Joe Johnson, who figures to gain added ball distribution duties to help reserve point guards Shane Larkin and Donald Sloan combat the knee-injury loss of Jarrett Jack, is listed as questionable with a left thigh contusion for Wednesday’s home game with Toronto. Johnson is coming off his first back-to-back 20-points games of the season. He had 20 at Boston Saturday, 21 against the Celtics on Monday.
Johnson sat out practice Tuesday with the contusion but also as part of a plan to give him rest from his nightly near 35-minute workload.
