  • Brooklyn and Long Island announced the signing on Dec. 27, completing the Nets’ three two-way slots.
  • In 16 games for the Cleveland Charge, Johnson averaged 12.6 points on 66/40/73 shooting with 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals.
  • He played four Summer League games with the Cavaliers on an Exhibit 10 and appeared at the G League Winter Showcase.
  • Johnson joins two-way players Tyson Etienne and E.J. Liddell, and at 23 he is the youngest of the trio.
