Hawks sign F/C Ivan Johnson.

Johnson never signed another team's offer sheet, opting instead to accept the Hawks' one-year qualifying offer, making him an unrestricted FA next summer. The backup big man will be motivated to increase his market value this season, but won't provide fantasy value unless Al Horford or Zaza Pachulia are injured.

Restricted FA Ivan Johnson will re-sign with the Hawks, according to CSNNW.com

Johnson will accept the qualifying contract offer and become an unrestricted free agent after the season. He'll earn a shade under $1 million and act as an enforcer in the second unit. Although Johnson should have a "significant" role off the bench, it's going to be awfully tough for him to establish consistent fantasy value with Al Horford healthy.

The Hawks can't match any offer for restricted FA Ivan Johnson above the bi-annual exception.

Although the Hawks tendered the big man a qualifying contract offer, he hasn't signed an offer sheet with another team nor has he agreed to a new deal with the Hawks. It's possible that he simply accepts the qualifying offer and becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2013.

The Hawks will extend a tender to Ivan Johnson, making him a restricted free agent.

The D-league product was a nice find for the Hawks off the bench this season. He averaged 6.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 51.3 percent shooting in 17 minutes per game. He'll likely return to a similar role next season.

Ivan Johnson, who had scored in double figures in each of his last three games, finished with six points on 3-of-3 shooting with four rebounds and a steal in 26 minutes.

It's a frustrating performance for owners who recently added Johnson, especially because the minutes were still there tonight. However, he was outplayed by Jason Collins, who had eight points, seven rebounds and four assists. If given the opportunity, he should bounce back next time out.

Ivan Johnson continued his strong play on Wednesday, racking up 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, 10 rebounds and a steal as the Hawks downed the Raptors.

For those who haven't already, it's time to add Johnson. He played 32 minutes tonight, and it's not unreasonable to think he can post numbers like he did tonight the rest of the way.

Ivan Johnson scored a career-high 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting with eight rebounds and no steals or blocks in 27 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Raptors.

Johnson has a clear path to minutes with Zaza Pachulia likely out the rest of the regular season, and owners that need a big man ought to consider making an add. In six April games, he has averaged 25 minutes, 13.2 points, 5.7 boards, 1.5 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.0 turnovers while shooting 58.5 percent from the field and 72.7 percent from the line -- good for ninth round value in 9-cat leagues over that span.

Ivan Johnson has been suspended for one game by the Hawks for "conduct detrimental to the team."

He'll miss Friday's game against the Magic, but Johnson should be back on Sunday against the Raptors. Johnson was sent back to Atlanta and will re-join the team on Saturday for a scheduled practice. Johnson's absence on Friday should result in more minutes for Zaza Pachulia, as well as possibly seeing brief sightings of veterans Jason Collins and Erick Dampier.

Ivan Johnson scored 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting with six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block in 29 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Pistons.

Johnson only does this every once in a while, so he'll need to do it again before we take much notice.

Ivan Johnson got hot off the bench to hit all seven shots, finishing with a career-high 17 points to go along with three rebounds in Tuesday's loss.

He was feeling it tonight, even hitting a 3-pointer, but has no fantasy value as of now. He's averaging nine points and five boards over his last four games, but not much else.

Ivan Johnson (personal) returned to action on Friday, scoring five points on 2-of-6 shooting with seven rebounds, one assist, and four turnovers in 21 minutes off the bench.

Johnson needs some injury help to matter in fantasy leagues, and from there he also has question marks about his game, too.

As expected, Ivan Johnson (personal) will return on Friday against the Nets.

Johnson was out to be with his pregnant girlfriend but will return tonight. With Zaza Pachulia (Achilles) sidelined, Johnson is a candidate to see an increase in minutes. He's averaging 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 14 minutes per game.
