Joe Johnson to sit second straight game with sore left heel

Joe Johnson will miss his second straight game with a sore left heel. Double J, who sat out Brooklyn's Friday night loss to the Houston Rockets, will miss Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Nets announced Johnson's absence as well as Jerry Stackhouse, who will get some rest.

ESPN New York reported that Johnson felt pain in his heel prior to the All-Star break. The Nets don't play until a Tuesday road game against the New Orleans Hornets.

Injury Update: Joe Johnson (sore left heel) and Jerry Stackhouse (rest) will each miss tonight's game against Memphis.
