Benched after four minutes Johnson notched no counting stats across four minutes during Sunday's 128-109 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Johnson's demotion to the second unit has been a mixed bag, although he wakes up with a solid number often enough to be relevant..

Unfortunately for Johnson, he seems destined for reserve duty despite outperforming the current selections for the first unit.
