It'll give Johnson a few extra days to rest the injury before Indiana's huge trip to Iowa next Tuesday.
Indiana's Robert Johnson will not play in tomorrow's matchup against Illinois, per a report from AllHoosiers.com's Justin Albers.

Johnson is averaging 8 points a game and 3 assists on the 2016 for the Hoosiers. He'll likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Illinois native Nick Zeisloft, and fellow Illinois native & freshman walk-on Harrison Niego will likely see significant minutes. And, as we wrote previously, this might not be a bad idea.
