Joe Johnson:Will make Heat debut on Sunday

Johnson will make his debut for the Heat in Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ethan J. Skolnick of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

It wasn't clear if Johnson would be available immediately after officially signing with the Heat on Saturday, but the veteran will indeed make his debut. It remains to be determined whether or not he'll start or how many minutes he'll receive, so expectations for Sunday's outing should be tempered. Coach Erik Spoelstra could need a couple weeks to determine how sizable of a role Johnson will play on a regular basis.
