JANUARY 30, 2023 • Associated Press

Double-double against former squad Johnson contributed 13 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 64-50 victory over Florida.

Impact Johnson didn't deliver his best shooting performance in this emotion-filled matchup against his former team. Nevertheless, he still logged double-digit rebounds for the third consecutive contest, as the 6-foot-6 senior has now averaged 7.7 per game this season. Johnson's position as Kansas State's leading scorer (18.0) and rebounder will continue to make him one of the most coveted fantasy options in the Big 12.

Game-winning jam versus rival Johnson registered 24 points (7-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 83-82 OT victory over Kansas.

Impact Johnson continued his campaign as one of the best comeback stories of the 2022-23 season, as he posted at least 20 points for the sixth time in his 18 starts for the Wildcats. The Florida transfer appeared unphased while facing the No. 2-ranked Jayhawks led by experienced forward Jalen Wilson, who was the only player from either team to finish with more points than Johnson with 38. Johnson also scored what wound up being the game-winning score off of an alley-oop from point guard Markquis Nowell with 24 seconds remaining in OT. The fifth-year senior has now averaged 18.7 points and 7.2 boards while shooting 39.3 percent from beyond the arc and 55.2 percent overall this season, and he should be considered one of the most valuable fantasy players moving forward this year.

Edges double-double again Saturday Johnson notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 82-68 loss to TCU.

Impact Johnson continued to be a no-doubt double-digit scorer, as he has now averaged 18.4 points while converting 56.4 percent of his field-goal attempts this season. The 6-foot-6 senior also posted nine rebounds for the third time in the past four games, and, while he leads the Wildcats with 7.1 boards per game this season, he has only posted two double-doubles across 17 starts. Johnson should continue to be one of the Big 12's most productive and efficient players moving forward this season.

No. 19 Baylor hosts Kansas State after Nowell's 36-point performance

JANUARY 6, 2023 • Associated Press

28 points in big win Johnson finished with 28 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 victory over Texas.

Impact Johnson matched his season high for points in this big road win over the No. 6 Longhorns. The 6-foot-6 forward also continued his role as the Wildcats' leading rebounder while coming up one board short of his third double-double of the season. Johnson did finish second on the team in points during this season-best scoring performance for point guard Markquis Nowell (36). These two also took 31 of Kansas State's 60 field-goal attempts, and they may need to post another star duo performance to come away with their second big win in a row Saturday versus Baylor, which ranks eighth in the conference in points per game allowed this season (66.3).
