Cam Johnson misses another game due to a sprained right ankle, raising concerns for the Nets as they struggle without him
He just returned for a big win against Portland, scoring 24 points, but now he’s out again after the blowout loss to the Clippers. It’s unclear if he re-injured himself or if the team is just being cautious since it was a back-to-back game.
Johnson is super important to the Nets. He averages nearly 20 points per game and helps create opportunities for his teammates. Without him, the team really struggles.
The Nets are known for being careful with injuries, especially with a player like Johnson, who is also a key trade asset. They want to get a good deal if they decide to trade him, aiming for something like two first-round picks.
In other news, Nic Claxton played despite some tightness in his hamstring, but he didn’t have a great game. Ben Simmons is still out, and a few other players were also missing.
On a brighter note, Ziaire Williams had been doing well before a quiet game against the Clippers. He had a solid stretch, scoring in double digits for six straight games. Let’s see how the Nets manage without Johnson moving forward.
