Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson will sit out Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Johnson’s sore knee stiffened during Wednesday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. It was his first game back after missing two games.

The All-Star guard had 18 points on 6-of-17 shooting against the Warriors.

Willie Green would normally replace Johnson, but he has been dealing with back spasms.
