Moves back to bench Johnson isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus Texas A&M, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson and Ricky Council will be replaced by Makhi Mitchell and Makhel Mitchell in the starting five Friday. Johnson has come off the bench in all but four games this season.

Gets starting no Thursday Johnson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Auburn.

Impact Johnson has started three previous games this season, but is only averaging 2.0 points and 2.7 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per contest. Both the Mitchell brothers will go to the bench, but should still see a decent amount of time in the frontcourt against the Tigers.

Back to bench Johnson will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against LSU, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact The 6-7 forward will go back to his usual bench role for Tuesday's contest. Makhi Mitchell takes back the starting center position.

Plays 30 minutes Johnson ended with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT) and seven rebounds across 30 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 79-76 loss to Missouri.

Impact Johnson benefited from the absence of Makhel Mitchell (undisclosed). If his unavailable teammate continues sitting out, the senior will receive a lot more minutes and have an opportunity to greatly improve his stock.

Starting against Missouri Johnson will start when Arkansas hosts Missouri on Wednesday night.

Impact Johnson hasn't seen much playing time this season, entering Wednesday's contest with 13.1 minutes-per-game. However, he'll log his second start of the season and his first since the Razorbacks' opening game. Johnson is averaging 2.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists.

Arkansas aiming for Final Four in Musselman's fourth year

Coach Eric Musselman has led Arkansas to two straight Elite Eight apperances in the NCAA Tournament

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • Associated Press

Likely no restrictions Wednesday Coach Eric Musselman said Monday that Johnson (ankle) will be "completely available" for Wednesday's contest against Mississippi, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette...

Impact Johnson was a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's win over Texas A&M and ultimately suited up, but he played just one minute. While he's expected to be fully healthy heading into Wednesday, he likely won't garner a sizable role, as he's played double-digit minutes just twice this season.

Minimal playing time in win Johnson (ankle) ended Saturday's 76-73 overtime win over Texas A&M with no counting stats in one minute.

Impact Johnson was a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's matchup, and he saw minimal playing time following his two-game absence due to an ankle injury. He's had an inconsistent role while playing mainly off the bench this season.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Johnson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup with Texas A&M, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Johnson has missed two straight games for Arkansas with an ankle injury sustained on Jan. 12, but he will be a game-time call on Saturday. The 6-foot-7 junior has played in 10 games for the Razorbacks, putting up 3.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 0.6 blocks on 8.4 minutes per game this season. If Johnson is unable to suit up for Arkansas, his next opportunity will be Wednesday against Missouri.

Not dressed for game Johnson (ankle) is not in uniform for Tuesday's game against South Carolina, Curtis Wilkerson of HawgSports.com reports.

Impact Johnson was a game-time decision for this contest, but just wasn't healthy enough after injuring his ankle last week. He has been seen in a walking boot, but it doesn't appear that he will be out for much longer.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Johnson (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against South Carolina, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Johnson injured his ankle last Wednesday against Missouri and missed Saturday's game against LSU. He was seen in a walking boot prior to the latter game, which could potentially indicate that his absence will be a long-term one, but the fact that he's already listed as a game-time decision suggests that isn't the case.

JANUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Seen in walking boot Johnson (ankle) was seen walking in a boot pre-game and not expected to play versus LSU on Saturday, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson hasn't been a huge part of Arkansas's rotation so his absence shouldn't make a big difference to everyone's minutes. Seeing Johnson in a boot could mean he may miss multiple games.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Saturday Johnson (ankle) is unlikely to play in the game against LSU on Saturday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Johnson wasn't seeing many minutes in games so it's unclear if him being out will create any more time for bench players or if starters may just play a couple of minutes more.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers ankle injury Coach Eric Musselman said that Johnson suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday's game, Scottie Bordelon of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports.

Impact Coach Musselman added that the injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, but that it was pretty swollen after the game. Saturday's game against LSU might be a little too fast for the forward to return.

Starting Wednesday Johnson is in the starting lineup Wednesday against Missouri, Bob Holt of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazettereports.

Impact In a surprising move, Johnson is making his first start of the season. Across nine previous appearances, the junior average3d 3.4 points and 3.3 rebounds.

Returns to action Johnson (suspension) was active Tuesday during a 75-74 loss to Vanderbilt and recorded one rebound in eight minutes of action.

Impact Johnson returned from his indefinite suspension after taking part in practices this week. Coach Eric Musselman had previously implied that Johnson was to miss additional playing time Monday, but this was not the case. Evidently cleared of his suspension, Johnson figures to revert to his seven minutes per game which he saw prior to his suspension.

Practicing, return not close Coach Eric Musselman indicated Monday that Johnson (suspension) is taking part in practice but suggested it's "not a day-to-day situation" regarding Johnson's suspension, Mason Cho...

Impact Johnson averaged seven minutes per game prior to his indefinite suspension in late December, and it doesn't appear as though he's earned his playing time back at this point. The junior thus appears to be out for Tuesday's game and may be headed for additional absences.

Suspended indefinitely Johnson has been suspended indefinitely, Mason Choate of the Arkansas Traveler reports.

Impact Johnson is coming off of his best effort of the season, racking up 15 points, seven rebounds and three blocks over 17 minutes against Elon on Dec. 21, so his suspension comes at an unfortunate time. Johnson's absence will leave the Razorbacks down an additional body Wednesday and likely beyond.

Ready for opener Johnson (wrist) will be available for Tuesday's season opener against Mercer, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Johnson was spotted with a cast on his wrist not long ago, but it came off last Tuesday and things seem to have been looking up since. The Little Rock transfer is expected to provide forward depth for the Razorbacks in 2021-22.
