Impact Johnson suffered a shoulder injury in Monday's game against the Timberwolves. He played in 19 minutes before being ruled out, and now he's in danger of missing a game. If Johnson can't play, the team will likely turn to Tim Hardaway, Bruce Brown and Peyton Watson to shoulder the load.

Disappoints in team debut Johnson ended with five points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to the Warriors.

Impact It's difficult to play a pivotal role when Aaron Gordon drops 50 points alongside you, and it's part of the reason Johnson's involvement was limited during his first game with the Nuggets. Johnson is expected to fill the role vacated by Michael Porter, and Johnson's past seasons have displayed the kind of production Denver expects at the position. It may take some time for Johnson to find his role in the offense, but he'll likely see improvement when Gordon's numbers fall back to earth.

Notches 11 points in win Johnson produced 11 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes of Tuesday's 124-117 preseason win over Chicago.

Impact Denver's first unit was on cruise control in this game in what was a dress rehearsal for the starters, although they all had modest workloads by design. Johnson looks like a seamless fit in Denver, with his floor spacing providing an easy outlet pass for Nikola Jokic.

Improves in second preseason game Johnson tallied 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot over 20 minutes during Monday's 112-108 preseason win over the Raptors.

Impact It may take some time for Johnson to gel fully with his teammates, as he's now occupying a role previously filled by Michael Porter, who was a mainstay in the offense for six seasons. Johnson brings a slightly different skillset to the table, as his perimeter shooting is a hallmark of his game. He sports a career average of 5.9 three-point attempts per game, which is slightly higher than Porter's work beyond the arc. While he'll still play a complementary role in the offense, he'll being a different dimension to the team as a third or fourth-best offensive option.

Muted performance in Denver debut Johnson logged two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist over 15 minutes during the Nuggets' 126-116 preseason loss to the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Impact Johnson made his first appearance in a Nuggets uniform Saturday, though he didn't make much of an impact on the offensive side of the floor. He spent the last two full seasons with the Nets but was traded by Brooklyn to Denver in late June in exchange for Michael Porter and an unprotected 2032 first-round pick. Johnson averaged a career-high 18.8 minutes per game for the Nets last season, but he's expected to take on a more complimentary role while playing alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

JUNE 30 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Headed to Denver The Nuggets acquired Johnson (back) in exchange for Michael Porter and a first-round pick on Monday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

Impact The Nuggets needed to add some much-needed floor spacing and a reliable three-point threat to their offensive scheme, and Johnson excels on both traits. The six-year forward connected on 39 percent of his threes on 7.2 attempts per game in the 2024-25 campaign while also averaging 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game. Johnson should be an immediate starter for the Nuggets, but his fantasy stock will probably take a hit compared to his Brooklyn days since he'll now be the team's third option on offense (at best) behind the star duo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
