In addition to Kobe Bryant sitting out Saturday’s practice (rest), Wesley Johnson did not practice after tweaking his right ankle Friday. But according to the team, the small forward is expecting to suit up and play against the Kings.
Johnson played 28 minutes against Oklahoma City, putting in seven points, three rebounds and three assists. Overall, Johnson is averaging 8.8 points per game. Johnson has started all 26 games this season might be relied on more should Nick Young be suspended for his flagrant 2 foul from Friday.
