Cameron Johnson Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports. There was hope that Johnson's absence due to an ankle injury would be limited to one game after the team listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Johnson's next opportunity to return will be Friday night against the New York Knicks. With Johnson out on Monday against Utah, Denver experimented with Jonas Valanciunas in the starting lineup next to Nikola Jokic. Meanwhile, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown both saw 30-plus minutes off the bench. The two will probably continue to have a heavier workload on Thursday night.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. Johnson is dealing with right ankle inflammation after he exited Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter and did not return due to the injury. With Johnson on the shelf, Tim Hardaway Jr. becomes the most promising fantasy option after logging 36 minutes with 17 points and three triples on Sunday. Bruce Brown could also qualify as a decent streaming option with added minutes on his plate for this evening's contest.

Johnson came in dealing with right ankle soreness, had trouble finding his rhythm, and now has little recovery time before the trip to Utah. If he sits, Tim Hardaway Jr. becomes the most appealing fantasy option after logging 36 minutes with 17 points and three triples. Bruce Brown added six points in 28 minutes and profiles as a deeper-league streamer, while Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic could absorb added usage.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) is available to suit up ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Johnson is back after being sidelined since December 23 due to a right knee bone bruise. Given he has missed over a month of action, Johnson figures to operate under a minutes limit on Saturday. His return to the rotation should mean fewer minutes for Julian Strawther and Bruce Brown. This season, Johnson is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game. His fantasy value will be capped until he gets back up to full speed. Once he's fully healthy, Johnson should be worth rostering in deep leagues at the minimum.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) was upgraded to questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's clash against the Chicago Bulls. He is closing in on his return to the lineup, and Johnson's comeback would come at a great time for the Nuggets, who have just lost Peyton Watson (hamstring) for several weeks. However, because he has not played since Dec. 23, Johnson will likely see limited minutes when he first comes back. Johnson has been inconsistent during his first year in Denver, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) is hopeful to be cleared before the All-Star break after missing time since late December with a right knee bone bruise. While no firm date is set, the update tightens the window and puts his return on the near-term radar. Johnson is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game across 28 starts, a modest fantasy profile. His return would squeeze Jalen Pickett and Spencer Jones, who have handled spot starts but remain volatile. Johnson profiles as a cautious hold, with limited upside unless his minutes climb quickly.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee and is expected to miss some time, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The team has officially listed him as out for Thursday's Christmas clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. will compete for a starting role during Johnson's absence, while Peyton Watson could also help to fill some of his minutes. Hardaway Jr. has had a hot hand lately, sinking 13 triples across two games, though Brown and Watson bring more overall versatility to fantasy teams.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) will undergo an MRI after injuring his right knee in Tuesday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. He was hurt early in the fourth quarter, with the team announcing that Johnson had sustained a right knee sprain. The 29-year-old is averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes during his first year in Denver. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr., who posted a second consecutive 20-point game on Tuesday, will likely see increased minutes if Johnson has to miss time.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (biceps) will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. The 29-year-old sustained a right biceps strain last week and sat out Saturday's win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Initially, he was in danger of missing a second straight game after the team listed him as questionable for Monday's matchup. With Johnson sidelined against Minnesota, Tim Hardaway Jr. had a sparkling performance with 22 points as a starter. On Monday, Hardaway Jr. will head back to the bench. Johnson's time in Denver has been a nightmare so far, as he has averaged only 7.2 points and 2.6 rebounds in 24.5 minutes. Hardaway Jr. has been significantly more productive than him and will remain a better fantasy option even as a reserve.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (biceps) won't play on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Net suffered a biceps strain during Wednesday's game versus the Clippers. While there hasn't been an official update regarding a return timetable, it's reasonable to assume he may miss more time moving forward. Nikola Jokic (wrist) is available, which is good news. However, with Johnson and Christian Braun (ankle) sidelined, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Peyton Watson, who are both starting on Saturday night, should be viewed as risky, high-upside streaming options.
