Jazz's Joe Johnson: Cleared to play

Johnson (illness) has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Nuggets, Jody Genessy of Deseret News reports.

Analysis:

Johnson had been battling an illness Tuesday, but he's apparently moved past the ailment and should be available in his usual capacity Wednesday. The veteran has been an efficient scorer from beyond the arc (45.2%) this season, but his fairly limited role (23.9 minutes per game) has relegated him to fringe status as a fantasy commodity.
