Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Tyler Johnson was not listed on the team's injury report for Saturday's contest versus Orlando, an indication that he has cleared the league's health and safety protocols. Johnson has played a minimal role off the bench when active this year, but he could be in line for extended minutes with Kyrie Irving (personal) unavailable. Johnson will carry sizable risk as a DFS commodity, but he has shown an ability to score and compile assists when given adequate playing time. Once the Nets get their full allotment of backcourt members back, Johnson is likely to hold little fantasy appeal.
Brooklyn Nets guard Tyler Johnson will jump into the starting five for Friday's Game 3 against the Toronto Raptors. Joe Harris (personal) is away from the team and might not be able to play again in this series. During the bubble, Johnson is averaging 11.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists through 23.4 minutes per game. The Nets might split up the extra minutes between the guards, but Johnson is likely going to benefit the most. He's worth looking at for DFS contests on Friday.
Dario Saric, Tyler Johnson Will Miss Friday’s Contest
Phoenix Suns small/power forward Dario Saric and point/shooting guard Tyler Johnson have both been ruled out ahead of Fridays game versus the Houston Rockets. Sarics absence will mark his fourth contest in a row on the sidelines due to an ankle injury, while Johnson will miss his third straight showing due to a calf ailment. The teams rotation has been shortened in their absence, while Cheick Diallo and Jevon Carter have picked up a handful of minutes with the second unit. The next chance that Saric and Johnson will have at returning to action comes Saturday against Denver.
Phoenix Suns guards Ty Jerome (calf) and Tyler Johnson (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This marks the third game in a row that Jerome has missed due to a calf issue. He can be left on the waiver wire for now, but could see more minutes later in the season if the Suns fall out of the playoff race. Johnson has been having an awful season and belongs on the waiver wire in just about every format. Ricky Rubio and Elie Okobo will be asked to play more minutes without Jerome or Johnson available on Wednesday.
Tyler Johnson is Questionable for Preseason Contest
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Johnson is dealing with a migraine and has little incentive to play in this one. He should be fine for the regular season opener, but it's unclear how much he'll play on the young Suns roster.
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Johnson has not been able to practice since the injury, so it's not likely he returns to the court soon. De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo will continue to split up the guard minutes. That will likely be the case for the rest of the season because it's looking unlikely that Johnson will play again this season.
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the sixth game in a row that Johnson has missed due to a knee issue. De'Anthony Melton and Elie Okobo split up a majority of the minutes, but Melton is the better fantasy option. Jimmer Fredette should see some playing time as well, but probably not enough to warrant ownership in any leagues.
Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Tyler Johnson will be on the sidelines for Saturdays contest versus the Sacramento Kings due to right knee soreness. His absence will mark his fifth consecutive game in street clothes, allowing Devin Booker to continue seeing a massive workload as the de facto ball-handler. Jimmer Fredette is expected to join the mix versus Sacramento, and he could benefit from Johnsons absence as well. Johnson's next chance to suit up comes Monday against the Utah Jazz.
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. However, Johnson has been getting listed questionable for about a week and still hasn't played. De'Anthony Melton should continue seeing more playing time coming his way without Johnson. Jimmer Fredette could get into the rotation, but it's unclear how much playing time he'll see.
Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Suns are likely going to be cautious here without much incentive to win. De'Anthony Melton is expected to soak up a majority of the playing time. He's someone worth looking at in deep leagues.
