Amir Johnson May Rest Ankle Until After ASG 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:57 pm

Amir Johnson has been extremely durable for the Toronto Raptors, but sat out Monday's game with an ankle injury.


Johnson may rest the injury until after the All-Star break.


“We’ll see how it feels (Tuesday),” Dwane Casey said. “The MRI came back, it was clean. There’s no structural damage, just kind of sore and a little swelling ... He’s probably better-served just to let it rest.”

Good decision.
He's a really valuable guy to have when fully healthy. Raps fans have been consistently moaning about his lack of production. You can't be productive when you're not 100 percent, especially when your most important trait is hustle.

Obviously rest him, its one game! As long as Casey doesn't play Hayes they are golden

Amir Johnson has been critical to the Raptors' success and when Raps fan complain about him it makes me cringe
