Cameron Johnson Fantasy Stats

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (lower body) is available for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors after initially carrying a probable tag for injury management. Johnson appeared to grab the back of his left leg late in Monday's loss to Portland, but he avoided another absence after already missing three games with a right ankle sprain. The 30-year-old is averaging 8.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists through three appearances and has gone just 3-for-11 from three since returning. With Spencer Jones (hamstring) and Julian Strawther (knee) still out, Johnson should continue getting plenty of opportunities to work his way back into form.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to injury management. Johnson recently returned from a right ankle sprain that sidelined him for three games and has yet to find much rhythm, finishing Monday's loss to Portland with seven points on 2-for-5 shooting. The 30-year-old is averaging 8.0 points and 5.0 rebounds through three appearances this season. With Spencer Jones (hamstring) and Julian Strawther (knee) both out, Denver remains thin on the wing. If Johnson is held out, Trevon Brazile could see additional minutes.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns after missing the past three contests. Johnson sprained his ankle in the season opener at Oklahoma City, finishing with five points and two rebounds in 11 minutes before exiting. Denver turned to its young forwards while he was out, with Trevon Brazile posting 11 points and eight rebounds in a start Wednesday and Bryce Hopkins starting the previous two games. Johnson averaged 12.2 points and 2.0 threes while shooting 43.0 percent from deep last season. His return is likely to squeeze Hopkins' role first, while Brazile should remain involved.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns, according to Kellan Olson. Johnson sprained his ankle in the season opener against Oklahoma City and has missed the past three games. He dealt with inflammation in the same ankle last season, so Denver has reason to be careful with his return. Trevon Brazile has taken advantage of the opening, finishing with 11 points and eight rebounds in 31 minutes Wednesday against New Orleans. Bryce Hopkins has also seen time in the starting lineup, but Brazile looks like the better bet for another sizable role if Johnson remains out.

Denver Nuggets forward Cam Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors with a right ankle sprain. Johnson will miss his second straight contest after exiting the season opener against Oklahoma City, and the 30-year-old also dealt with right ankle inflammation late last season. Bryce Hopkins started in his place Saturday, but Trevon Brazile made the stronger case for an extra run with 17 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench. With Alpha Diallo (wrist) also sidelined, Brazile should stay firmly in Denver's rotation while Johnson is out.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors, according to Katy Winge. Johnson sprained his right ankle late in the first half of Thursday's season-opening loss to Oklahoma City and missed Saturday's overtime win over New Orleans. The 30-year-old averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting 43.0% from three last season. Bryce Hopkins started Saturday but scored only two points in 19 minutes. Trevon Brazile made a stronger case for an extra run, finishing with 17 points and nine rebounds in 28 minutes, including seven points in overtime.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson appears likely to stay put, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The Nuggets have rebuffed salary-dump inquiries on Johnson, who is owed $23.06 million in the final year of his deal. Even under second-apron pressure, Denver was pleased enough with his production to hold him. Johnson posted career-high efficiency in his first Nuggets season, shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 43.0 percent from three while averaging 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 54 games, a knee bone bruise costing him over a month. The fantasy read is steady but modest: playing off Nikola Jokic lifts his percentages but caps his volume, making him an efficient deeper-league wing rather than a standard-league must-draft. A late surge to 15.2 points a night hints at more if his usage climbs.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's encounter with the Utah Jazz. Back spasms prevented Johnson from finishing Sunday's game against Golden State, but he won't have to miss additional time due to the issue. However, Spencer Jones (hamstring) and Zeke Nnaji (hip), who both also exited early on Sunday, won't be available against Utah. Considering those absences, Johnson could see increased minutes on Wednesday in a highly favorable fantasy matchup.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (back) is expected to play on Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets, as the team has listed him as probable. Johnson struggled with back spasms during Monday's loss to Oklahoma City. His move to Denver has not worked out well for Johnson, who has managed only 11.1 points per game. The 30-year-old recently had his second game of the season with zero points. Over his last six outings, Johnson has contributed only 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, shooting a horrible 27.9 percent from the field.

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.
