Johnson ended Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls with 20 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes. The second-year guard came over from Washington as part of the trade that sent Anthony Davis (finger) to the Wizards, but Johnson still struggled for regular action at the NBA level with Dallas. Johnson averaged 3.9 points, 1.1 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per tilt through 23 games for the Mavericks this season. All signs point toward Dallas exercising Johnson's team option for 2026-27, and perhaps he'll have a clearer path to minutes if the Mavs don't re-sign Khris Middleton.

AJ Johnson: Breaking News
Drops 13 points in loss
Johnson totaled 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 20 minutes during Friday's 139-120 loss to the Spurs. Johnson recorded double digits for the first time in his past 15 games, shouldering a little more on the offensive end as Dallas continues to roll with some interesting lineups. Although he has flashed some upside on the offensive end, Johnson's lack of supporting stats remains an issue. At this stage, there is no reason to think he will be a relevant piece next season.
Left out of rotation Monday
Johnson (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Mavericks' 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors. After a brief stint with the G League's Texas Legends, Johnson was recalled by the Mavericks ahead of Monday's game but was unable to crack head coach Jason Kidd's 11-man rotation. Rather than turning to Johnson to fill out the second unit, Kidd inserted two-way player John Poulakidas (12 minutes) into the rotation.
