Nets' Chaney Johnson: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Johnson (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's California Classic Summer League game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
After posting a double-double Saturday, Johnson will be held out of the second leg of a back-to-back-to-back set, and for now, he can be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with Warriors Blue. Aaron Scott will have a chance to get into the rotation Sunday with Johnson inactive.

Nets' Chaney Johnson: Gets extended run in second half
Rotowire
Johnson recorded 12 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during the Nets' 121-92 loss to the Thunder on Wednesday.
The Thunder led by as many as 42 points during Wednesday's game, which prompted both teams to empty the bench in the fourth quarter. That gave Johnson the opportunity for an extended run, and the undrafted rookie out of Auburn capitalized by scoring 10 points in the second half while connecting on all four of his field-goal attempts. He has scored in double digits in back-to-back games and could see more playing time moving forward if Noah Clowney were to miss time, as the latter left in the first quarter of Wednesday's game due to a right wrist sprain.
