Though Rockets forward Joe Johnson had an opportunity to do something he never had before, practicing on Thursday with the Rockets, he said the workouts Wednesday and Thursday were more important to get sharp again than to get accustomed to his new team.

“At the end of the day, it’s just basketball. It’s fun. It’s a great deal for me to be back for coach Mike D’Antoni.
