Johnson has agreed to a contract with Filipino club Talk N'Text, Sportando reports.

Yes, that's a real team name. Johnson, who was waived by the Mavericks' D-League affiliate earlier in February, will take his game across the ocean in an effort to restore some value. His contract with Talk N'Text includes an out clause if any NBA teams express interest in the forward, who hasn't played in the league since 2012-13.

Johnson has been cut from the Mavericks, RealGM.com reports.

Johnson has played sparingly in the preseason and could look to latch on with another team or join a D-League squad.

Johnson (illness) was able to participate in Tuesday's preseason loss to the Rockets. He finished 0-for-5 from the field in 10 minutes of action.

Johnson picked up two points on two made free-throws but did little else to prove he deserves one of Dallas' coveted roster spots.

Johnson missed practice Wednesday with a stomach illness, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Dwain Price reports.

It sounds like just a minor ailment, and he should be healthy for the start of the regular season.

The Mavericks have signed PF/C Ivan Johnson, who spent the 2013-14 season playing in China.

Johnson averaged 7.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 4.4 fouls while playing with the Mavs' Summer League team, but the 6'10" bruiser did enough to earn a spot on the regular season roster. He's buried behind Tyson Chandler, Brandan Wright and Greg Smith on the depth chart, making it very unlikely that he'll offer fantasy value.

Free agent PF/C Ivan Johnson will play for the Mavericks' Summer League team.

Johnson played in China last season but didn't love the experience, so he's hoping to rejuvenate his NBA career. He's already worked out for the Nets, Blazers and Spurs this summer, and should be able to land a minimum contract to fill out a team's frontcourt depth chart.

Free agent Ivan Johnson worked out for the Nets on Wednesday.

He added he didn't really enjoy his time in China. "The food. They don't cook it all the way through," Johnson said. "The rooms smell like [a] sewer. There's a lot of stuff you gotta deal with over there. I dealt with it, though. I had to." Johnson couldn't latch on with an NBA team last year and he may have a tougher time now that he's 30 years old.

Ivan Johnson has been released by Zhejiang Chouzhou of the Chinese Basketball Association.

The Atlanta Hawks are one of several teams reportedly interested in Johnson's services, so there is a very good chance he'll be back in the NBA this season. Johnson had been lighting up the CBA, but his fantasy value if he returns to the NBA will be reserved for the deepest of leagues.

The Hawks are one of several teams with interest in signing Ivan Johnson once his season ends in China, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

The regular season ends on Feb. 16 in China, so some team looking for a little depth might give Ivan a 10-day deal. Johnson is tearing it up in China with averages of 25.8 points, 10.2 boards, 2.9 steals and 2.3 triples on 61.8 percent shooting. Even if he makes an NBA team, he's still unlikely to have fantasy value.

Ivan Johnson will sign with Zhejiang Chouzhou in China, according to his agent.

He reportedly gave NBA teams a two-week deadline back on August 19, so that didn't pique much interest of teams still looking to add a big man. Johnson started his NBA career at 27 years old back in the 2011-12 season, so he'll be past his prime once his one-year deal is over.

Ivan Johnson has given teams a two-week deadline to come up with a reasonable offer on a contract.

If he doesn't get a deal, he could be headed overseas. It sounds like a reasonable offer may not be a minimum deal for the unrestricted free agent, but considering how most teams have either their cap space or roster close to capacity, that might be all he can get.

Ivan Johnson's agent has looked into "overseas options" for his client, according to HoopsHype.

Johnson is an unrestricted FA and the only teams linked to him thus far have been the Knicks and the Hawks, neither of whom are likely to offer more than the veteran's minimum.

Free agent Ivan Johnson is in discussion with the Knicks, a player source told ESPN.com.

"I think it would be a great fit for Ivan to get big minutes [in New York] and further prove he can play in this league," the source said. The Knicks have a handful of aging, injury-prone big men, so the more depth they can get, the better off they'll be. Johnson did not get a qualifying offer from the Hawks and is an unrestricted free agent.

The Hawks are still interested in bringing back UFA Ivan Johnson.

He appeared out of the blue for the Hawks in 2011-12 and averaged 62.5 games per season over the last two years. The Hawks brought on Elton Brand to be a backup big man, but they could use Johnson since his contract should be relatively cheap.

The Hawks will not send a qualifying offer to Ivan Johnson.

He'll become an unrestricted free agent. Johnson came out of nowhere last season with the Hawks, playing 16.7 minutes per game in 2011-12 and 15.0 last season.The 29-year-old big man is strong offensive rebounder and has the size to cover centers in the low post. Even though he's on the open market, the Hawks can still re-sign him.

Ivan Johnson scored 12 points with 10 boards and one steal in Atlanta's ugly 113-96 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.

The Hawks needed this game and now they will need to beat New York on top of Chicago losing to Washington in order to get the five seed. Although, potentially playing the Heat in the second round is not exactly a picnic. As for Johnson, he could be a spot-start option in fantasy leagues with Al Horford and Josh Smith being banged up.

Ivan Johnson scored nine points with six rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday.

Johnson hit 4-of-6 shots on the night and is worth a look if you're in need of a big man in a deeper format. Just keep in mind the Hawks' light remaining schedule.

Ivan Johnson (personal) played in Friday's 101-90 loss to the Sixers, scoring 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds in 26 minutes off the bench.

Johnson has hit the radar for two games now in the past week or so, and there is a chance he can carve out a role for the shallow Hawks. Then again, there's also the chance he remains inconsistent or goes back to his season-long role as 'non-existent.'

Ivan Johnson went back to his secondary role with the Hawks on Monday, playing 19 points for seven points and five boards against the Cavs.

Al Horford returned to the lineup and Johnson can be put back on the wire in most leagues. He did have a 21-point outburst on Saturday, so owners might want to keep that in mind should Al Horford ever get rest.

Ivan Johnson started the second half for the Hawks on Saturday and scored a career-high-tying 21 points, with 10 rebounds, three steals and one block.

The highlight of the game may have been Johnson's devastating dunk over Kyle O'Quinn, which will earn the Hawks' blue-collar PF some rare time on ESPN. Though encouraging for a Hawks team which just lost Zaza Pachulia (Achilles) for the season, Al Horford's day-to-day status makes Johnson a non-factor in fantasy leagues.
