Johnson won't start Tuesday versus the Suns, with Kobe Bryant moving to small forward and Jodie Meeks taking over two-guard, the Lakers' official site reports.

Analysis:

Although he's moving back to the reserve unit, where he's spent eight of the Lakers' 20 games this season, his presumed demotion shouldn't hinder his production due to averages of 8.3 points (on 32.5 percent shooting), 4.3 boards, 1.5 blocks, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.3 assists, and 0.8 steals in 23.4 minutes per game.
