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.

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.

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) exited Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter and did not return, finishing with four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes. 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.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is on the injury report with a probable designation ahead of Friday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. Earlier this week, Johnson hurt his right shoulder in a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite this, he played in a game on Wednesday night against the New Orleans Pelicans, and it appears that the injury will not prevent him from participating in Friday's contest either. Johnson hasn't been very productive through his first few games as a Nugget, recording 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. On Friday, he may have a larger role offensively if Jamal Murray (calf), who is listed as questionable on the injury report, exits the lineup.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is available for Wednesday evening's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson is the biggest addition from the recent major offseason changes, but he's struggled in the early season and recently suffered a minor shoulder injury. The 29-year-old left Monday's game in a victory against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fantasy owners should be happy that Johnson is not missing any time and is expected to continue holding his role in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, the role player is averaging just 8.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game so far in a new lineup. Denver hopes to get more out of Johnson as one of the best corner shooters in the league. The Pelicans' defense gives up 14 three-pointers per game to provide some fantasy upside for a sharpshooter benefiting from Nikola Jokic's passing.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) carries a questionable tag on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash against the New Orleans Pelicans. Johnson made an early exit on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a right shoulder problem, which could now keep him out of his first game of the season on Wednesday night. In Denver, Johnson has had a difficult start, averaging 8.3 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 36.4 percent. If Johnson is deemed unavailable for Wednesday, the Nuggets will likely rely more on Tim Hardaway Jr.and Peyton Watson.

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) has had a rough start to his first year in Denver, and that was made even worse by shoulder soreness that forced him to leave Monday's game early. He played only 19 minutes and had five points, two rebounds, and two assists against Minnesota in his team's 127-114 victory. Tim Hardaway Jr. played 32 minutes and had 20 points off the bench, while Peyton Watson also got plenty of run with 25 minutes, his most of the season. The Nuggets' next game is Wednesday night at home against the Pelicans, so keep an eye on Johnson's status. If he is out, Hardaway could be a nice DFS or streaming option in this favorable matchup.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Brooklyn Nets are trading forward Cameron Johnson to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. and an unprotected 2032 first-round draft pick. Statistically speaking, Johnson had the best season of his career in 2024, averaging 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 39.0% shooting from behind the arc. He has been involved in trade rumblings several times since his arrival from Phoenix in the deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Suns. While Denver will move on from Porter, the club will get a player capable of stretching the floor. With that said, the 29-year-old may not be as productive now that he's on the same team as three-time MVP Nikola Jokic. However, Johnson's biggest problem is his health, with the 2019 No. 11 overall pick never playing more than 66 games in a season since entering the National Basketball Association. Without a doubt, his potential regression on the scoring end and his history of injuries will make fantasy managers look in other directions.

Brooklyn Nets small forward Cameron Johnson (back) will not suit up for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Due to a nagging back injury, Johnson is not ready to return for Thursday night. This will be Johnson's fifth consecutive game that he's going to miss. His next chance to play will be against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, but the Nets have just three games left in their season, and Johnson just might get sidelined for the rest of the season due to his back injury. With Johnson out, Trendon Watford will remain in the starting lineup.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) will remain on the shelf for Tuesday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. He is struggling to recover from a lower back injury, and with only a few games left in the regular season, it would not be surprising if the Nets go the rest of the way without Johnson. With Johnson sidelined, Trendon Watford is likely to receive a third consecutive start. Watford has averaged 12.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists since moving to the starting unit.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (back) won't play on Monday night against Dallas. He had an excellent game in the recent win over the Washington Wizards, finishing with 18 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Unfortunately, he took a hard fall late in the contest and was ruled out. With Brooklyn already eliminated from Play-In contention, it's anyone's guess if Johnson has a few more games in him before the end of the regular season. But with Noah Clowney (ankle) also ruled out, Jalen Wilson may slide into the starting lineup, with the 24-year-old averaging 11.2 points in 18 starts this season. Trendon Watford should also see extra work after amassing seven points and two blocks versus the Wizards.
