Tre Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Role change likely for 2026-27 Johnson (rest) is likely to revert back to a bench role to open 2026-27 after finishing last season as a starter.

Impact The Wizards are set to send out a new starting lineup this year, now headlined by veteran stars Trae Young and Anthony Davis as well as rookie No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa, and they're also set to get Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr (toe) back in the fold. Washington does have a rather thin backcourt behind Young and George, however, so both Johnson and Bub Carrington should remain involved to a significant extent off the bench in 2026-27.

Impact Johnson wasn't shy about hunting his shot from beyond the arc, but he wasn't very efficient from downtown. Still, the 20-year-old guard finished second on the team in scoring and was the only Wizards player to knock down multiple triples. The Texas product started 42 of his 60 regular-season appearances as a rookie, though the arrival of AJ Dybantsa will likely push Johnson into a bench role.

New competition added The arrival of AJ Dybantsa creates additional competition on the wing, though Johnson (foot) should still maintain a decent role in Washington's young core.

Impact The 2025 lottery pick showed flashes as a scorer during his rookie season and figures to remain an important perimeter option alongside Dybantsa and Bilal Coulibaly. While touches may become harder to find on a deeper roster, especially with Trae Young around, Johnson's long-term outlook remains strong as the Wizards continue building around multiple young wings.
