Strong shooting from deep Johnson totaled 20 points (6-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 117-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Impact Johnson stayed hot from beyond the arc, as he's now converted on 23 of his last 52 attempts from three. The Kentucky product has scored in double figures with ease in all 13 games this season, and despite a slow night Monday against the Warriors (one rebound and one assist), he typically offers value across the board.

Impact Johnson was solid in the first half, going 3-of-6 from the field with 10 points and three assists. He was a bit more aggressive in the second half as the Spurs tried to claw their way back into the game, knocking down five of eight shots for an additional 15 points. The San Antonio forward went 4-of-7 from three-point range in the contest, the fourth time in his last five games with at least four threes. He's also recorded 25 or more points in four of his last five and continues to lead the offensive charge for the Spurs to start the season.

Scores season-low 16 points Johnson closed Friday's 113-106 loss to the Clippers with 16 points (7-19 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes.
Impact Johnson was coming off a one-game absence due to a calf injury. There's a chance he's still not 100 percent fit, as this was one of his worst outings of the campaign, with Johnson scoring a season-low 16 points. Despite this poor outing, Johnson's role as the Spurs' go-to player on offense shouldn't be under question going forward.

Questionable for Wednesday Johnson is considered a question mark for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to calf tightness, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Impact Johnson's calf issue being labeled tightness seemingly bodes well for a short absence, if he's forced to miss any time. Clarification should arrive on game day, with Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson likely taking most of his minutes if he sits.
