In addition to a sprained right foot, Johnson is dealing with a sore lower back. Leaky Black started Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, but he was limited to 24 minutes, so fantasy managers in active leagues should not expect too big of a boost to his playing time.

Johnson did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, the second straight game that he’s missed. Leaky Black has moved into the starting lineup, and he could remain there even if Johnson plays, as Bilal Coulibaly is also questionable for Thursday’s game.

Johnson missed Sunday’s game against Brooklyn, and there is a chance he remains out against Chicago. Leaky Black got the start on Sunday and swiped five steals and would likely remain in the starting unit if Johnson is sidelined again.

Initially questionable, Johnson will not play on Sunday. The rookie’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, and Jadeh Hardy is a potential replacement. However, whether he starts or comes off the bench, Hardy is worth a look, especially in points leagues.

Johnson was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s loss to the Heat, a game in which he played 25 minutes. If the rookie can’t go on Sunday, Leaky Black may be in line for more playing time after logging four minutes in Miami.

Johnson, who has missed four of the Wizards’ last seven games, started and logged 24 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. Even if the rookie is available, his playing time is likely to be limited. There’s no need for the Wizards to risk anything with their 2025 first-round pick.

Johnson will be available for a second straight game, which means he will continue to play a limited role as a starter. He has been playing roughly 20 minutes per game for the past few months.

Johnson has missed four of the Wizards’ last six games, and when he has played since January, he has hovered around 20 minutes per game. He’ll continue to start if he is available, but if he isn’t Will Riley could fill the void.

Johnson and Sarr will return after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. With Johnson and Sarr back in action, Will Riley and Tristan Vukčević should see their roles reduced.

Johnson and Sarr will sit for injury management reasons, opening up two spots in the Wizards’ starting lineup. Will Riley is Johnson’s potential replacement, while Tristan Vukčević will likely step in for Sarr at center. Even if he doesn’t start, Riley is worth rostering for the rest of the season.

Johnson is available after three games on the sideline, while Coulibaly will play through a persistent heel issue. With both Johnson and Coulibaly available, Leaky Black and Jaden Hardy could see their roles reduced.

While availability has not been an issue for Coulibaly recently, Johnson has missed the last three games with a sprained right foot. If both are unable to play on Friday, Leaky Black and Jaden Hardy will have added importance within the Wizards’ rotation, with the former possibly moving into the starting lineup.

Johnson will miss a third straight game with this foot injury, which will leave the Wizards thin on the wing. Jaden Hardy, who scored 25 points off the bench on Sunday, should continue to play extended minutes with Johnson out.

Sunday’s game will be the second that Johnson has missed in as many days. Justin Champagnie moved into the starting lineup for Saturday’s loss to the Thunder, and that should remain the case on Sunday. Hopefully, he plays longer than he did against the champs, as Champagnie was ejected during the second quarter for his role in an altercation that led to three Thunder players being tossed.

Johnson was initially listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder, but has since been ruled out with a foot injury. Expect Justin Champagnie to play with the 20-year-old Johnson sidelined after he was out of the rotation in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons.

While Riley returned to the Wizards’ lineup on Thursday after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons, Johnson has been a fixture in the starting five since the All-Star break. If either sits on Saturday, Justin Champagnie may return to the rotation after not playing on Thursday.

Johnson has been a fixture in the Wizards’ starting lineup since the team’s final game before the All-Star break, but fantasy managers have seldom reaped the rewards. The final stat line on Thursday was lean beyond the points tally, and Johnson’s value since the All-Star break is outside of the top-300. While the opportunity places Johnson on some radars, the juice may not be worth the squeeze at this point in his career.

The good news for fantasy managers was that Johnson reached double figures after totaling 10 points in his prior two appearances. The bad is that he only played 23 minutes, and the rookie has not exceeded 25 since returning from a sprained left ankle that sidelined him for six games in early February. Johnson is rostered in only eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason, given his playing time.

Johnson’s offensive production has picked up recently, with the rookie having scored at least 15 points in three consecutive games. He was efficient against the Heat, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Unfortunately, the overall stat line was a bit lean on Tuesday. Johnson has the potential to be an impactful option for fantasy managers over the final month, especially in points leagues, as his playing time should be a priority for the Wizards.

Johnson was one of four players to score 14 points for Washington in this game, but his came efficiently in just 20 minutes. He has been hovering around 20 minutes since returning from a six-game absence with an ankle injury. This was a strong performance, but his role may be limited the rest of the way, limiting his fantasy upside.

Johnson shot the ball well on Friday, but the lack of playing time was a disappointment for fantasy managers. Due to the ankle injury suffered in late January, the rookie guard remains on a minutes restriction. While Johnson’s overall stat line was lean, there were signs that he could be a silly-season standout. However, that depends on how the Wizards handle the playing time, especially with fellow rookie Will Riley playing 12 minutes despite being healthy.

Back in action for the first time since January 29, Johnson was limited to 18 minutes on Wednesday. While other Wizards have seen their playing time limited recently, one would assume that Johnson will play more after the All-Star break. That alone gives him “silly season standout” potential. A sneaky option who doesn’t need to be stashed is Jaden Hardy, who played 18 minutes in his Wizards debut and finished with 11 points, one rebound, one assist, and three three-pointers.

Out since January 29, Johnson will be available for the Wizards’ final game before the All-Star break. While a minutes restriction may be in the cards for the rookie on Wednesday, he should be safe from his minutes being limited after the All-Star break. Johnson is someone who should be rostered ahead of the silly season.

Sunday’s game will be the sixth that Johnson has missed since spraining his left ankle during a January 29 win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington has been the replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role until the rookie is cleared to return.

Johnson injured his ankle on Thursday and will now miss a third straight game since then. Bub Carrington should remain a starter in his place, where he has been a decent source of points, assists and triples, even if he struggled in their last game.

Johnson, who sprained his left ankle during Thursday’s win over the Bucks, will miss a second straight game. Bub Carrington replaced him in the starting lineup for Friday’s loss to the Lakers, recording 15 points and six assists in 25 minutes. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues when allowed to start.

Johnson sprained his left ankle when he landed on the foot of Bucks guard Ryan Rollins during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Bub Carrington was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he’ll have added streaming value if Johnson misses time. The rookie finished with eight points (2-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) and two assists in 11 minutes.
