Johnson (foot) is unable to play Monday against the Timberwolves, Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe reports.

Analysis:

Johnson has been struggling with plantar fasciitis in his left foot and has been able to practice for the last two days. The big man was listed as "50-50" to participate in Monday's game, but it looks like the Celtics took the safer route and decided to sit him to avoid further injury. Expect David Lee and Jonas Jerebko to see increased minutes for Boston.
