ESPN’S Shams Charania reports that the Mavericks are sending AJ Johnson and draft capital to the Grizzlies in exchange for Santi Aldama.

Johnson will now head to his fourth NBA team in three seasons. The former 2024 first-round pick has logged 77 career games, posting averages of 4.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 35.7/24.5/85.7 shooting splits. He is unlikely to find a substantial role in Memphis or generate much value in fantasy basketball leagues.

Caleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Martin and Williams are on track to remain sidelined for the Mavericks’ regular-season finale. While the latter has missed the last three games, the former has not played since March 15. Ryan Nembhard started and logged 31 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs, while AJ Johnson played 20 off the bench. Expect a similar approach on Sunday.

Brandon Williams (illness) is out for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams remains out for another game, which may result in AJ Johnson playing rotation minutes off the bench. Johnson logged 17 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Suns, shooting 1-of-11 from the field. He is not worth the risk in active leagues.

Klay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.

Thompson wasn’t initially on the injury report, but he will now be unavailable off the bench for a second straight game. AJ Johnson took on extra minutes off the bench on Wednesday and should again in this one, though he didn’t provide much value in a larger role.

Brandon Williams (illness) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams missed both games of Dallas’ back-to-back, most recently sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Suns. AJ Johnson played 17 minutes off the bench in Phoenix but shot 1-of-11 from the field. There isn’t much to gain from streaming him in active fantasy leagues.

Klay Thompson (adductor) is available for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Thompson is back after a one-game absence. While his return likely means fewer minutes for AJ Johnson, this change to the Mavericks’ rotation does not affect fantasy basketball.

Brandon Williams (quad) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Williams had been listed as probable, so the downgrade is not the best news. The Mavericks will also play on Friday night, so the team could sit Williams for the first leg of a back-to-back. If they do, the Mavericks would likely start Ryan Nembhard and give AJ Johnson more minutes.

Klay Thompson (adductor) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Tuesday.

Thompson was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day, and he has now officially been ruled out. AJ Johnson played 34 minutes in Thompson’s most recent absence and should see a bump in minutes in this game as well.

Klay Thompson (adductor) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday’s matchup with the Hornets.

Thompson is still nursing a right adductor contusion, and he’s likely headed to the sideline for another game. AJ Johnson could see increased run in Thompson’s absence, but Thompson’s availability isn’t highly impactful in the realm of fantasy hoops.
