Brooklyn Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo remains concerned about Joe Johnson’s health.
“If he can get healthy and do it in a timely manner, that’s fine,” Carlesimo said after Johnson had 15 points in 32 minutes in the Nets’ 105-96 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Saturday night at Barclays Center. “We need Joe Johnson.”
Since returning from heel and quad injuries that caused him to miss five games, Johnson is 9-for-27 from the field.
“I’m all right,” Johnson said. “Maybe a little limited to some of the things I can do out there on the court, but the coaches and guys are telling me just my presence out there makes a difference, so I’m just giving it all I’ve got.”
