Johnson (illness) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports. Johnson has missed the last four days, including two games, while battling a stomach virus. His presence at practice is a solid indication that he has a good chance to return against Philadelphia on Friday, though the team is yet to offer official confirmation. If he does, indeed, return, expect Alan Anderson to return to a bench role.
