Nets sign Linton Johnson
September 1, 2005
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Nets on Thursday signed free agent Linton Johnson, a forward who missed all but two games last season with the San Antonio Spurs because of a stress fracture in his ankle.
Johnson, 6-foot-8, was a rookie with the Chicago Bulls in 2003-04. He played in 41 games and averaged 4.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 18 minutes. He was released by the Bulls midway through the season and played 21 games for Rockford in the CBA, averaging 15.6 points and 8.5 rebounds.
The Bulls re-signed Johnson in February and he spent the rest of the season with the team.
