Heat's James Johnson: Goes through shootaround, remains game-time call

Johnson (shoulder) was a participant in Monday's morning shootaround, but remains a game-time decision for the Heat's matchup with the Wizards later in the evening.

Analysis:

After missing the team's last four games, Johnson was upgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's contest, and his participation in shootaround seemingly bodes well for his availability. He's expected to test out the strained right shoulder during pregame warmups, but if all goes well, Johnson will likely be available off the bench. Once fully healthy, Johnson is expected to serve as the primary backup to starting power forward Josh McRoberts, which would likely result in Derrick Williams being ousted from coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.
