James Johnson Watch Week 22: Beware the coming twilight

Is it just injuries or is the sun setting on James Johnson's playing time with the Raptors?

Imagine in your line of work the entire run of your career could be summarized in a 15 to 20 year stretch. You'd be essentially hired at the minimum legal working age -- say, around 14 or so -- and groomed for a position that a minuscule few actually get. You're promoted after four or five years, and then happily elevated again to the top position in your field. You've made it and you're only around 20 years old. This is the dream.
