Celtics' Amir Johnson: Will play Sunday, despite ankle issue

Johnson, who picked up an ankle injury in Friday's win over the Magic, has been cleared to play Sunday against the Knicks, Jay King of MassLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Johnson hurt his ankle after landing on the foot of the Magic's Nikola Vucevic in the first half Friday, but he was able to stay in the game, finishing with five points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal. It's expected that he'll start at power forward as usual and face no minute restrictions.
