'Iso Joe' Johnson calls return to Celtics after 20 years 'surreal'

Joe Johnson received a warm welcome at TD Garden on Wednesday night and if for any who might have missed it among holiday travel, it wasn't as a fan.

Johnson, nicknamed "Iso Joe" for his ability to score on the specific play, signed a 10-day contract with the Boston Celtics ahead of their tilt against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It came 20 years after he made his NBA debut with the team and three years since he last played in the league.
