Johnson will start Sunday's game against Denver, Blazers radio host Jay Allen reports.
With Justise Winslow (Achilles) sidelined, Johnson will move into the lineup on the wing for the first start of his NBA career. The 2021 first-round pick of the Clippers came over from Los Angeles earlier in the month as part of the Norman Powell/Robert Covington trade. Johnson made his Blazers debut Thursday night against Golden State, playing 17 minutes and posting four points, four rebounds and one block.
