Joe Johnson

Johnson is 40 years old, and is one of the greatest scorers of this generation, but he has not played a game in the NBA since 2018 with Houston. Johnson was drafted by the Celtics in 2001, and played 48 games with the team his rookie season before being traded to Phoenix. Now 20 years later, the seven-time All-Star will return to Boston, and is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday against Cleveland. Though this is an amazing story, at 40 years old, we can't expect too much from Johnson from a fantasy standpoint.

Johnson last played in the NBA in 2017-18 with the Rockets and Jazz, and the results were uninspiring. He's been staying sharp playing in the Big3 league, where he apparently won a championship in 2019 with a team called the Triplets and was named the league's MVP. Even if he signs with the Bucks, he won't help fantasy managers.

The event will feature "16 to 22 players from The Big3 who are negative for the coronavirus, and they will be quarantined in Los Angeles." The Big3 is full of former NBA players, and league organizers hope the tournament would "help curb the nation’s appetite for basketball in the aftermath of the coronavirus sports hiatus."

Johnson signed a non-guaranteed deal with the Pistons in September, appearing in four preseason games with Detroit and averaging 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds across 14.8 minutes. The Pistons opted to go with a younger player in Christian Wood for their final roster spot. Johnson is dealing with an Achilles injury and will likely have to prove his health before getting an opportunity elsewhere.
