The Utah Jazz have started to get the ball rolling as of late after winning their third straight following their 106-77 thrashing of the Denver Nuggets. More impressive, it was their second win of more than 30 points over the last week.

With the Jazz finally finding their rhythm on offense, that could spell good news for veteran forward Joe Johnson's impending return. According to Nick Bolerjack of UtahJazz.com, Johnson has started to show some progress:

Johnson re-consulted with a hand specialist on Tuesday and is showing progress to make a return. He will be reevaluated in two weeks. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.

Johnson's progress is certainly good news for Jazz fans. Despite their recent scoring surge over the past three games, Utah has largely struggled with consistency on the offensive end throughout the year.

Fortunately, Johnson's return will help bring a stable scoring punch to this otherwise shaky group. Regardless, the Jazz have done a nice job taking care of business on both ends in the absence of arguably their two most key players in Johnson and center Rudy Gobert.

Despite Johnson's well-known scoring prowess, he struggled to find his footing prior to the injury. The 17-year veteran was averaging just 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 19.2 minutes per game this year.
