After landing awkwardly on Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez Monday, Tyler Johnson said that he “felt like my knee popped.” Fortunately, X-rays revealed no structural damage, and the team ruled the injury a left ankle sprain.
Today, Johnson saw a doctor for a second opinion. Nothing new was found. And Johnson thinks he’ll be out days, not weeks.
Tyler Johnson went to see doctor for second opinion today. Nothing new found. It's still just a sprained ankle and he will not play vs. Nets tomorrow.

As I emphasized Tuesday, this is good news for the Heat.
