Cameron Johnson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (thigh) is absent from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Head coach Jacque Vaughn said Johnson was on track to return on Wednesday prior to Tuesday's loss to Boston, and the 27-year-old forward will return from a four-game absence. Johnson has taken a step back during his first full year in Brooklyn after being a key piece of last season's Kevin Durant trade, but he's shooting the ball well over his last nine games, averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 2.3 treys on 42.9% shooting from long range in 27.2 minutes during this stretch. Johnson should re-enter the Nets' first unit, but he'll square off with a Celtics team that ranks second in opponent field-goal percentage (44.9%) in 2023-24, so he won't be a recommended DFS play in most situations.

The Brooklyn Nets have already ruled out forward Cameron Johnson (groin) for Tuesday's tilt versus the Boston Celtics. Johnson will miss a fourth consecutive game with soreness in his left groin, and he will have a quick turnaround to return before the All-Star break in a rematch with Boston on Wednesday. Ben Simmons has started each of Brooklyn's last three games and has averaged 7.6 points on 78.3% field-goal shooting, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals across his past five games, but he's playing only 18.7 minutes per game during this stretch following his extended absence. With a difficult task against a Celtics team that sits second in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (44.9%) to boot, Simmons is going to be a risky DFS play on Tuesday despite Johnson's absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (groin) won't play on Thursday against the visiting Cavaliers. The former Sun is battling a groin strain, so he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game. Fantasy managers are used to Johnson being out of the lineup occasionally at this point in his career, considering he's missed plenty of time over the years. That said, his next chance to play will be on Saturday versus the San Antonio Spurs. In the meantime, Ben Simmons could remain in the starting lineup. At the same time, Royce O'Neale, who is coming off an 18-point showing in 32 minutes against the Mavs on Tuesday, should continue to benefit statistically from Johnson's absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (personal) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's encounter with the Jazz, suggesting he will be available for the game. Johnson missed Saturday's contest against Houston for personal reasons. He should jump back into the starting unit, where he has averaged 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for the Nets this season. Cam Thomas took Johnson's spot among the starters and had an impressive 37-point performance at the weekend, but he looks set to maintain his role, as Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't feature on Monday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (personal) won't play on Saturday against Houston. He will be unavailable for the ninth time this season. The trio of Cam Thomas, Lonnie Walker IV, and Royce O'Neale looks set to benefit from Johnson's absence. Thomas is by far the most attractive option for fantasy managers, and he'll head into Saturday's clash with some newly found momentum, having posted 20-plus points in three of his last four appearances.
