James Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers | FOX Sports

Solid total from bench Johnson finished with 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Johnson has aptly provided frontcourt support this season, which is sorely needed while Kevin Durant (knee) remains out. His services were more urgently required Wednesday, with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) missing another game. Relying on Johnson is a mixed bag, however. One never knows when Blake Griffin might show up with the hot hand, and Johnson typically takes a back seat when that happens.

Will start Wednesday Johnson will start in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact With Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) already ruled out, Johnson will make his third start of the season. He's averaging 4.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 17.4 minutes per game this season.

Tallies seven points Sunday Johnson supplied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 20 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-125 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Johnson was held scoreless in his return to the court Friday, but he was more productive against Minnesota on Sunday. The 34-year-old has had inconsistent playing time off the bench for most of the season, but he's averaged 17.5 minutes per game across his last two appearances.

Expected to play Wednesday Johnson (non-COVID illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson was sidelined for back-to-back games due to a non-COVID aliment, but he's expected to return Wednesday. Kevin Durant (knee), Paul Millsap (personal) and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) have all been ruled out against the Wizards, so Nets will likely have to rely on big minutes from Johnson, Kessler Edwards, Blake Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge.

Sitting out second straight game Johnson (illness) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Impact A non-COVID-19-related ailment will keep Johnson sidelined for the second game in a row. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant (knee) and Paul Millsap (personal) are also listed as out while Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is considered questionable, so Brooklyn could be shorthanded in the frontcourt heading into a four-game week.
