N.C. State got good news on freshman guard Markell Johnson’s knee on Friday.
Johnson suffered a sprain and bone bruise in his left knee in the first half of Wednesday’s 78-74 loss at Clemson but avoided serious injury.
Johnson will travel with the team to Brooklyn for the ACC tournament and will be a game-time decision.
