Atlanta Hawks / Schedule
Johnson took a premature exit in the first quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. He logged five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals in six minutes.
With Johnson out, Jonathan Kuminga is expected to draw more exposure. The forward is making his Hawks debut after being acquired from the Golden State Warriors in the past trade deadline.
Johnson earned his first career All-Star nod this season. He is averaging 23.4 points, 10.8 boards, 8.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 53 games played.
