James Johnson is set to miss the start of training camp after failing to meet the Miami Heat's strict conditioning requirements the franchise demands of its players.

The team said as much on a release on Tuesday, with newly extended head coach Erik Spoelstra adding very little to the specifics:

The Miami Heat announced today that James Johnson will miss the beginning of camp because he fell short of our conditioning requirements. Once he fulfills and maintains those requirements, he will rejoin the team.

“JJ is not here,” Spoelstra said at the close of the Heat's first of two-a-day practices, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. “He did not meet the requirements that he knew about and we set for him coming into camp. He is still very much a part of our team and we hope to get him back soon. The rest of it is handled in the statement. And we want what's best for him and hopefully he'll be back soon.”

Johnson is hardly the first player to get this hand dealt to him, as others like Dion Waiters have suffered a similar fate. The 6-foot-9 forward is coming off an injury-riddled season in which he only played 55 games, getting the nod to start in 33 of them. Johnson's minutes have gone down in each of his three seasons with Miami, and perhaps because he has been unable to regain the spectacular physical shape he was in during his 2016-17 season.

The 32-year-old averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game last season, and he still has some work to do before he can rejoin the team and make a bid for rejoining Spoelstra's rotation.
