According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Denver Nuggets will be without their veteran shooter for four-to-six weeks. Cam Johnson suffered a hyperextended right knee.

The injury occurred during Tuesday’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks, as Johnson only appeared in 24 minutes that saw him post eight points, two rebounds, and three assists.

Johnson joins Aaron Gordon, who is dealing with a hamstring strain, and Christian Braun, who is dealing with a severe ankle sprain, on the injury report for Denver.

Even with all these injuries, Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets are 22-8 and third in the Western Conference.

Cam Johnson Out At least 6 Games

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, the Brooklyn Nets will be without their starting power forward for at least 10 days.

If it is only 10 days, then he will be back to face the Boston Celtics. However, that is being very optimistic. The current timeline has stated “at least” and that is never good, especially an injury to the leg.

The 27-year-old is currently dealing with a calf injury, which was suffered during Brooklyn’s regular season opener on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s believed to be a left calf strain diagnosed as a contusion.

An MRI has confirmed this diagnosis. It should also be mentioned he has dealt with hamstring and leg injuries before, most recently dealing with a hamstring strain.

In the one game he has played, he put up 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists on 50% shooting from the field.

Nets, Cam Johnson Agree To Extension

Nets, Cam Johnson Agree To Extension

After Joe Harris was traded from Brooklyn to the Detroit Pistons, it was clear as day Cam Johnson would be re-signing with the Nets.

Johnson agreed to a four-year, $108 million deal that gives him the biggest contract of his entire career.

Cam Johnson was a restricted free agent, so even if Detroit were to offer him serious money, Brooklyn would have matched it to keep him.

Brooklyn has been serious about keeping Cam Johnson once they acquired him in the blockbuster Kevin Durant trade involving the Phoenix Suns. They’ve rejected trade offers and were prepared to offer him bigger money than what Phoenix wanted to offer him.

The 27-year-old went from turning down a $78 million offer from the Suns to accepting a $108 million offer from the Nets. He’ll be making $27 million per year.
