Just when the Atlanta Hawks finally appeared to be getting fully healthy, they had another setback. All-Star guard Joe Johnson missed the Hawks' game Wednesday night against Minnesota because of illness, offsetting the return of Al Horford from a 12-game absence. Johnson missed the past two days of practice and did not make the trip to Minneapolis for the game against the Timberwolves.
