Cameron Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Good to go Wednesday Johnson (thigh) is available to play in Wednesday's game against Boston.

Impact Johnson has missed the past four games for Brooklyn, but it's a good sign if the Nets are allowing him to play right before the All-Star break. The Nets are usually pretty cautious, so Johnson could potentially have restrictions Wednesday evening.

Likely to play Wednesday Coach Jacque Vaughn said Tuesday that Johnson (thigh) is on track to play in Wednesday's game versus the Celtics, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson has already been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Boston but appears likely to play in Wednesday's rematch. Johnson will likely replace Dorian Finney-Smith in the starting lineup if he's upgraded to available.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Tuesday Johnson (adductor) has been ruled out against the Celtics Tuesday.

Impact He'll miss his fourth straight game with adductor tightness with Ben Simmons likely continuing to start in his absence. Johnson does appear to be getting closer to a return and was spotted doing some on-court work with his next chance to suit up coming on Wednesday in a rematch at Boston.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Saturday Johnson (adductor) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Spurs and will be re-evaluated next week, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Remains out Thursday Johnson (adductor) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Cavaliers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Tuesday's game Johnson (groin) will not play Tuesday versus Dallas.

Impact Johnson exited Monday's loss to the Warriors after dealing with adductor soreness, and injury will cost him Tuesday's game. Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is out as well, likely leaving Royce O'Neale in line for a large workload while Trendon Watford could enter the rotation. Ben Simmons (back) is also active Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Tuesday Johnson (hip) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Dallas, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Johnson left Monday's loss to the Warriors after experiencing adductor soreness and will likely be sidelined for at least one game. If he's downgraded to out, his next chance to suit up would come Thursday versus Cleveland. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Lonnie Walker (hamstring) both out, Royce O'Neale could move into the starting lineup versus the Mavericks.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with hip soreness Johnson didn't return to Monday's game against the Warriors after experiencing adductor soreness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson had his minutes limited during the second half, and he was ultimately unable to re-enter the contest down the stretch of the fourth quarter. His status is now in question for Tuesday's matchup against the Mavericks, and he'll likely be evaluated again in the morning.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Johnson (personal) isn't on the Nets' injury report for Monday's game versus the Jazz, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Johnson missed Saturday's win over Houston due to personal reasons, but it appears he'll return to action Monday. He should reclaim a starting role, as Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out. Over his last 13 appearances (all starts), Johnson has averaged 11.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Out for personal reasons Johnson won't play in Saturday's game against Houston for personal reasons.

Impact This update comes from the official injury report, and it's not clear if Johnson will be back in time for Monday's game against Utah. In Johnson's absence, guys like Royce O'Neale, Cam Thomas and Lonnie Walker could be asked to step up.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Johnson (shoulder) is available for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Johnson was questionable for Thursday's matchup, but he'll be able to suit up despite his shoulder injury. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Thursday Johnson (left shoulder contusion) is questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Johnson must have tweaked his shoulder during Tuesday's game, but we'll have a better idea on his status for Thursday based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's not able to give it a go, that would result in more opportunity for guys like Cam Thomas and Royce O'Neale.

Pops for 19 against Knicks Johnson amassed 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 108-103 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The fifth-year forward produced his best scoring effort since he dropped 24 points on the Pistons on Boxing Day. Johnson's had a disappointing season so far, and his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction overall -- through 10 games in January he's averaging just 11.8 points, 3.9 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.4 threes while shooting 38.6 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from the free-throw line. Without a clear explanation for his shooting woes, Johnson's a tough player to keep active, but the upside he showed in 2022-23 makes him risky to drop.

Struggles continue in loss Johnson ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 105-103 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Johnson scored no more than 15 points for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing to struggle with his shot. He has been well outside the top 250 over the past two weeks, averaging just 9.6 points per game on 32.7 percent shooting. He will be better than this but managers may have to recalibrate when projecting his fantasy value moving forward. Based on what we have seen this season, he could be on the outside looking in when it comes to the top 100.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Decent output in loss Johnson closed Wednesday's 112-101 loss to the Rockets with 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 32 minutes.

Impact Johnson didn't have a good performance Wednesday, though his 15 points were enough to end up as one of the Nets' primary scorers in a game where the team only tallied 101 total points. Johnson has been consistent of late, scoring at least 15 points in seven of his last eight contests while shooting an impressive 55.9 percent from the field in that span.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Leads Brooklyn in loss Johnson finished Tuesday's 112-85 loss to the Pelicans with 17 points (6-for-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 26 minutes.

Impact Cam Johnson was responsible for five of the Nets' 11 three-point makes in Tuesday's loss. Only three Brooklyn players -- Johnson, Mikal Bridges and Day'Ron Sharpe -- scored in double-digits in a game when the Nets scored just 34 points in the first half. Johnson is averaging 17.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting over his last 10 games.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Set to play against Washington Johnson (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson will return to action Friday after missing Wednesday's game versus the Bucks due to right knee injury management. Johnson will likely reclaim his starting spot from Royce O'Neale.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Johnson has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee due to right knee injury management, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Johnson had appeared in the Nets' last 22 games, but he'll be one of several key contributors sidelined Wednesday in the second half of a back-to-back set. His next chance to suit up will be Friday against the Wizards. Royce O'Neale, Mikal Bridges and Trendon Watford are candidates to see increased run Wednesday, especially if Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is ruled out.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands team-high 24 points Johnson had 24 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 118-112 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Johnson led the way with 24 points including 4-of-6 from the perimeter, helping the Nets to a narrow victory. It's been an indifferent season for Johnson, doing enough to be rostered everywhere, yet remaining somewhat underwhelming. Managers should perhaps view this as a potential sell-high opportunity, especially if he can string a few productive games together.

DECEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bounces back against Knicks Johnson closed with 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 121-102 loss to the Knicks.

Impact After scoring just seven points in his previous outing, Johnson had his highest points total since Nov. 22 in Wednesday's loss. Johnson continues to be one of the league's best long-range shooters, as he is shooting 41.9 percent on 6.2 three-point attempts per contest over his last 10 appearances.

DECEMBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles with shot in loss Johnson notched seven points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 125-108 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Johnson scored in single digits for just the third time this season. Coming into the contest, he averaged 14.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 29.2 minutes per game over 17 appearances since returning to action following a multi-week absence due to injury. Some fantasy managers were expecting a breakout season for the sharpshooter in his first full campaign with Brooklyn, but that hasn't been the case yet, though the injury to begin the season -- plus the emergence of Cam Thomas -- may be playing a part in his modest role thus far.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet night Saturday Johnson supplied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Saturday's 124-120 loss to Golden State.

Impact Johnson really couldn't get going in the loss, scoring 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting. The five assists were somewhat of a surprise, salvaging an otherwise poor night. He has scored fewer than 20 points in 11 consecutive games, continuing his serviceable yet underwhelming season. He is outside the top 100 for the season but should be able to push back inside the top 80 at some point.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Surprising defensive stats in win Johnson produced 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 116-112 victory over the Suns.

Impact Johnson did a little of everything Wednesday, finishing as one of five Nets with double-digit scoring and adding five boards and four dimes. He also had a solid night on the defensive end, racking up multiple thefts and blocks for the first time this season. The defensive numbers were a nice surprise for fantasy managers who are used to getting very little from Johnson in that area -- prior to Wednesday, he had tallied a combined two steals and zero blocks over his past seven contests. He's been a pretty consistent middle-of-the-road scorer of late, though, posting between 10 and 19 points in eight of his past nine games.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles from field Monday Johnson had 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-118 loss to the Kings.

Impact Johnson has settled himself as a reliable 15-point scorer who can contribute to other categories as well, though he's not expected to lead Brooklyn offensively on a regular basis. His numbers back that up, as he's averaging 14.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game over his last 10 outings. That kind of consistency is useful in most formats, particularly in category-based leagues.
