Wizards' Tre Johnson: Dealing with hip soreness
Rotowire
Johnson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to left hip flexor soreness.
Johnson is in danger of missing his first game of the season after posting 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Washington's 140-110 loss to Toronto on Friday. After playing at least 20 minutes in 12 straight games to begin the campaign, Johnson has played fewer than 20 in three straight, so it's possible the hip issue has been bothering him for over a week.

Rotowire
Johnson posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 19 minutes during Washington's 140-110 loss to Toronto on Friday.
It was a rough game all around for the Wizards during Friday's blowout loss, but Johnson led the bench with 14 points and finished second on the team in scoring behind veteran guard CJ McCollum (20 points). Johnson has scored in double digits in five of his last seven games, and over that span, he has averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 steals over 22.8 minutes per game while connecting on 43.8 percent of his 4.6 three-point attempts per game.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Puts up 12 points
Rotowire
Johnson totaled 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets.
The rookie out of Texas didn't have his best performance, but the Wizards' offense looked overmatched in this 23-point loss. Johnson opened the season in a bench role but has started in each of the Wizards' last four games, averaging 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in that stretch. He should continue to have decent upside as long as he's starting in the absence of Bilal Coulibaly (calf). Johnson is enjoying decent volume, attempting 10 or more shots in three of those four starts.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Johnson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to low back soreness.
Johnson has been logging 27.3 minutes per game off the bench for the Wizards this season, which has the rookie's back acting up. We'll have a better idea of his status following Tuesday's shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Cam Whitmore and perhaps Malaki Branham would be able to get into the rotation.

Johnson put up 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 26 minutes in Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.
While Johnson came off the bench backing up Bub Carrington, he did outscore him while playing three fewer minutes. The rookie also led the second unit in scoring and minutes played, seemingly solidifying his spot in the rotation for the foreseeable future.

Rotowire
Johnson generated 18 points (7-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes of Friday's 103-84 Summer League loss to the Suns.
Johnson's calling card is his scoring ability, and it was on full display in his first taste of NBA action.

Johnson is expected to compete with Marcus Smart, Blake Wesley and Cam Whitmore for reserve guard minutes.
