Retreating to bench Johnson will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact The rookie first-round pick will slide to the bench due to Khris Middleton (ankles) returning to the starting five. Johnson started in each of the club's last two outings, totaling 20 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, two steals and one block across 63 minutes.

Makes most of start Johnson racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to Portland.
Impact Johnson, who was making his first career start Monday, made the most of his minutes in the loss. Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) were both sidelined, while Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton were pulled at half team as a coach's decision. The Wizards don't have much to play for in the final weeks, so Johnson could get more looks like these.

Making first career start Monday Johnson will start in Monday's game against Portland.
Impact The rookie first-round pick will draw the start for the first time in his career due to Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) being sidelined. Johnson has received inconsistent playing time at the NBA level since being traded to the Wizards on Feb. 5, and in six games since, he has averaged 3.7 points, 2.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds across 11.8 minutes per game.

Impact Johnson was initially listed as out for Friday's contest after having been traded to Washington on Wednesday. However, the rookie first-rounder will make his Wizards debut, though there is no guarantee that he'll receive significant playing time, even with Malcolm Brogdon (foot) and Marcus Smart (not injury related) on the shelf.

Impact Johnson will have to wait to make his Wizards debut, and his next chance to feature will come Saturday against the Hawks. The rookie first-rounder saw the majority of his playing time in the G League for the Bucks, though this trade to the Wizards will likely present him with more opportunities to see the floor.

Bucks reportedly trading Khris Middleton to Wizards for Kyle Kuzma

The Bucks are sending NBA champion and Olympic gold medalist Khris Middleton to the Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma.

Bucks reportedly trading Khris Middleton to Wizards for Kyle Kuzma
Traded to Washington Milwaukee traded Johnson to the Wizards on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Impact Johnson was moved along with Khris Middleton, with the Wizards sending Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin and second-round picks the other direction. After making just seven brief appearances with the Bucks, this could be a positive change in scenery for Johnson in terms of opportunity. The No. 23 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Johnson could earn himself plenty of minutes down the stretch for the rebuilding Wizards, making him a name to watch in deep fantasy leagues.
FEBRUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Productive in return to NBA Johnson registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-96 loss to the Thunder.
Impact The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 Draft saw a significant role for the first time in his career with the Bucks sitting all their big names on the second night of a back-to-back, and Johnson was able to deliver solid numbers. Milwaukee isn't going to rush the raw 20-year-old, and a return to the G League is likely in order once Damian Lillard (groin) is cleared, but it's encouraging that Johnson was able to seize his first real NBA opportunity.
FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Recalled to parent club on Saturday The Bucks recalled Johnson from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Saturday.
Impact Johnson started in the Herd's 118-105 loss to the Salt Lake City Stars on Saturday, recording two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes. Despite being a member of the Bucks' 15-man roster, the rookie should continue to see the majority of his playing time in the G League, as he has averaged only 2.3 minutes per game in six regular-season appearances.
FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
