James Johnson Latest News
Returning to Indiana
Johnson and the Pacers agreed to a one-year, $3.3 million contract Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Johnson has appeared in only 27 games for the Pacers over the last two seasons. However, the 37-year-old's veteran bench presence has been a bonus for a young team led by Tyrese Haliburton.
Available Sunday
Johnson (personal) is available for Sunday's game against the Lakers. Johnson was listed as questionable ahead of game time after missing Friday's contest due to personal reasons, but he will ultimately be available. Johnson likely won't see much of a role, as he has played just 34 minutes all year.
Questionable for Sunday
Johnson (personal) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers. Johnson is in danger of missing his second straight game. Either way, a potential absence is not expected to impact the Pacers' rotation.
Won't suit up Friday
Johnson is out for Friday's game versus the Warriors due to personal reasons. Johnson's absence shouldn't affect Indiana's rotation. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with the Lakers.
Active against Chicago
Johnson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls. Johnson has been upgraded from questionable to available after missing Indiana's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. However, the veteran forward is unlikely to receive significant playing time.
Iffy for Wednesday
Johnson (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls. Johnson is in jeopardy of missing his second straight contest. He hasn't been in the rotation, so this news doesn't have many fantasy implications.
Will not play
Johnson (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Thunder. Johnson usually doesn't see the floor for the Pacers, so his absence is unlikely to impact the rotation.
Questionable with illness
Johnson is questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder with an illness, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports. Johnson is not typically a rotation player and has seven minutes to his name in March.
