Johnson, 23, arrives after a strong start to the season with the Cleveland Charge, the Cleveland Cavaliers' G League affiliate, where he averaged 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in 16 games. Brooklyn had been the league's lone team with an open two-way spot, and Johnson's recent stretch of play made the decision straightforward. What the Nets are getting isn't just production.
The Toronto Maple Leafs added goaltending insurance on Tuesday by inking RFA netminder Dennis Hildeby to a three-year contract, The Athletic reported. The contract is structured somewhat uniquely as it's a t wo-way contract for the first two seasons, then converts to a one-way NHL contract in year three. Is GM Brad Treliving sending a message with this deal? There's plenty to unpack here, folks.
