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.

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.

Cam Johnson set to return to the Suns

The biggest news of the day has been announced as Cam Johnson is ready to come back and be another body for the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix will be taking on the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday.

It was revealed by head coach Monty Williams that Johnson would return for tomorrow night’s game against the Kevin Durant-less Nets. Johnson also confirmed this as well at Wednesday’s practice.

The starting forward has been out since November 4th with a torn meniscus, only playing 8 games this entire season. His last played game was a lost to the Trail Blazers (the Jerami Grant game-winner) with him leaving after playing five minutes and going 0-2 from the field.

While the Suns are missing many other players, like Devin Booker, it is a great sign and confidence booster to see Johnson back and the Suns be one step closer to a semi/fully healthy team.

Johnson is averaging 13.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists this season.

Cameron Johnson out for 1-2 months

It has been reported that the Suns will be without their starting forward Cam Johnson for next 1-2 months. This timeline comes after it was announced he was just trimming his meniscus.

The surgery happened on his torn right meniscus and the Suns will be looking for someone to take over Cam’s role while he is away from the team. They have tried Torrey Craig, but there are rumors of Jae Crowder possibly reuniting with the Suns.

While those are rumors, those are very slim with how things were left before the season began. CourtSideHeat will keep everyone up on that end.
