Johnson recorded five points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in just under 15 minutes before making his way to the locker room with head athletic trainer Will Sevening.
The third-year forward changed shoes and tried to give it a go to start the second half but was noticeably sluggish on the court and headed back to the locker room within a few minutes.
