On December 7, Johnson expressed his commitment to the Brooklyn Nets, emphasizing his desire to contribute to the team's growth under coach Jordi Fernandez. Despite recent trade rumors following Dennis Schroder's departure to the Golden State Warriors, the Nets are hesitant to part with the 28-year-old forward unless they receive a compelling offer.

Johnson's impressive performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he scored 28 points in 28 minutes, strengthens his position on the team. The Nets are not in a hurry to trade him, but they remain open to the possibility if the right deal arises. Clarity on Johnson's future is anticipated in the coming weeks as the team prepares for their upcoming game against the Toronto Raptors.
