US EditionNuggets forward Cameron Johnson avoids major knee injury but will miss a few games, AP source says
Cameron Johnson will miss multiple games due to a right knee bone bruise, with no ligament damage; the Nuggets face depth challenges amid other starter injuries, sources said.
- On Dec. 23, 2025, Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson hyperextended his right knee during the fourth quarter of a 131-130 loss in Dallas, and an MRI showed a bone bruise with no structural damage, with the team expecting him to miss four to six weeks.
- Since turning a corner in mid-November, Cameron Johnson had averaged 14.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 17 games while shooting 52.3% from three and played more power forward due to Aaron Gordon's absence after knee surgery earlier this season and a 2022 meniscus repair.
- During the fourth quarter in Dallas, Cameron Johnson, Denver Nuggets forward, went down after a right-knee incident, needed help walking off, and coach David Adelman called it concerning and deflating.
- With Johnson out, Denver Nuggets now lack three starters, leaving only Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray healthy and turning to Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones for rotation support.
- Longer term, the absence could be damaging to championship hopes as the Denver Nuggets face a lengthy East coast road trip and may seek roster help at the NBA trade deadline.
