Muted numbers in team debut Johnson (ankle) finished with four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block across 17 minutes Thursday in the Trail Blazers' 132-95 loss to the Warriors. Impact Shortly after being dealt to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 4, Johnson sustained a sprained right ankle that prevented him from debuting with his new team before the All-Star break. Johnson rejoined the team for practice this week, however, and was cleared for the start of the Trail Blazers' second-half schedule. Though plenty of minutes should be up for grabs with six players on the roster dealing with long-term injuries, Johnson looks like he'll be behind at least Josh Hart and CJ Elleby in the pecking order on the wing, which will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from the rookie.
