After going unselected in the 2025 NBA draft, Johnson signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers on June 27, 2025.[11] He was waived prior to the start of the regular season on October 14.[12] Johnson subsequently joined the Cleveland Charge of the NBA G League, where he averaged 12.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks across 16 appearances (10 starts).[13]
