Heat's James Johnson: Will warmup with intent to play Monday

Johnson (shoulder) will warm up prior to Monday's game against the Wizards with the intention of playing, Manny Navarro of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Johnson has missed the last four games with the shoulder injury, but it now looks like he'll be available to offer assistance to a banged-up Heat team. Look for him to serve as the primary backup to starting power forward Josh McRoberts, which could mean a diminished role for Derrick Williams, who played 22.8 minutes per game in Johnson's absence.
