Injury status of Wake Forest’s Torry Johnson for Tuesday’s game vs. Pittsburgh

Wake Forest Demon Deacon guard Torry Johnson is questionable for Tuesday’s ACC Tournament first round matchup with the Pittsburgh Panthers with a knee injury. Johnson sat out the three previous games with a bruised right knee.

In an article that appeared on the Winston-Salem Journal website, Johnson said it’s painful to move but wants to get back on the court since this is his senior season. Johnson appeared in 28 games this season and is averaging 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 24.7 minutes per game.

Pittsburgh is 1-6 against the spread in its last seven games, and Wake Forest finished out the season 2-4 against the number.
