Jazz's Joe Johnson: Unlikely to play Sunday vs. Kings

Johnson (groin) appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Kings, Tony Jones of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Analysis:

The Jazz are labeling Johnson as questionable for Sunday's contest after he sat out Friday's win over the Nets with the sore left groin, but given the quality of the opponent, it looks like coach Quin Snyder may opt to give the veteran another day off and lean more on some of his other reserve wings in what should be a winnable game. It appears Rodney Hood (knee) is likely to return to action, so the Jazz should have enough depth on hand at the wing to get by without Johnson.
