Cameron Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Briefly exits against Philadelphia Johnson returned to Tuesday's game versus the 76ers with 3:16 remaining in the first quarter after exiting with a potential ankle injury, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Johnson left Tuesday's contest with 6:55 remaining in the first quarter after landing on Kyle Lowry during a three-point attempt. However, Johnson only missed about three minutes of game action and is available to play out the remainder of the contest.

Scores 18 points in loss Monday Johnson chipped in 18 points (6-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Johnson didn't have his best shooting display, but he still posted a decent scoring line while also contributing in several categories across the board. Even though Mikal Bridges is the team's go-to player on offense, Johnson has been remarkably consistent as a second-best alternative. He's averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.3 steals per contest since the league resumed following the All-Star break while also hitting the 18-point mark in his last three starts.

Goes for 23 points in victory Johnson supplied 23 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 win over Atlanta.

Impact Johnson has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games, and surprisingly, this is the first time he's achieved that feat in the current campaign. Johnson holds a secondary role in the Nets' offensive scheme, but he certainly gives the offense another dimension when he's shooting the ball at a high clip. It's also worth noting he's now scored in double digits in four of his last five apperances.

Scores season-high 29 points Johnson registered 29 points (10-15 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Johnson had one of his most efficient performances of the season and not only led the Nets in scoring but also posted his best scoring mark of the campaign. Johnson has only scored 20 or more points five times in the current season, and while he's expected to remain a secondary piece in Brooklyn's offensive scheme, he should remain a capable fantasy performer across all formats. He's averaging 12.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.9 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Gets starting nod Johnson is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson will replace Cam Thomas (ankle) in the starting five Tuesday. Johnson is averaging 13.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.2 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

Balanced outing off bench in loss Johnson provided 10 points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 101-86 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Johnson led all bench players in Saturday's contest in scoring while pacing the Nets second unit in rebounds in a balanced performance in a losing effort. Johnson had a bounce-back outing after failing to reach double figures the last two games, ending as one of five Brooklyn players with a double-digit point total. Johnson has recorded 10 or more points with seven or more boards in seven contests this year.

Limited impact in return Johnson (adductor) tallied four points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 136-86 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Johnson made his return from a four-game absence due to adductor tightness, but based on how he performed Wednesday, the Nets may have in hindsight preferred to have held him out. In fairness, Johnson didn't get much support from his teammates Wednesday, as the Celtics ran the Nets out of the gym early and built a 36-point halftime lead. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too discouraged by Johnson's modest minutes total either, as it likely isn't an accurate representation of what he'll receive in a competitive game moving forward. No Nets player logged more than 26 minutes in the blowout loss, and all 14 active players saw at least eight minutes. With the All-Star break on the horizon, Johnson and the Nets will have plenty of time to regroup before the team returns to action Feb. 22 versus Toronto.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Johnson (thigh) is available to play in Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact Johnson has missed the past four games for Brooklyn, but it's a good sign if the Nets are allowing him to play right before the All-Star break. The Nets are usually pretty cautious, so Johnson could potentially have restrictions Wednesday evening.

FEBRUARY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Wednesday Coach Jacque Vaughn said Tuesday that Johnson (thigh) is on track to play in Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Boston but appears likely to play in Wednesday's rematch. Johnson will likely replace Dorian Finney-Smith in the starting lineup if he's upgraded to available.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Tuesday Johnson (adductor) has been ruled out against the Celtics Tuesday.

Impact He'll miss his fourth straight game with adductor tightness with Ben Simmons likely continuing to start in his absence. Johnson does appear to be getting closer to a return and was spotted doing some on-court work with his next chance to suit up coming on Wednesday in a rematch at Boston.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Saturday Johnson (adductor) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs and will be re-evaluated next week, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson has already been ruled out Thursday and will miss his third straight contest Saturday due to left adductor tightness. Ben Simmons will likely continue to start in his absence. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Boston.

FEBRUARY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Thursday Johnson (adductor) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

Impact Johnson will miss his second straight contest Thursday due to left adductor tightness. Ben Simmons started the previous game in his absence. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Spurs.

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Tuesday's game Johnson (groin) will not play Tuesday versus Dallas.

Impact Johnson exited Monday's loss to the Warriors after dealing with adductor soreness, and injury will cost him Tuesday's game. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is out as well, likely leaving Royce O'Neale in line for a large workload while Trendon Watford could enter the rotation. Ben Simmons (back) is also active Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Johnson (hip) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Dallas, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Johnson left Monday's loss to the Warriors after experiencing adductor soreness and will likely be sidelined for at least one game. If he's downgraded to out, his next chance to suit up would come Thursday versus Cleveland. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Lonnie Walker (hamstring) both out, Royce O'Neale could move into the starting lineup versus the Mavericks.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hip soreness Johnson didn't return to Monday's game against the Warriors after experiencing adductor soreness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson had his minutes limited during the second half, and he was ultimately unable to re-enter the contest down the stretch of the fourth quarter. His status is now in question for Tuesday's matchup against the Mavericks, and he'll likely be evaluated again in the morning.

FEBRUARY 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Johnson (personal) isn't on the Nets' injury report for Monday's game versus the Jazz, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Johnson missed Saturday's win over Houston due to personal reasons, but it appears he'll return to action Monday. He should reclaim a starting role, as Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out. Over his last 13 appearances (all starts), Johnson has averaged 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Johnson won't play in Saturday's game against Houston for personal reasons.

Impact This update comes from the official injury report, and it's not clear if Johnson will be back in time for Monday's game against Utah. In Johnson's absence, guys like Royce O'Neale, Cam Thomas and Lonnie Walker could be asked to step up.

JANUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Johnson (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Johnson was questionable for Thursday's matchup, but he'll be able to suit up despite his shoulder injury. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

JANUARY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Johnson (left shoulder contusion) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson must have tweaked his shoulder during Tuesday's game, but we'll have a better idea on his status for Thursday based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's not able to give it a go, that would result in more opportunity for guys like Cam Thomas and Royce O'Neale.

Pops for 19 against Knicks Johnson amassed 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The fifth-year forward produced his best scoring effort since he dropped 24 points on the Pistons on Boxing Day. Johnson's had a disappointing season so far, and his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction overall -- through 10 games in January he's averaging just 11.8 points, 3.9 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.4 threes while shooting 38.6 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from the free-throw line. Without a clear explanation for his shooting woes, Johnson's a tough player to keep active, but the upside he showed in 2022-23 makes him risky to drop.

Struggles continue in loss Johnson ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 105-103 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Johnson scored no more than 15 points for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing to struggle with his shot. He has been well outside the top 250 over the past two weeks, averaging just 9.6 points per game on 32.7 percent shooting. He will be better than this but managers may have to recalibrate when projecting his fantasy value moving forward. Based on what we have seen this season, he could be on the outside looking in when it comes to the top 100.

JANUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Decent output in loss Johnson closed Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Rockets with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 32 minutes.

Impact Johnson didn't have a good performance Wednesday, though his 15 points were enough to end up as one of the Nets' primary scorers in a game where the team only tallied 101 total points. Johnson has been consistent of late, scoring at least 15 points in seven of his last eight contests while shooting an impressive 55.9 percent from the field in that span.
