It's not like it put a damper on probably the Raptors' biggest win of the season so far, 103-99 over LeBron James and the Cavaliers Wednesday, on one of the biggest nights of the year, Drake Night, but it was still cause for a little consternation.
Backup forward James Johnson sent out a tweet after the win that seemed to imply he wasn't happy with how - or how little - the Raptors used him.
Johnson played just 5:28 Wednesday, recording one rebound on his time on the court. Starter DeMarre Carroll played more than 40 minutes in the win, while Luis Scola logged nearly 30 minutes and fellow backup forward Patrick Patterson was on the court for 25 minutes.
He took to Twitter once again Thursday to apologize for the tweet.
Johnson has played in 12 games with three starts for the Raptors this season, averaging 13.5 minutes.
