CAMERON JOHNSON NEWS

Strong showing in OT loss Johnson posted 20 points (7-14 FG, 6-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The 28-year-old forward set new highs on the young season in points, boards, assists and made threes, although it wasn't enough to get the Nets into the win column. Johnson has scored at least 12 points in all four games so far in 2024-25, but as yet he isn't showing signs of taking a big step forward from his numbers the last couple of campaigns, remaining in a complementary role despite Brooklyn's need for someone to emerge as a lead dog on offense.

Underwhelms in loss Friday Johnson closed Friday's 116-101 loss to the Magic with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 35 minutes.

Impact Johnson delivered an uninspiring performance, despite scoring double-digits for the second straight game. Although expectations are somewhat muted, managers would love to see Johnson doing a bit more on both ends of the floor. He remains a viable fantasy asset for now, however, if things don't start to trend in the right direction, he could eventually become expendable.

Erupts for 32 points in loss Johnson totaled 32 points (11-21 FG, 7-14 3PT, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Raptors.

Impact Johnson came from the clouds to score a game-high 32 points, reminding everyone just what he is capable of on the offensive end of the floor. With the Nets unlikely to challenge for a playoff spot, Johnson could be primed for a bounce-back campaign after struggling in recent years. Both he and Cam Thomas should have a green light to fire off as many shots as they like. Typically available after pick 100 in standard leagues, Johnson could prove to be a difference-maker should his confidence return this season.

Solid display Wednesday Johnson posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds and six assists across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact Johnson was one of six Brooklyn players who scored in double digits Wednesday, and one of the three starters who reached the 10-point threshold. Johnson is set to open the season as the Nets' starting small forward, and while the team is bound to struggle right out of the gate, Johnson could have decent fantasy upside with freedom to shoot and his ability to contribute in other categories, such as rebounds and assists.

Impact Johnson was initially considered doubtful, but the Nets won't risk him, and the forward will miss a game for the fifth time over Brooklyn's last seven contests.

Brings defensive numbers in return Johnson (toe) recorded five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Johnson had started in both of his previous two appearances, but he came off the bench Sunday in his return from a three-game absence due to a left big toe sprain. According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Johnson wasn't on a minute restriction Sunday, but Nets interim coach Kevin Ollie may have elected to keep the 28-year-old's playing time in check anyway after he didn't have his usual deft touch from beyond the arc. The day wasn't a total loss for Johnson's fantasy managers, however, as he delivered some atypical production in the defensive categories.
