Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Johnson and forward Gerald Wallace are both game-time decisions tonight against the Chicago Bulls, according to the Nets.
Johnson has missed the last five games since suffering a quad contusion against the Los Angeles Clippers, using the time off to also rest his sore heel. Wallace, who arrived at Barclays Center around 3:30, has a sore left foot that kept him out Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Bulls have even bigger injury issues: along with playing without star point guard and former MVP Derrick Rose all season, they’ll also be without center Joakim Noah, forward Taj Gibson, guard Rip Hamilton, and swingman Marco Belinelli.
The Nets are back home in Brooklyn tonight for the first time since March 17th, going 5-3 on their eight-game, 17-day road trip.
