Johnson will draw the start Wednesday against the Warriors.
Rodney Hood will not play as he is nursing a sore back, which will result in a rare start for Johnson. In his only other start this season he posted 14 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 31 minutes. He will likely battle Trey Burke and Joe Ingles for minutes. It is unclear how long Hood will be sidelined with his back injury, so Johnson could potentially draw a few more starts if he remains out.
