Johnson is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Spurs, Newsday's Rod Boone reports.

Analysis:

Johnson was held out of Thursday's practice to rest, but he is good to go for Friday night's contest in San Antonio. Johnson recorded a double-double in the Nets' season opener, but shot just 4-of-15 from the field. He will have a tough time getting back on track Friday, as he figures to see a heavy dose of Kawhi Leonard when the Nets have the ball.
