Johnson (back) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Johnson is dealing with a back issue. However, it won't keep him sidelined. He's coming off a decent performance in Sunday's game against the Hornets, finishing with 16 points, four rebounds, two assists and one block across 29 minutes.

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.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Cleared for training camp
Rotowire
Johnson (hamstring) has been cleared to participate in training camp, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports Tuesday.
Johnson dealt with a hamstring injury during Summer League in Las Vegas, with his last game being played July 11 against the Suns. He finished with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal. The rookie guard being a full-go is a promising sign for Washington, even though a few other notable names on the squad are dealing with injuries, like Bilal Coulibaly (thumb), Alex Sarr (calf) and AJ Johnson (leg).

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Impresses in Summer League debut
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. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Johnson knocked down over 50 percent of his field goal attempts and finished second on the team in scoring. Johnson is expected to compete with Marcus Smart, Blake Wesley and Cam Whitmore for reserve guard minutes.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Selected by Washington
Rotowire
Johnson was selected by the Wizards with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Longhorn averaged 19.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists while shooting 42.7 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from three over 33 games in his lone college season. Arguably the most prolific scorer in the draft, the 19-year-old led the SEC in points per game during the 2024-25 season. With Jordan Poole traded to the Pelicans, the Wizards should eventually give Johnson ample opportunities in a backcourt that currently includes CJ McCollum, Bub Carrington and Marcus Smart. Washington is expected to move on from its veterans at some point and embrace a rebuild, but until that happens, Johnson may not see a major role right away.
