Raptors' James Johnson: Doesn't play in Game 1 loss

Johnson (coach's decision) didn't play in Tuesday's 102-96 overtime loss to the Heat in Game 1 of the series.

Analysis:

Johnson only made one appearance during the Raptors' seven-game first-round series with the Pacers, so it's safe to say that he's no longer a part of the rotation. With DeMarre Carroll healthy after missing most of the season while recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery, there's not much of a need for coach Dwane Casey to turn to Johnson for minutes on the wing.
