Heat reserves James Johnson and Tyler Johnson, who have combined to form one of the NBA’s highest-scoring bench duos, will miss Monday’s game against Cleveland with injuries, with Tyler Johnson’s issue involving the same shoulder that has sidelined him three times in the past.
Both hope they won’t miss much time but aren’t certain.
James Johnson has a right elbow laceration sustained during Saturday’s game against Cleveland. Tyler Johnson said his injury is a sore left shoulder, with Erik Spoelstra also citing the neck region.
Tyler Johnson sustained his injury last Wednesday against Orlando and re-aggravated it against Cleveland on Saturday.
