Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox basketball biography Dior Johnson (born January 28, 2004) is an American college basketball player who was committed to play as a freshman for the Pittsburgh Panthers of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in 2022–23, but instead redshirted the season without appearing a game and then leaving the school altogether. He currently attends Clarendon college. He was the #1 rated point guard in the country in high school, and he had been a consensus five-star recruit and one of the top players in the 2022 class.[1]
Early life
Johnson was born in Kingston, New York. Dior was raised by his single mother and his grandmother.
High school career
Throughout his high school career, Johnson played for 9 high schools in 5 different states.[2] Johnson started his high school career competing for his hometown Saugerties High School as a 7th and 8th grader. He broke the New York boys basketball state record for the youngest player to reach 1,000 points. After briefly attending IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida during his freshman year, Johnson returned home to play for Saugerties after sustaining an injury. Later on during his freshman season, he would again transfer to Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada. However, Findlay Prep's basketball program closed, leaving Johnson to transfer to Hillcrest Prep High School in Arizona. He eventually left Hillcrest before his sophomore season began, and was expected to play his sophomore season at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, but ended up enrolling at Mayfair High School in Lakewood, California. For his junior season, Johnson transferred to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia, but left the school after sustaining a leg injury. He then returned to California where he attended Centennial High School in Corona, but did not play basketball. As a senior, Johnson initially attended Prolific Prep in Napa, California before transferring midway through the season to SoCal Academy.

Arrest
Johnson pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges in December 2022 for simple assault and strangulation, stemming from a September 5th incident in the same year where he struck a woman multiple times, causing bruising, and forcing her head into a bed, making it difficult for her to breathe. Johnson was suspended from the Pitt Men's basketball team during this period, but was reinstated after pleading guilty. Johnson was sentenced to a year of probation and required to complete batterer's intervention. Johnson took a redshirt in the 2022–23 season as a result.[3][4][5] Subsequently, the university announced in August 2023 that Johnson was no longer enrolled.[6] Shortly after, Johnson matriculated at Clarendon College, a community college in Texas.[7]
