    ‘It’s a pain in his foot and ankle,’ Heat head coach Eric Spoelstra said.

    ‘Everything is okay. He was relieved because at first we had the worst thoughts. But we’ll see if we can do an MRI. (On Tuesday) Now he has to wrap his ankle with tape. But consider it a good sign. But we need to know more.’

    Johnson averaged 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.4 minutes per game.
