James Johnson to play Friday in Denver

James Johnson, who sat out the Miami Heat’s Wednesday night win over the Chicago Bulls with tendinitis in his right knee, said that he would play tomorrow night at the Denver Nuggets.

Johnson, who was named as one of three captains for the team this season along with Udonis Haslem and Goran Dragic, said that he’s said tendinitis for a while and that it “flared up” in Wednesday morning’s shootaround. He hopes that “treatment non-stop” will help him put the tendinitis behind him, he said.
