Wizards' AJ Johnson: Won't play Saturday

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Chicago.

Johnson will miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle contusion, but he'll have extra time to recover ahead of Washington's next contest Tuesday against Atlanta. The second-year guard has averaged just 4.8 minutes per game across eight appearances off the bench, so his absence won't impact the Wizards' backcourt rotation too much.
