Johnson (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Lakers, Shandel Richardson of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Johnson scored a career-high 26 points in Monday's win over Phoenix but emerged from the game with a minor ankle injury. After being limited in Tuesday's practice, he's been given the green light by the Heat's training staff, and he'll be available off the bench Wednesday. The Fresno State product has scored in double-figures four times this season, but he's also see his minutes fluctuate drastically since signing on in mid-January. AFter Monday's performance, however, he figures to be a fixture in the rotation, at least in the short-term.
