"Nah, I'm not done," Johnson said when asked if he's given up on making a comeback. "We'll see what happens here ... we'll see, man. We'll see. I don't have nothing definite to tell you, to be honest with you. But, I'mma be out here trying to get some stuff done."
Johnson last appeared in an NBA game in 2018 as a member of the Houston Rockets. He joined the BIG3 a year later and won the championship in his first season with the Triplets.
The University of Arkansas product averaged 22.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals across eight appearances for the Triplets during the 2021 BIG3 season.
The 40-year-old spent most of his NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks (seven seasons). He also played for the Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
