Nuggets, Nets Hold "Exploratory Talks" Regarding Cameron Johnson
According to Evan Sidery of Forbes, the Nuggets and Nets held "exploratory talks" surrounding forward Cameron Johnson. The former Sun has been rumored to be on the move for a while. But with teams having more flexibility to make trades, things are starting to pick up steam. Johnson had a rocky 2023-24 campaign. However, he's having the best year of his career, averaging 18.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 43.3% shooting from behind the arc. A trade with the Nuggets would likely involve Michael Porter Jr. Either way, it's unknown how much progress was made between both sides. With that in mind, Johnson would surely see a dip in production in Denver, considering he'd be sharing the floor with multi-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is available for Wednesday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The former Phoenix Sun has been plagued by injuries throughout his career. However, his absence in Monday's loss to Chicago was only his first of the 2024-25 campaign. Johnson has also averaged a career-high 18.1 points while shooting 42.2% from deep. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined, Johnson should continue to get more scoring opportunities than usual against an Indiana team that has allowed 119.1 points per game this season, the third-worst mark in the National Basketball Association.
Cameron Johnson Listed As Questionable Against Indiana
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers due to a left ankle sprain. If Johnson is unable to suit up, Tyrese Martin could see an increased role and potentially draw another start. Johnson has been an important contributor for the Nets, averaging 18.1 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. In his most recent outing against Orlando, he delivered an impressive 26 points in 36 minutes. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status, as a return would provide a significant boost to their lineups.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) will not suit up for Monday's tilt against Chicago. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Nets are down to bare bones on Monday, giving the likes of Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin a chance to showcase their talent better. Meanwhile, we should see Dennis Schroder a lot with the ball. The Brooklyn point guard has posted 20-plus points in each of his last three appearances and should do plenty of damage again on Monday, as the Bulls allow a league-high 124.2 points per game.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest with the Chicago Bulls. Johnson injured his ankle on Sunday and was diagnosed with a sprain. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this campaign, putting up a career-high 18.1 points and is 42.2 percent shooting from three-point range. If Johnson cannot suit up, the Nets will be very shorthanded. Ziaire Williams (knee), Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), and Ben Simmons (back) have all been ruled out.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has received the green light to play against Orlando on Friday. A sprained ankle gave him a questionable tag ahead of the contest, but Brooklyn has now upgraded Johnson to available. The 28-year-old has been in fine form this campaign, putting up a career-high 17.9 points with close to 42 percent shooting from three-point range. With Cam Thomas (hamstring) on the shelf, the Nets are going to need even more from Johnson on Friday night.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Johnson injured his ankle during Monday's game, but was able to suit up on Wednesday without any issues. He looked fine during that game as he finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists across 30 minutes of action. If he sits, Jalen Wilson (calf) would likely see more minutes, but if both players are out then the Nets would likely give Ziaire Williams a bigger look.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns. The 28-year-old is having the best season of his career, averaging 18.3 points while shooting 43.1% from behind the arc. Even better, he hasn't missed time after appearing in only 58 games during the 2023-24 campaign. But if the ankle injury keeps him off the floor, Dennis Schroder, Jalen Wilson, Ziaire Williams, and Ben Simmons could get more scoring chances, considering Cam Thomas (hamstring) is already ruled out and Nicolas Claxton (back) is questionable.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson has been in trade rumors all offseason, but the team has failed to find a deal to move him because the Nets reportedly have high trade demands for Johnson. The 28-year-old has played out a couple of solid campaigns in Brooklyn, but he doesn't appear to fit the team's long-term plans. Last season, Johnson notched 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 27.6 minutes. Following Mikal Bridges' exit, Johnson could have a bigger part to play with the Nets if he remains with the team.
Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson remains on the roster despite rumors of his eventual trade. The 28-year-old was reportedly mentioned in a trade involving Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro. However, according to NBA reporter Jed Katz, discussions between the Nets and Cavs "have stalled." Johnson is coming off a down year, averaging 13.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He was also limited to only 58 games due to injury and spent time coming off the bench. It appears Johnson has already played his final game in Brooklyn. Either way, the 2019 No. 11 overall pick has work to do to convince fantasy managers he's ready to turn things around, regardless of where he plays in the 2024-25 campaign.
