Ruled out Thursday Johnson is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to left hip flexor irritation.

Impact The All-Star forward exited Tuesday's game meeting with Washington due to the injury, and he can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers. Mouhamed Gueye and Corey Kispert should see an uptick in playing time Thursday, with Jonathan Kuminga also being in line for more ball-handling duties.

Questionable for Thursday Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Johnson injured his hip during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, which resulted in more minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga. We'll have a better idea on Johnson's status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround, but if he's held out of that game, Kuminga would make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.
