Josh Smith gets snubbed big-time for All-Star team (updated)
Johnson practiced with the team Friday morning at the team's shootaround at Philips Arena. The four-time All-Star said his Achilles had been bothering him for the last month and a half or two months.
"I just felt it was time for me to get a little rest off of it and try and let it heal up a little bit," he said.
Johnson said he won't limit his minutes on the floor against the Bobcats. In his absence, the Hawks beat New Jersey but lost at Toronto Wednesday night on a last-second basket.
"It's going to be good to get back out there with the fellas and start us a new streak," he said.
