RAPTORS TIMELINE
- MAY 1 1987 BIRTHDAY Birthday: Amir Johnson (born 1987) 451 games as a Raptor, career 2005-2018.
- AUG 18 2009 TRADE Raptors get Amir Johnson from Milwaukee in the Carlos Delfino deal Toronto acquired Johnson and Sonny Weems from the Bucks in exchange for Carlos Delfino and Roko Ukic.

- OCT 28 2009 DEBUT Amir Johnson debuts as a Raptor 2 PTS / 1 REB / 0 AST vs CLE
- JUL 8 2010 SIGNING Toronto bets $34 million on Amir Johnson days after losing Chris Bosh With Chris Bosh headed to Miami, the Raptors re-signed Johnson to a five-year, $34 million deal. It was a widely questioned price at the time for a career backup, and it made him the frontcourt anchor of the rebuild.WIKIPEDIA (opens another site)
- DEC 8 2013 MOMENT Amir drops a career-high 32 on the Lakers in Kobe's season debut Johnson scored 32 points with 10 rebounds in a 106-94 road win over the Lakers, the highest-scoring night of his 14-year NBA career. It came on the night Kobe Bryant returned from his Achilles injury, and with the Raptors freshly gutted by the Rudy Gay trade.ESPN (opens another site)
- MAR 28 2014 MOMENT Amir's putback with 7 seconds left ends a six-year playoff drought Johnson scored the winning basket with seven seconds on the clock as Toronto beat Boston 105-103, clinching the franchise's first playoff berth since 2008. DeMar DeRozan had 30 points; Johnson had the shot that mattered.ESPN (opens another site)
- 2015 RECORD He left Toronto second in franchise history with 480 blocked shots Across six seasons and 451 games as a Raptor, Johnson blocked 480 shots, trailing only Chris Bosh's 600 on the franchise's all-time list. For a player who was never a starting-caliber scorer, the defensive ledger is the case for him.LANDOFBASKETBALL (opens another site)
- APR 26 2015 FINAL GAME Amir Johnson's last game as a Raptor 4 PTS / 3 REB / 0 AST vs WAS
- JUL 9 2015 DEPARTURE Amir signs with Boston, and Toronto loses its longest-serving big man Johnson left in free agency for a two-year, $24 million deal with the Celtics, ending a six-season Raptors run. He had already told reporters "Toronto is part of me," and the goodbyes from Toronto media read like a send-off for a franchise favourite rather than a role player.WIKIPEDIA (opens another site)
