Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson (groin) ruled out for Friday in Utah

Utah Jazz guard/forward Joe Johnson (groin) is out for Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets.

What It Means:

While the official word is a groin injury, this could also be just a maintenance day for the veteran against the lowly Nets. However, the news came after roster lock, so those with Joe Ingles in their lineups because of the absence of Rodney Hood could get an extra bump tonight without Johnson as well.

Our models projects Ingles for 8.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 25.8 minutes on Friday.
