Analysis:
Johnson, who was still in the boot Wednesday, is making progress as he recovers from a severely sprained right ankle, which he suffered Saturday against the Jazz. He remains without a firm return timetable, but the fact that he's shed the boot is certainly encouraging. Until he returns, expect Patrick Patterson and Tyler Hansbrough's respective workloads to see a mild boost.
