Joe Johnson To Miss Wednesdays Game Against Twolves,Al Horford Expected to Play, Speedy Claxton is doubtful
Joe Johnson did not make up the trip to Minnesota due to a viral infection. He has missed the last two days of practice and is listed as day to day. Maurice Evans is expected to start in Johnson’s place. On another note Al Horford made the trip up to Minnesota and is expected to suit up for the first time in 12 games. Al has been side-lined with a bruised knee and has been sorely missed in the interior. He will have his hands full against Al Jefferson, who is averaging 23.2 ppg and 10.6 rebounds a contest.
Hopefully, Joe will only be missing the upcoming contest between the T-Wolves. Maybe Joe can rest his legs and get back to normal, during his absence from the team. Personally I think Flip should get the start against the T-wolves, but that is up to Mike Woodsen who is losing control of the team (According to ESPN The Magazine). Chris and I have not had a chance to read this article, but we will report back when we do. The game tomorrow is a must win for the Atlanta Hawks who have struggled as of late. The next fives games are all potential wins for the Hawks and I would like to see them finish strong heading into the all-star break.
The Hawks have struggled when there starters miss games due to injury. Joe’s illness does not come at a good time and I hope he can suit it up this coming Friday. Whenever one of our starters miss a game we struggle. This is why we need to make a move for a veteran bench player to help when this sort of thing happens. Hopefully before the February trading deadline, we can get this done or sign a free agent.
Also, Speedy Claxton will miss the game. Speedy has not played in a regular season game, since March 3, 2007. Apparently, he still has a strained hamstring. He is still loving Atlanta though collecting about 5.5 million dollars this season. There is no way you are still hurt Speedy… you really just don’t want to play. Thanks for nothing.
