Sun Feb 1 201513:28Joe Johnson: (Personal) Uncertain For Monday
Johnson missed Sunday's practice for personal reasons, leaving his status for Monday's game against the Clippers unknown, The Record reports.
Johnson will likely be a game-time decision for Monday's contest while further news should be released after the morning shootaround. If he's unable to play, Alan Anderson would have a chance to see an increased role against the Clippers.

Johnson scored 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt) with four rebounds and three assists in 46 minutes during Friday's OT loss to the Raptors.
The rest provided by Monday's postponement seems to have provided Johnson with a spark, and he's scored 43 points on 18-for-35 shooting in the two games since. Given his age and lingering knee tendinitis, however, don't expect him to be able to keep up this hot streak for long.
Wed Jan 28 201523:04Johnson scored 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) with two re...
Johnson scored 26 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) with two rebounds and a steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
It's his first game in January with 20 or more points, as an assortment of leg injuries have reduced Johnson's effectiveness in recent weeks. The 33-year-old is averaging career lows in scoring and field goal percentage this season, and with one more year to go on his bloated contract the Nets may have a hard time finding a taker for Johnson in trade talks.
Sun Jan 25 201514:22Joe Johnson: Struggling With Tendinitis
Johnson has been playing through tendinitis in his right knee and his left ankle for the majority of the season, Newsday reports.
Johnson does not plan on taking any time off to rest, but his production has taken a dive in the month of January as he's shooting 36.2 percent from the field and a lowly 29.0 percent from three-point range. His current plan is to gut it out until the All-Star break without taking time off the court to rest. This strategy bodes well for owners of Johnson in the short term, although Johnson's long-term viability is in serious question.

Johnson scored just six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with one assist and one block during Saturday's loss to the Jazz.
Johnson has really been in a slump lately, averaging just 10.3 points per game and shooting 32.2 percent from the field in the last two weeks. Bench Johnson if you can until he pulls himself out of this slump.
Wed Jan 7 201523:27Johnson scored 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three r...
Johnson scored 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
The Nets are struggling right now but you can't pin that on Johnson, who's averaging 17.4 points, 5.1 boards, 4.4 assists and 1.6 threes over his last seven games.
Fri Dec 19 201422:55Johnson scored team-high 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) w...
Johnson scored a team-high 26 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds and five assists in 40 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.
Johnson has averaged 18.6 points and hit 50 percent of his field goals in his last five games. With Deron Williams (calf) on the shelf, the Nets will lean on the veteran wing to score more.
Wed Dec 17 201422:52Johnson scored 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3P, 0-3 FT) with eight re...
Johnson scored 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3P, 0-3 FT) with eight rebounds, three assists and a steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Raptors.
He's averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steals in four games since rejoining the lineup following a stomach bug. Johnson has been a rare bright spot in a disappointing start to the Nets' season, but if the trade rumors surrounding him pan out don't expect him to have the same prominent role in a new uniform.

Johnson (illness) returned to the court Friday against the Sixers and was able to compile 12 points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 27 minutes.
Johnson missed two games with a stomach virus but was able to practice Thursday and ultimately play Friday. That being said, he played decently below his normal compliment of minutes (34.5) as he was likely struggling with conditioning. Unfortunately for him, the Nets have a quick turnaround by playing the Hornets on Saturday and Johnson's inability to play a full compliment of minutes Friday may likely spill over into Saturday as well.
Thu Dec 11 201413:42Johnson (illness) returned to practice Thursday
Johnson (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports.
Johnson has missed the last four days, including two games, while battling a stomach virus. His presence at practice is a solid indication that he has a good chance to return against Philadelphia on Friday, though the team is yet to offer official confirmation. If he does, indeed, return, expect Alan Anderson to return to a bench role.
Tue Dec 9 201413:12Johnson (illness) did not practice Tuesday
Johnson (illness) did not practice Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.
Johnson came down with a stomach virus over the weekend and was held out of Monday's blowout loss to the Cavaliers. His absence Tuesday is not overly encouraging, but the team has not ruled him out of Wednesday's matchup with Chicago. A decision will likely be made following Wednesday's shootaround.
Mon Dec 8 201416:42Joe Johnson: (Illness) Ruled Out For Monday's Game
Johnson (illness) will not play Monday against Cleveland, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.
Johnson came down with a stomach virus over the weekend, which kept him out of practice Sunday. He'll be sidelined Monday, joining Brook Lopez, who's dealing with a back issue. The Nets are yet to announce who will start in his place, but Alan Anderson would appear to be the most likely candidate. Consider Johnson questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Chicago.
Sun Dec 7 201412:40Joe Johnson: (Illness) Unable To Practice Sunday
Johnson missed Sunday's practice with a stomach virus, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.
The next game for Brooklyn will come against the Cavaliers on Monday and Johnson won't likely be given the green light until right before tipoff. With that in mind, Alan Anderson and Bojan Bogdanovic may be in store for extended minutes on the hardwood Monday if Johnson stays on the sidelines.

Johnson had a nice night shooting, and was the leading scorer for the Nets in their win. Expect him to be a strong fantasy option at the small forward position moving forward.

Johnson toiled 52 minutes in the triple-overtime loss to the Bucks on Wednesday and provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, and eight assists.
The 33-year-old Johnson has been playing heavy minutes (only fewer than 31 minutes once and 36 or more five times). Over his last five, he is averaging 15.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. He is a steady source of fantasy goodness and should remain in lineups.
Thu Nov 13 201400:10Johnson scored 21 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), with five r...
Johnson scored 21 points (7-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), with five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Suns.
Johnson is getting it going again, and fantasy owners are hoping that he can start lighting up the stat sheet in a big way, sooner than later. When Johnson's shot is on, he's a major fantasy option, but it's been a bit hit-or-miss to this point in 2014.
Wed Nov 5 201423:56Johnson scored 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3P, 3-4 FT) with three re...
Johnson scored 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-4 3P, 3-4 FT) with three rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
The veteran wing is off to a great start to the season, but with Brook Lopez now back in the lineup Johnson could see his shots, and scoring drop a bit going forward.
Sat Nov 1 201421:57Joe Johnson: Goes Off At Detroit
Johnson posted 34 points (14-23 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in Saturday's victory at Detroit.
The Pistons ran a number at defenders at Johnson, but no one had an answer, especially in the fourth period when Johnson exploded for 15 points. Johnson looks like a strong play next week, when the Nets play four home games.
Wed Oct 29 201422:48Johnson scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-5 3P, 3-5 FT) with six rebo...
Johnson scored 19 points (7-19 FG, 2-5 3P, 3-5 FT) with six rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to the Celtics.
The veteran guard posted a fairly typical line in the Nets' opener. With Paul Pierce now in Washington, Johnson might just see an uptick in his scoring this season, but don't expect a huge jump in his production.
