New Orleans recalled Johnson from the G League's Laketown Squadron on Sunday.
Johnson has recorded just three minutes of NBA play this campaign as he continues to be constantly assigned to the G League side. Still, he may have an opportunity to add backup behind the primary options Dejounte Murray and Jeremiah Fears in upcoming contests. While his value is limited in his current role, Johnson may be more active for the Squadron if he's assigned again when they open their G League season Nov. 8.

The Pelicans recalled Johnson from the G League's Laketown Squadron on Friday.
New Orleans has some injuries on the roster, so the team presumably recalled Johnson to add depth. However, even if he remains with the Pelicans for a limited time, he likely won't be on the floor much.

The Pelicans assigned Johnson to the G League's Laketown Squadron on Friday.
Johnson has yet to suit up for the Pelicans this season. He'll look to get some much-needed reps with the Squadron in the meantime.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 30
The Pelicans declined Johnson's team option Tuesday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
As a result, Johnson is now set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026-27 season. A 2024 first-rounder by the Bucks, he's looking for a fresh start in New Orleans following multiple offseason trades but is unlikely to begin the year in the rotation.

Johnson was traded from the Grizzlies to the Pelicans on Tuesday along with Taj Gibson in exchange for Jordan Hawkins, Micah Peavy, a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Johnson is already headed to his fifth organization since being selected 23rd overall in the 2024 NBA Draft. The 21-year-old has averaged 4.9 points across 77 career regular-season appearances and remains a developmental project despite his first-round pedigree. Johnson figures to compete for a depth role in New Orleans and is unlikely to have much fantasy relevance unless injuries open up additional playing time.

The Grizzlies traded Santi Aldama (knee) to the Mavericks on Wednesday in exchange for Johnson, a protected 2030 Warriors first-round pick and two future second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After dealing Ja Morant (elbow) earlier this week, Memphis is continuing its rebuilding efforts. Johnson, who was part of last year's Anthony Davis (finger) trade to the Wizards, will have a chance at a fresh start with a young Grizzlies club, though Johnson will face plenty of competition for playing time on the wing. The 2024 first-rounder averaged only 9.5 minutes per game over 48 regular-season appearances between Dallas and Washington last season.
