Wizards' AJ Johnson: Retreating to bench
Johnson will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Magic.
The rookie first-round pick will slide to the bench due to Khris Middleton (ankles) returning to the starting five. Johnson started in each of the club's last two outings, totaling 20 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, two steals and one block across 63 minutes.

Wizards' AJ Johnson: Makes most of start
Johnson racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes during Monday's 112-97 loss to Portland.
Johnson, who was making his first career start Monday, made the most of his minutes in the loss. Marcus Smart (illness) and Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) were both sidelined, while Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton were pulled at halftime as a coach's decision. The Wizards don't have much to play for in the final weeks, so Johnson could get more looks like these.

Johnson (recently traded) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Johnson was initially listed as out for Friday's contest after being traded to Washington on Wednesday.

Wizards' AJ Johnson: Won't debut for Washington Friday
Johnson (recently traded) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Johnson will have to wait to make his Wizards debut, and his next chance to feature will come Saturday against the Hawks. The rookie first-rounder saw the majority of his playing time in the G League for the Bucks, though this trade to the Wizards will likely present him with more opportunities to see action at the NBA level.

Wizards' AJ Johnson: Heads to D.C.
The Wizards acquired Johnson, forward Khris Middleton (ankles) and a 2028 first-round pick swap from the Bucks on Wednesday in exchange for forwards Kyle Kuzma and Patrick Baldwin and a 2025 second-round draft pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Johnson, the No. 23 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, had struggled to carve out playing time in Milwaukee this season, making just seven appearances for the Bucks while seeing the bulk of his playing time in the G League. The move from a playoff-contending Bucks squad to a rebuilding Wizards team should present more opportunities for the 20-year-old guard, though he may still find himself outside of the rotation when Washington is at full strength. Johnson had averaged 13.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 28.6 minutes per game while shooting 43.3 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from three-point range over his 25 appearances in the G League for the Wisconsin Herd.

Bucks' AJ Johnson: Productive in extended minutes
Johnson registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 125-96 loss to the Thunder.
The 23rd overall pick in the 2024 draft saw a significant role for the first time in his career with the Bucks holding out multiple key starters on the second night of a back-to-back set, and Johnson was able to deliver solid numbers. Milwaukee isn't going to rush the raw 20-year-old, and a return to the G League is likely in order once Damian Lillard (groin) is cleared. Still, it's encouraging that Johnson was able to take advantage of his first real NBA opportunity.

Bucks' AJ Johnson: Recalled to parent club
The Bucks recalled Johnson from the G League's Wisconsin Herd on Saturday.

The rookie has averaged only 2.3 minutes per game in six appearances for Milwaukee this season and likely won't crack the rotation anytime soon.
