Available Wednesday Johnson (back) will play in Wednesday's game against Houston.

Impact Johnson has been upgraded from probable to available for the opening leg of the Nuggets' back-to-back set after dealing with back spasms. He's been limited to 22 and 23 minutes, respectively, over his last two appearances due to the back injury and a previous ankle issue.

Probable for Wednesday Johnson is probable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to back spasms.

Impact Johnson came away with the issue in Monday's loss to the Thunder, but he remains likely to play Wednesday. The 30-year-old forward has averaged 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes per contest in his last eight games.

Returns for fourth quarter Johnson (back) started the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Thunder, per the television broadcast.

Impact Johnson left the matchup during the third period due to back spasms, but he was cleared to return for the final 12 minutes of play. He wasn't moving quite like himself, according to Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, so it remains to be seen whether he'll be able to close this one out.

Dealing with back spasms Johnson is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Thunder due to back spasms.

Impact Johnson went to the locker room during the third quarter, and it's not yet clear if he'll return to Monday's tilt. Tim Hardaway and Julian Strawther would see more time in the frontcourt if Johnson is shut down for the evening.

Delivers five dimes in return Johnson (ankle) recorded 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes Friday in the Nuggets' 142-103 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Considering the limited run he received in the blowout loss, Johnson provided some solid all-around production, but it's difficult to be bullish about his outlook moving forward even though he's moved past the ankle injury that kept him out the previous two contests. In addition to Johnson, the Nuggets welcomed Aaron Gordon (hamstring) back from a 17-game absence Friday, and with Peyton Watson (hamstring) also closing in on a return, a depleted Denver forward group will soon be back to full strength. Johnson could struggle to settle back into a regular 25-plus-minute role once that happens, as Gordon and Watson have both handily outperformed him when healthy this season and may be prioritized ahead of Johnson when all three players are available. Even while averaging 30.6 minutes per game over his 38 appearances on the season, Johnson's per-game marks of 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 three-pointers haven't been strong enough to make him a must-roster player in 12-team leagues.

Will play vs. New York Johnson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against New York.

Impact Johnson will shake off his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to right ankle inflammation. With the 30-year-old forward back in action, there will be fewer minutes available for guys like Julian Strawther, Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway. Johnson has averaged 10.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 33.0 minutes per contest over six appearances since the All-Star break.

Listed as questionable Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Johnson remains day-to-day after missing the past two games for Denver. Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is also questionable for Denver. If the team is shorthanded again, Julian Strawther could pick up another sizable workload Friday.

Not playing Thursday Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Johnson will miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle injury that he picked up during the Nuggets' loss to the Timberwolves on Sunday, and his next chance to play is Friday against the Knicks. Tim Hardaway, Julian Strawther and Jonas Valanciunas should continue to operate in elevated roles for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

Questionable for Thursday Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Johnson sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set in Monday's win over the Jazz, and now he's in danger of missing his second straight game with Thursday's match being the first of a back-to-back. If he's out again, that would create more opportunity for Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther.

Ruled out Monday Johnson is out for Monday's game against Utah with right ankle inflammation.

Impact Johnson came away from Sunday's loss to the Timberwolves with the issue and will need at least one contest on the sidelines. With Johnson, Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Spencer Jones (shoulder) all out of action Monday, Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther are each worthy of streaming consideration in all fantasy formats.

Expects to sit out Monday Johnson (ankle) said after Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves that he's not optimistic about his chances of playing Monday in Utah, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette rep...

Impact Johnson was limited to 23 minutes Sunday before checking out of the contest for good with 7:50 remaining in the fourth quarter due to a sore right ankle. Heading into contest, Johnson had been listed as probable due to right ankle inflammation, so he seemingly aggravated the injury Sunday. For his part, Johnson doesn't believe the ankle issue will be a long-term concern, as he believes that exploring different shoes and orthotic inserts will help resolve the matter. Assuming Johnson ends up sitting out Monday, the Nuggets could have more minutes available for the likes of Spencer Jones, Julian Strawther and Jalen Pickett.

Impact Johnson shook off a probable tag due to right ankle inflammation ahead of Sunday's contest, though he struggled mightily and was unable to close the game out. The 29-year-old forward faces a short turnaround if he hopes to suit up in Monday's game in Utah. If he's forced to miss time, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones (shoulder) would be candidates for increased minutes.

Now doubtful to return Sunday Johnson is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota due to right ankle soreness.

Impact Johnson is not expected to return in the final minutes of Sunday's contest after being held scoreless in 23 minutes before heading to the locker room in the fourth quarter. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 29-year-old forward pop up on the injury report ahead of Monday's game in Utah.

Questionable to return Johnson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Minnesota due to a right ankle issue, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson was listed as probable due to right ankle inflammation before being cleared to play Sunday, and he exited the contest in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old forward failed to score and shot 0-for-6 from the field across 23 minutes before exiting.
