Out vs. Rockets Johnson (illness) is out Tuesday against the Rockets, Christian Arnold of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Tuesday will mark Johnson's first absence since Feb. 17, and he's averaged 4.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 blocks since. In his absence, more minutes could be in store for Kessler Edwards, Blake Griffin and/or LaMarcus Aldridge.

Questionable for Tuesday Johnson is questionable for Tuesday's game against Houston due to a non-COVID illness, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Johnson is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Feb. 17. If he's sidelined, Kessler Edwards and Blake Griffin would likely both be candidates for increased roles.

Efficient night off bench Johnson amassed 16 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 22 minutes during Thursday's 129-100 win over the 76ers.

Impact It was a sharp performance from the veteran forward, who had managed only nine points total in the last three games after shifting back to the second unit following Kevin Durant's return to action. The five blocks were a season high for Johnson while the three made threes tied his season high, but his inconsistent production makes him little more than a DFS dart throw for fantasy purposes.

Shifts to bench Johnson will come off the bench Thursday against Miami.

Impact The 35-year-old started in his past five appearances and was productive with averages of 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists in 29.0 minutes, but Kevin Durant (knee) is making his return to the court Thursday. Johnson should still be a rotational piece off the bench but is unlikely to have much fantasy viability going forward.

Leads Nets with 19 points Tuesday Johnson contributed 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 109-108 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Johnson popped for a team-high 19 points, something that feels wrong to be saying out loud. Thanks to injuries and player absences, Johnson has been able to carve out a reasonable role for himself, putting up adequate production along the way. Kevin Durant is slated to return from a knee injury in the next game and that alone could signal the end of Johnson's run as a 12-team consideration.

Starting Thursday Johnson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Johnson was sidelined for the Nets' loss to the Wizards prior to the All-Star break due to a wrist injury, but he's back with the starting five for Thursday's tilt with Boston. He's averaging 5.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 19.3 minutes per game this season.

Not on injury report Johnson (wrist) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Johnson was a late scratch for Brooklyn's final game prior to the All-Star break, but he'll be back in action against Boston. He scored in double figures in three of his five appearances prior to his absence, and he averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 23.6 minutes per game during that time.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Thursday Johnson won't be available for Thursday's game against Washington due to right wrist soreness.

Impact Johnson's status for Thursday's matchup wasn't revealed until right before tipoff, so it's unclear as to when the injury popped up. Blake Griffin, Kessler Edwards and LaMarcus Aldridge could get extra run with Johnson out.

FEBRUARY 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid performance in start Johnson provided 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 111-106 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Johnson drew his sixth start of the season as Kessler Edwards shifted to the bench. The veteran missed all three of his three-point attempts but was still able to register his ninth double-digit scoring outing of the campaign. It was also just the second time this season that Johnson finished with at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in the same game. As long as Kevin Durant (kne) and Ben Simmons (not injury related) remain sidelined, Johnson figures to be a key part of coach Steve Nash's rotation.

Starting Wednesday Johnson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Johnson will make just his sixth start of the season as Kessler Edwards shifts to the bench. The veteran is averaging 5.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 19.0 minutes per game this season.

Good to go Monday Johnson (knee) is available for Monday's game versus the Kings, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Johnson was labeled as questionable for Monday due to a bruised right knee, but he's been cleared to take the court for the Nets. He's averaged 9.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.8 minutes over the past five games, though the returns of Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) and LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) could affect his opportunities in the frontcourt.

FEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday's contest Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings due to a right knee contusion.

Impact Johnson suffered the knee injury during Saturday's loss to the Clippers and is in jeopardy of missing additional contests. If he's unable to suit up, Blake Griffin and Bruce Brown are both candidates for increased roles off the bench.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Thrives in blowout loss Johnson closed Tuesday's 126-91 loss to the Celtics with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.

Impact Johnson piled up some numbers in the blowout loss. He's seen double-digit minutes in each of the past 10 games, but he's only putting up stats good enough for fantasy relevance in deep leagues. Occasionally, he'll pop like this when the situation presents itself.
