Tre Johnson Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Cavaliers vs Wizards game on Friday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Nov 24, 2025
Without timetable for return
Johnson has a strained left hip flexor and doesn't have a timetable to return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Robbins notes that the usual timeline for an injury like this is two-to-four weeks. This is an injury Johnson dealt with in college, so it's fair to expect the Wizards to be extra cautious. With this news, more minutes could open up for guys like Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore.
Nov 22, 2025
Ruled out Saturday
Johnson (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will miss his first game of the season due to left hip flexor soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Hawks. With the rookie sidelined, Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are candidates for increased minutes.

Dealing with hip soreness
Johnson is questionable for Saturday's game against the Wizards due to left hip flexor soreness.
ANALYSIS
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.

Leads bench with 14 points
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.
ANALYSIS
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 three-point attempts on 4.6 3PA/G.
Nov 16, 2025
Won't start Sunday
Johnson won't start Sunday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
With Bilal Coulibaly (calf) returning from a four-game absence, Johnson will slide to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the rookie has averaged 8.8 points and 2.6 rebounds while shooting 36.4 percent from the field in 24.6 minutes per contest.
Nov 13, 2025
Puts up 12 points
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.
ANALYSIS
The rookie out of Texas didn't have his best performance Wednesday, although to be fair, the entire 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 plays in a starting role, and he's enjoying decent volume after attempting 10 or more shots in three of those four starts.
Nov 7, 2025
Starting Friday
Johnson is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
It's set to be the first career start for the rookie first-rounder, which should enhance his streaming appeal in the absence of Kyshawn George (illness) and Bilal Coulibaly (lower leg). Johnson has averaged 11.6 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes per contest over eight games this season.
Nov 4, 2025
Drops 10 in loss
Johnson provided 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Johnson has scored 10+ points in all but one game this season, and has been one of Washington's prominent bench scorers. The rookie is averaging 12.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.1 threes made.
Oct 28, 2025
Available Tuesday
Johnson (back) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
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.
Oct 27, 2025
Questionable for Tuesday
Johnson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to low back soreness.
ANALYSIS
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 on 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.
Oct 25, 2025
Pops for 17 off bench
Johnson contributed 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 26 minutes off the bench during Friday's 117-107 victory over the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Johnson led the Wizards' second unit in minutes, points and made three-pointers. The sixth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft is having a strong start to his career as the team's sixth man while second-year player Bub Carrington handles starting duties at the point, but the young guards could switch roles at some point if Johnson continues to be the more productive of the two.
Oct 23, 2025
Drops 16 in debut
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.
ANALYSIS
While Johnson came off the bench backing up Bub Carrington, he did outscore him while playing three less minutes. The rookie also led the second unit in scoring and minutes played, seemingly solidifying his spot in the rotation for the forseeable future.
Oct 16, 2025
Not starting Thursday
Johnson won't start in Thursday's preseason game against Detroit.
ANALYSIS
With CJ McCollum (rest) returning to game action, Johnson will slide to the bench. The rookie guard got the starting nod in Monday's win over New York, recording 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three assists in 14 minutes.
Oct 14, 2025
Fares well as starter
Johnson put up 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and three assists in 14 minutes of Monday's 120-103 preseason win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards rested several key players, including CJ McCollum, allowing Johnson to start alongside Bub Carrington. However, the Wizards kept the minutes of both players in check, as the minutes were spread out to 15 total players Monday. With the Wizards in the early stages of a rebuild, Johnson's role figures to grow as the season progresses.
Oct 13, 2025
Starting Monday
Johnson will start in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
With CJ McCollum (rest) sidelined, Johnson will enter the starting five. The Texas product posted eight points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes in Sunday's preseason-opening loss to the Raptors.
Sep 24, 2025
Cleared for training camp
Johnson (hamstring) has been cleared to participate in training camp, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson dealt with a hamstring injury during Summer League in Las Vegas, with his last game being played on July 11 against the Suns, where he finished with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists and one steal. The second-year 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).
Jul 19, 2025
Done for Summer League
Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's Summer League game against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson's stint in the Las Vegas Summer League has officially come to an end. The Texas product played only two games, averaging 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 58.3 percent from the field and 45.5 percent from deep.
Jul 16, 2025
Won't go Wednesday
Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Summer League game against Utah, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson will miss a second straight game due to right hamstring soreness. His next chance to play will come Saturday. In two Summer League appearances, Johnson has scored 18 and 21 points.
Jul 15, 2025
Won't suit up Tuesday
Johnson won't play in Tuesday's Summer League game against the 76ers due to right hamstring tightness, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Johnson will miss his first Summer League matchup due to a hamstring issue. The 19-year-old is considered day-to-day, and his next opportunity to feature will come Wednesday against the Jazz.
Jul 11, 2025
Impresses in Summer League debut
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
Jun 25, 2025
Selected by Washington
Johnson was selected by the Wizards with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
ANALYSIS
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.
