Johnson tweaked his ankle during the fourth quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Knicks. He is now questionable for Saturday’s game against the Bucks.
This game is the semifinals of the NBA Cup in Las Vegas, so there’s obvious motivation to play. That said, it is still only the NBA Cup, and the long-term health and playoff aspirations take precedence.
Johnson has missed two games this season. Garrison Mathews got the start for him in one and Larry Nance Jr. got the start two games ago.
