Johnson (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Hornets, Eric Smith of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Johnson is battling an ankle injury, which kept him out of Saturday's game against the Celtics. TSN reported earlier in the week that Johnson is without a timetable, and with the playoffs approaching the Raptors will be very careful in bringing him back, as the goal is obviously to have him ready for the postseason. Coach Dwane Casey said that he's leaning toward starting Tyler Hansbrough in Johnson's place.
