gathered two steals and had one rebound. With the injury-hit Clippers short on bodies, Johnson could see his playing time elevated beyond the usual 13.5 minutes per night, but it's hard to take too much stock in someone averaging 3.1 points and 3.3 rebounds right now.
