MISC.: The Orlando Magic on Tuesday signed Sacramento guard Anthony Johnson to what the Orlando Sentinel reported was a two-year, $3.8 million deal to back up starting point Jameer Nelson.

Along with Williams, Jazz backup point guard Ronnie Price — who is getting married this off-season — has worked out in the Jazz's Revue camp. Neither will play Revue games, though. ... Point guard Brian Chase, who spent part of one season in Utah, but never did appear in a regular-season game for the Jazz, is on the roster of Atlanta's Revue entry.
