James Johnson is ready to make his season debut for the Miami Heat. After having hernia surgery before the season, he’s been making great progress and will return without a minutes restriction.
He’s listed as probable for Sunday night against the L.A. Lakers. So, he’s either ready or will be this week.
And the Miami Heat need his help after starting the season 6-9. Johnson has been an off and on starter for the Heat over the last three seasons at power forward. So far this season the Heat have used both Kelly Olynyk and Justise Winslow as starters there as well as Derrick Jones Jr.
