The impressive bench of the Toronto Raptors may have suffered a blow on Saturday, as forward James Johnson left the team's game against the Utah Jazz with a sprained right ankle.
Johnson suffered the injury after rolling his ankle on a camera man's foot in the fourth quarter. After briefly returning to the game the team announced that he was done for the night.
Johnson was in a walking boot after Saturday's game, but said he hopes to play Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies, according to Sportsnet's Eric Smith.
Johnson has been impressive so far early in his second stint with the Raptors, providing plenty of energy, defense and rebounding in the second unit.
