Healthy to start 2024-25 Johnson (foot) said Monday during the Spurs' Media Day that he is fit and in shape to start the new season, Scott Salomon of Sports Illustrated reports.

Still week-to-week Johnson (ankle) anticipates needing "about another week" prior to being able to consistently partake in workout activities, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Johnson will have ample time to recover with San Antonio's offseason beginning Monday. Even with three years remaining on his current contract, the 24-year-old enters an offseason of slight uncertainty after logging just 27 starts and continuing to underwhelm as a floor spacer -- hitting 34.6 percent of 5.3 threes per game.

APRIL 14 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season finale Sunday Johnson (foot) is out for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson will end the season having played in just two of the Spurs' final 10 games, and overall, this was a disappointing season for the forward. He lost his starting role and featured in the first unit in just 27 of his 69 appearances. Johnson averaged just 15.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per contest in 2023-24, numbers that indicate a clear regression compared to his previous two seasons in The Association.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson continues to deal with a sprained left foot, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup Friday. His final chance to return this year will be Sunday against Detroit.

APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Wednesday Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder.

Impact Johnson will miss a second straight game due to a left foot strain, marking his sixth absence over the Spurs' last eight games. He has only two more chances to play this season -- Friday against Denver and Sunday versus Detroit.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Tuesday Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Memphis.

Impact Johnson entered Sunday's loss to Philadelphia dealing with a foot injury, and he could have aggravated the issue in addition to suffering an ankle sprain in the final minutes of regulation Sunday. Johnson drove baseline under the basket and landed on his left foot, with his ankle turning to touch the ground beneath his full body weight, so his status is likely in jeopardy for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back Wednesday versus Oklahoma City as well.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early Sunday Johnson went to the locker room after appearing to roll his left ankle, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Johnson limped to the locker room after seemingly rolling his left ankle late in the fourth quarter. Johnson missed the three games prior to Sunday's matchup due to a left foot sprain, so this could be a re-aggravation of that injury. Either way, it is unlikely for Johnson to return to the game, and considering the nature of the injury, it would be surprising if he suits up Tuesday against the Grizzlies.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Philadelphia Johnson is in the starting lineup to face the 76ers on Sunday.

Impact Johnson will move to the starting lineup despite the fact it was previously reported that he would be in an unspecified minutes restriction.

Probable for Sunday Johnson (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson is expected to return to the lineup after missing the past three games for San Antonio. With so many key players missing, Johnson could see heavy usage against the 76ers if his foot injury doesn't hold him back.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Johnson will miss a third straight game, marking his fourth absence over San Antonio's last five games. Cedi Osman (ankle) and Dominick Barlow (knee) are also out, not to mention Jeremy Sochan (ankle) and Devin Vassell (foot) are done for the season, so Julian Champagnie, Sidy Cissoko, Malaki Branham and Devonte' Graham are all candidates for increased roles. Johnson's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus the 76ers.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Johnson (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Jeff Garcia of KENS 5 San Antonio reports.

Impact Johnson has missed three of the last four games due to a left foot sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Thursday. Since Cedi Osman (ankle) has been ruled out, Julian Champagnie, Sidy Cissoko and Malaki Branham could see increased run if Johnson is unavailable.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Johnson (foot) will not play in Tuesday's game against Denver, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
