Impact Johnson has been sidelined by a bone bruise in his right knee since Dec. 23, but the recent update indicates that the seventh-year pro could be cleared to return by early February. He started in each of his 28 outings prior to the injury, and his return would likely result in Jalen Pickett or Spencer Jones reverting to a bench role. Johnson is averaging 11.7 points per game in his first season with the Nuggets, which is his lowest scoring output since the 2020-21 season as a member of the Suns (9.6 points per game across 60 regular-season games).

Impact Johnson is still recovering from a bone bruise in his right knee and hasn't played since Dec. 23. The 29-year-old forward was initially given a re-evaluation timetable of four to six weeks, though it appears likely he'll be re-evaluated closer to the back end of that timeline. He should be considered week-to-week until the Nuggets offer an update on his progress.

Sidelined for at least four weeks Johnson will be reevaluated in 4-to-6 weeks due to a right knee contusion, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Johnson was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee after the Nuggets' loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday. The estimated timeline means the seventh-year wing will not return until late January at the earliest. Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown are the top candidates to enter the starting lineup, and Peyton Watson and Julian Strawther should also take on increased roles for as long as Johnson is sidelined.

To miss time with knee bone bruise Johnson (knee) is expected to miss "some time", Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact After leaving Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks, the forward has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee. The Nuggets begin a seven-game road trip with Saturday's matchup in Orlando, and it's unknown if Johnson will be able to return at some point during that swing. With Johnson likely sidelined for at least Denver's next few contests, both Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown are worthy of roster consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Unable to return Tuesday Johnson sustained a sprained right knee in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks and did not return.

Impact Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final quarter. He was deemed questionable to return but never checked back in, finishing with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes. The Nuggets are expected to provide an update on his status for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota by Wednesday night.

Questionable to return Tuesday Johnson is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a right knee sprain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Johnson went to the locker room early in the fourth quarter after sustaining a knee injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be brought back to Tuesday's game. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway are poised for larger roles down the stretch if Johnson is not cleared to return.

Impact Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and stayed down for an extended period. He grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final frame. If the 29-year-old swingman is unable to return, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Posts double-double in victory Johnson recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

Impact Johnson achieved his first double-double of the campaign as he recorded more than six rebounds in a game for the first time this season. He has retained consistent playing time lately, establishing himself as a regular starter and contributing mainly to the scoring column.

Continues playing heavy minutes Johnson notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.

Impact Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep.
