Johnson (shoulder) is expected to be available to play without restrictions for Game 6 against the Hornets on Friday, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson was activated for Game 5 as well, which was his first opportunity to play since undergoing surgery on his left shoulder in early February. Despite being active, Johnson failed to get on the court, which may indicate he's not yet earned a spot back in the regular rotation after such a long absence. He's reportedly no longer just an emergency option and will be without restrictions Friday, although it remains unclear what kind of playing time he'll be afforded. Considering the uncertainty surrounding his minutes, it may be wise to steer clear of Johnson until we get a better understanding of his role now that he's back.
