Cameron Johnson out at least one month Brian Windhorst: Suns forward Cameron Johnson had surgery today that removed part of his meniscus, a procedure that should allow him to retu...
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • HOOPSHYPE.COM
Opts for surgery, out 1-to-2 months Johnson underwent surgery Tuesday to remove part of his meniscus and will be sidelined for 1-to-2 months, Brian Windhorst of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Johnson suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers. There was concern that maybe the fourth-year forward would miss the entire season following surgery, but he appears to have avoided a more significant procedure and could return to game action before the All-Star break. Before the injury, Johnson scored in double figures in five of seven appearances and was shooting 44 percent from three. Torrey Craig has replaced Johnson in the starting five the past two games, but Damion Lee, Landry Shamet and Dario Saric are also candidates for increased roles while Johnson is sidelined.

Meniscus tear confirmed, surgery on tap The Suns confirmed Sunday that Johnson suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic. He's scheduled to...
Impact A more precise timeline for Johnson's return may not be established until surgery is completed, but if the fourth-year forward requires a meniscus repair procedure rather than a menisectomy, he could be in danger of missing the remainder of the season. If a menisectomy is ordered up, Johnson could be back in action in as soon as a month, but the Suns will be without the 26-year-old for an extended period regardless. Torrey Craig replaced Johnson in the starting five in Saturday's win over Portland in the second half of a back-to-back set, and Craig and Dario Saric look to be the main candidates to cover Johnson's minutes while Jae Crowder remains away from the team and has thus far shown no interest in backing off his request to be traded elsewhere.

Torn meniscus feared The Suns fear Johnson suffered a torn meniscus Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact More testing is necessary, but this is a tough blow for the Suns and Johnson either way, as the forward will presumably be sidelined for an extended period. In his absence, more minutes will be available for the likes of Torrey Craig, Damion Lee, Landry Shamet and Cameron Payne. However, none of them may be relevant in standard fantasy leagues for the duration of Johnson's absence.

Won't play Saturday Johnson (knee) will miss Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Johnson injured his knee during the first quarter of Friday's contest against Portland and will miss the rematch because of the issue. Torrey Craig and Damion Lee both saw expanded minutes following his departure and will likely do so again Saturday.

Hurts knee Friday Johnson injured his right knee in the first quarter of Friday's loss to Portland and did not return to the contest, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Impact It's not exactly clear how Johnson got hurt, though it appears that he may have injured his knee while shifting to get back on defense in transition. Before departing, the forward went 0-for-2 from the field and dished one assist over five minutes. More information about Johnson's status should be available Saturday, but given that he left the arena on crutches (per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic), it seems unlikely that he'll play in the second game of the back-to-back set.

Scintillating effort in win Johnson accumulated 29 points (10-17 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 victory over the Timberwo...
Impact Deandre Ayton's (ankle) injury shuffled up the lineup last week and thrust Johnson into a starting role. While Bismack Biyombo has filled Ayton's gap, Johnson has absorbed the frontcourt production, adding a dimension Ayton doesn't have. Johnson's floor-stretching, long-range jumper is one of the best facets of his game, and he used it to full advantage with seven threes in the victory.

Another sub-par effort Tuesday Johnson notched nine points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 134-105 victory over Golden State.
Impact Johnson disappointed again in the win despite playing a season-high 33 minutes. After being elevated into the starting lineup, it's been a rough few games for Johnson, averaging just 10.0 points to go with 4.0 boards. For anyone who spent a late mid-round pick on Johnson, patience is going to be required. He is worth holding, but his lack of upside also needs to be accounted for when summing up the situation.

Solid in win Johnson ended Sunday's 112-95 win over the Clippers with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes.
Impact Johnson (hip) was efficient and productive in a limited sample size. Still nursing a hip contusion, Phoenix had no reason to push Johnson after establishing a sizable lead early in the contest. Johnson will likely have a full workload Tuesday against Golden State.
