Johnson will start Sunday against the Knicks, TSN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Johnson is ultimately starting Sunday because of the continued absence of DeMar DeRozan (groin) and the most recent absence of Landry Fields (concussion). With the start, Johnson will likely face Carmelo Anthony on the defensive side of the ball, which means that Johnson has a long day ahead of him.
