Holds questionable designation Johnson (ankle) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Florida State, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact Johnson missed Louisville's most recent loss to Clemson due to this ankle injury, and may miss another. The freshman guard averages 7.8 points this year, and if able to return may be held to lower amounts of minutes due to this being a lower body injury.

Not playing Tuesday Johnson is out for Tuesday's game against Clemson due to an ankle injury, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact Johnson will miss a game for the first time this season, and the absence of the freshman will limit the team's backcourt depth off the bench, as he was regularly playing between 15 and 20 minutes with the second unit. His first chance to return to the hardwood will come against Florida State on Saturday.

Impact Johnson, who has started in the Cardinals' last five games, will shift back to the bench Wednesday against the Hurricanes. The 6-foot freshman has played a big role in his first collegiate season, averaging eight points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals on 22.9 minutes per game this season. Johnson has struggled from the field lately and is currently boasting just 35.2/21.2/80.4 shooting lines on the season.
