Ex-Cat Johnson guaranteed pay for play
Nick Johnson was able to attend the Arizona-UCLA game because the Houston Rockets had two days off after a game at Utah and will play Sunday at the L.A. Clippers. Johnson has played 671 minutes for the Rio Grande Valley Vipers of the NBA D-League this year and 192 minutes for the Rockets. As a UA senior, he played 1,255 minutes. But his foot is firmly in the NBA door; he is being paid $507,336 this season and is guaranteed $845,059 next year.
