INJURIES

Iffy for Wednesday
Johnson (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Impact
Johnson is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest. He hasn't been in the rotation, however, so this news doesn't have many fantasy implications.

Questionable with illness
Johnson is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder with an illness, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact
Johnson is not typically a rotation player and has seven minutes to his name in March.

Removed from injury report
Johnson (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Impact
It looks like Johnson will be available for Thursday's game, but that doesn't mean he'll log meaningful minutes, as he tends to be a negligible part of the rotation.

ROTOWIRE
Sitting Wednesday due to illness
Johnson (illness) is listed as out for Wednesday's game in Toronto.
Impact
Johnson will sit out a second straight game due to an unspecified ailment. The 36-year-old isn't part of the Indiana frontcourt rotation, so his absence shouldn't affect how head coach Rick Carlisle elects to divvy up the minutes.

ROTOWIRE
Ruled out for Monday
Johnson (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hornets.
Impact
Johnson was questionable for Monday's matchup due to an illness, and he'll be unable to suit up. His final chance to play before the All-Star break will be Wednesday against Toronto.

ROTOWIRE
Questionable due to illness
Johnson is deemed questionable ahead of Monday at Charlotte due to an illness.
Impact
He is going to be more of a cheerleader than an on-the-court contributor for the Pacers the rest of the way and will likely be a game-time call Monday.

ROTOWIRE
Back with Indiana
The Pacers re-signed Johnson to a one-year contract Thursday.
Impact
Though he's made just 23 appearances with Indiana since the start of the 2023-24 season, Johnson is clearly valued by the organization, with Tony East of SI.com pointing out that the 36-year-old big man has now signed six different contracts with the Pacers over the last 18 months. The Pacers didn't immediately re-sign Johnson after his second 10-day deal expired Thursday, but the team had an extra roster spot left open for the veteran in the aftermath of the trade deadline and elected to bring him back. Johnson still projects to remain out of the rotation more often than not and would need an injury or two to hit the Indiana frontcourt in order to get meaningful run.

Deal with Indiana ends
Johnson became a free agent Thursday after his second 10-day contract with the Pacers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact
Indiana will have to sign Johnson to a contract for the rest of the season in order to retain him, but the team will most likely move on from the veteran big man, who has averaged just 4.8 minutes per game over his five appearances with the club in 2023-24. The Pacers have already filled Johnson's roster spot after acquiring two players from the 76ers (Marcus Morris and Furkan Korkmaz) and dealing away one (Buddy Hield) on Thursday.

ROTOWIRE
Signs another 10-day deal
Johnson signed a second 10-day contract with the Pacers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact
Johnson returned to the Pacers on a 10-day deal Jan. 19 but hasn't made any appearances for the team since rejoining the club. It's unlikely that he'll be a regular part of the rotation while playing on his second 10-day contract.

Re-joining Pacers
The Pacers signed Johnson to a 10-day contract Friday.
Impact
Johnson was waived from Indiana on Wednesday after the team traded for Pascal Siakam, Jordan Nwora and Kira Lewis. While Johnson is re-joining the Pacers, the veteran forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time.

Let go by Indiana
The Pacers are waiving on Wednesday but intend to receive him if he clears waivers Tony East of SI.com reports.
Impact
Johnson is being waived by Indiana in order to create a roster opening for Kira Lewis, who was dealt to the Pacers in the Pascal Siakam trade. Indiana signed Johnson on Dec. 14 but averaged just 4.8 minutes across five appearances since joining the team.

Inks deal with Indiana
The Pacres signed Johnson to a one-year contract Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact
Johnson made 18 appearances for Indiana in 2022-23 and averaged 2.8 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.0 minutes. While the veteran forward is unlikely to be a significant member of the team's rotation, Johnson can provide experience to a young Pacers squad.

Dusts off cobwebs Friday
Johnson had six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Friday's 122-115 loss to Detroit.
Impact
Johnson played meaningful minutes in the loss, a true indication that the Pacers are done for the season. Unfortunately, he was a minus-15 in a game they lost by seven, providing very little in terms of tangible production. The Pacers' final game of the season is against the Knicks on Sunday, providing Johnson with his last opportunity to break a sweat before going into hibernation once again.

Re-signs with Indiana
The Pacers re-signed Johnson on Monday.
Impact
Johnson was waived by Indiana to make room for a trio of players coming over in a deal with Milwaukee ahead of the trade deadline. The Pacers have opted to bring back the veteran forward a few days later, but their roster currently sits at 17 players, meaning they'll have to make some corresponding moves to reach the 15-player threshold.

Waived by Indiana
Johnson was waived by the Pacers on Thursday, Tony East of SI.com reports.
Impact
Johnson hasn't been part of Indiana's rotation recently, and he'll part ways with the club after the Pacers acquired several players ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Even if Johnson is able to land a roster spot elsewhere, he's unlikely to see a significant role.

Retreats to bench
Johnson isn't starting Friday's game against the Hawks.
Impact
Johnson got a spot start Wednesday, as Myles Turner (back) was a late scratch, but the veteran forward will retreat to his usual reserve role Friday. Johnson likely won't garner a large enough role against Atlanta to be fantasy relevant.

Gets starting nod
Johnson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks, Jeremiah Johnson of Bally Sports Indiana reports.
Impact
Johnson is an unexpected addition to the starting lineup Wednesday, as Myles Turner (back) is a late scratch. The veteran forward hasn't played since Dec. 27.
