Joe Johnson to Miss All-Star Game


CBSSports.com’s Ken Berger is reporting on Twitter that Joe Johnson will miss Atlanta’s next two games and the All-Star Game this weekend due to tendinitis in his left knee. Johnson, who was in the news yesterday with his comments on the struggling Hawks, is averaging 17.6 ppg for the 19-13 Hawks.

    Joe Johnson should not have been an all-star this year…as much as I love his game he has not showed progression at all…the Hawks desperately need to make a move or they will be bounced 1st round of the playoffs…I cosign with ‘spit hot fiyah’ Josh Smith earned it this year…JJ would make a solid #2 option imo…

    i really want to say Kyrie. what a rookie season. But Josh Smith was mad snubbed. gotta be him

  • Joey E. Posted: Feb.22 at 12:53 pm
    oooh, but rumor has it it’s Rondo. SMH

  • Ill Smith Posted: Feb.22 at 12:53 pm
    Does his ASG replacement have to be a guard? If so its either Rondo or Kyrie for the spot even though I’m not too sold on either pick. If not I see Stern giving it to Danny Granger.

    Yeah it has to be a big, if so I’ll be bias & say Noah or Boozer. Although I have a feeling it’ll be Bosh or Smith.

    Rondo deserves it. Almost averaging a triple double. One of the few people this year to already have a triple double.

    Boozer does not deserve to be in ASG this year, I’ve seen jelly that has more backbone than that guy…

  • Chris6 Posted: Feb.22 at 1:16 pm
    Bosh is already an all star this year

  • JTaylor21 Posted: Feb.22 at 1:20 pm
    Shouldn’t have made it in the first place.

  • Chou Posted: Feb.22 at 1:27 pm

    Amen @ house!

    JOSH SMITH, nuff said

  • dumbworld Posted: Feb.22 at 6:46 pm
    He has to be replaced by someone who plays his position idiots.. thats why Rondo was chosen, arguments can be made about J Lin and Kyrie but not Josh Smith… wtf?!

  • IAMORANGE4EVER Posted: Feb.22 at 6:46 pm
    Amar’e and Josh Smith face each other tonight at the Garden. Let’s see who’s the All-Star.

  • SikhWitIt Posted: Feb.22 at 7:59 pm
    Joe Johnson was an all-star?

  • riggs Posted: Feb.22 at 9:31 pm
    Josh Smith is really proving you guys wrong LMAO.

  • Ismael Posted: Feb.23 at 12:20 am
    He didn’t deserve to be an All-Star in the first place.
