Johnson

The Wizards will be light on options for Sunday’s season finale, especially on the perimeter. The absence of Coulibaly and Johnson will mean more opportunities for Will Riley and Leaky Black. As for Vukčević, his continued absence does not change much in the frontcourt, with the Wizards continuing to rely on Julian Reese.

In addition to a sprained right foot, Johnson is dealing with a sore lower back. Leaky Black started Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, but he was limited to 24 minutes, so fantasy managers in active leagues should not expect too big of a boost to his playing time.

Johnson did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, the second straight game that he’s missed. Leaky Black has moved into the starting lineup, and he could remain there even if Johnson plays, as Bilal Coulibaly is also questionable for Thursday’s game.

Johnson will miss a second consecutive game after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Nets. Leaky Black moved into the starting lineup and should retain that role.

Johnson missed Sunday’s game against Brooklyn, and there is a chance he remains out against Chicago. Leaky Black got the start on Sunday and swiped five steals and would likely remain in the starting unit if Johnson is sidelined again.

Initially questionable, Johnson will not play on Sunday. The rookie’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, and Jaden Hardy is a potential replacement. However, whether he starts or comes off the bench, Hardy is worth a look, especially in points leagues.

Johnson was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s loss to the Heat, a game in which he played 25 minutes. If the rookie can’t go on Sunday, Leaky Black may be in line for more playing time after logging four minutes in Miami.

Coulibaly and Johnson are good to go after being considered questionable for Saturday’s game. Both are starters, but the playing time may be a concern. In Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers, Coulibaly played 19 minutes and Johnson played 24. Fantasy managers will hope that both play more in the Wizards’ penultimate game of Week 23.

Johnson, who has missed four of the Wizards’ last seven games, started and logged 24 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. Even if the rookie is available, his playing time is likely to be limited. There’s no need for the Wizards to risk anything with their 2025 first-round pick.

Johnson will be available for a second straight game, which means he will continue to play a limited role as a starter. He has been playing roughly 20 minutes per game for the past few months.
