The small forward will return to the Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Johnson suffered the injury Jan. 4 against the Indiana Pacers.

The No. 4 pick in the 2010 draft out of Syracuse is averaging a career-high 9.4 points and 29.3 minutes per game this season.
