Limited impact in loss Johnson had four points (2-3 FG), one rebound, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 83-72 loss to Texas A&M.

Impact Johnson contributed in several facets, but it wasn't enough to prevent Auburn from suffering its first loss since Feb. 8 against Florida. The forward simply wasn't assertive as a scorer, only attempting three shots despite 24 minutes of action. It wasn't necessarily a bad performance from Johnson; just a quiet one. And in a game where the Tigers' stars (i.e. Johni Broome) didn't have their best game, Auburn needed more out of its glue guys.

Nearly perfect off the bench Johnson supplied 20 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 win over Vanderbilt.

Impact Johnson dropped 20 points off the bench and was a stunning 9-of-10 from the field, with his only miss coming on a three-point attempt (where the forward shoots 29.7 percent this season). Johnson has been extremely efficient in his last three outings and will remain a key part of Auburn's front court, even off the bench since the return of Johni Broome.

Minutes predictably dip Johnson notched seven points (2-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two steals across 17 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 87-74 win over LSU.

Impact With Johni Broome back in the starting lineup, Johnson's minutes predictably dwindled down to 17 in the win over LSU after the forward averaged 31.3 minutes across the previous three games. He still made an impact, scoring seven points and grabbing six boards, but don't expect Johnson to be a huge X-factor now that Broome is healthy once more.

Strong effort sans Broome Johnson accumulated 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, four blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 88-66 win over Mississippi State.

Impact In relief of starting center Johni Broome (ankle) and playing a season-high minutes total, Johnson was able to produce his third-best scoring and second-best rebounding efforts of the year. His four blocks were also a career high. The senior should continue to be extra productive for as long as Broome remains absent, and Broome's status for Saturday's matchup at Georgia is currently unknown.

Starting for Broome Johnson will start for the injured Johni Broome (ankle), Nathan King of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Johnson will get his first start of the season in place of the injured superstar forward Broome. Johnson has played in all 16 games this season for the Tigers, and has been no slouch himself, averaging 10.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists across 22.6 minutes.

Explodes vs. Georgia State Johnson closed with 26 points (12-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 100-59 win over Georgia State.

Impact Johnson practically couldn't miss against Georgia State. He was dynamite from the floor, hitting 12 of his 14 attempts. His eye-raising 26-point outburst is even more impressive considering only two of those points came at the charity stripe, and none came from downtown. Johnson has been a valuable bench piece for the Tigers all season, but his performance proved that he can provide more than just a spark off the bench if needed.

Near double-double in loss Johnson supplied nine points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes during Saturday's 81-65 loss to Florida.

Impact The junior was a points away from securing a double-double during Saturday's road loss to Florida. Johnson had his second best rebounding performance and this can be something Auburn could depend on from him as the season continues. Expect Johnson to remain to have a bench role on this team.
