Nets' Johnson out Wednesday vs. Bulls

The Brooklyn Nets will once again be without shooting guard Joe Johnson when they take on the Chicago Bulls on the road Wednesday. 

Johnson, who is averaging 15.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists, missed Monday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers with the flu, and it will keep him out again. He won't travel with the team to Chicago and neither is Brook Lopez, who is expected to be sidelined for a week with a lower-back strain. 

Brooklyn takes a two-game losing streak into the contest versus the 12-8 Bulls.
