Questionable for Wednesday Johnson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers with right calf tightness.

Impact Johnson was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign for availability. Johnson is averaging 38.2 minutes per game over his last five outings, so a maintenance day could be on the table if he's not 100 percent. Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci could be more involved for Atlanta if Johnson is held out.

Posts triple-double in win Johnson chipped in 29 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Johnson recorded his second triple-double of the season, and the star forward continues to thrive both as a scorer and playmaker. He bounced back from the seven-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist performance in the loss to Washington on Tuesday, and he also kept his streak alive of consecutive games with at least seven assists. That streak is up to 10 outings, the longest active streak in the NBA and the longest by a forward since LeBron James did something similar between January and February earlier this year.

Limited output in loss Johnson produced seven points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Johnson saw the court for the least amount of time since Nov. 12, which was due to the insurmountable lead the Wizards built up in the second half. He also did not shoot the ball well at all, recording his fifth game of the season without making a three-pointer. Johnson will look to bounce back offensively Friday against the Cavaliers.
