Head coach Dusty May said Wednesday that Johnson has been limited in training camp due to lower-leg soreness, Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports reports.

The Mavericks have been managing Johnson's workload ahead of his rookie season, with May noting that the 20-year-old participated in every other live session Wednesday. Additionally, May said Monday that the power forward was getting close to practicing in full.
