Johnson (hip) is expected to miss several weeks, the Los Angeles Times' Mike Bresnahan reports.

Analysis:

His recovery from a strained hip flexor, which he suffered Sunday, will be measured in weeks, not days, and he will likely be out until late-January. In the meantime, Nick Young will see an even larger role, especially Monday with Kobe Bryant sitting out the second game of a back-to-back. Wayne Ellington will also be asked to take on a larger role in the Lakers' offense while Johnson is out.
