Cameron Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Denver Nuggets

Struggles with shot in victory Johnson accumulated 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Friday's 127-120 victory over the Suns.

Impact Johnson battled through a tough shooting night, going two-of-eight from deep, but came one rebound shy of a double-double. With Julian Srawther out until at least Thanksgiving, Johnson is the frontrunner to hold down a starting role at the wing.

Day-to-day with ankle sprain Head coach David Aldeman said that Johnson is "day-to-day" due to his sprained right ankle, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson won't play Saturday against the Pelicans, but it sounds like the ankle sprain he's dealing with his relatively minor. For now, Johnson should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Warriors.

Drains four treys in preseason win Johnson delivered 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and an assist in 25 minutes during Sunday's preseason win over the Bulls.

Impact The veteran forward was locked in from downtown as the Nuggets' starting five all played at least 23 minutes in preparation for Opening Night. Johnson has never suited up for more than 66 regular-season games in a campaign as injuries have plagued him since being the 11th overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, but he's been a valuable secondary scorer when healthy, averaging at least 12.2 points and 2.0 threes and shooting 39.0 percent or better from beyond the arc in each of the last five seasons.

Puts up 10 points in victory Johnson tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), a rebound and an assist across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 117-106 win over the Jazz.

Impact Johnson is firmly entrenched as a starter for the Nuggets at the start of the season, despite the addition of veteran DeMar DeRozan, who will compete for time at Johnson's position. Staying on the court has been a consistent problem for Johnson, who has averaged just 56.3 games per season over the past three campaigns, and the organization hopes he can exceed his career-high watermark of 57 games.
