UPDATE: Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson is slated for an urgent MRI on his right knee following a distressing injury during the fourth quarter of a tightly contested game against the Dallas Mavericks on November 28, 2023. With just 9:18 remaining in regulation, Johnson fell to the court in visible pain after what appeared to be a non-contact injury.
Johnson, who had been averaging 11.8 points in 30.9 minutes per game this season, struggled to rise and limped to the bench after being assessed on the floor. Despite being listed as questionable to return due to a right knee sprain, he did not re-enter the game, which ended in a 131-130 loss for the Nuggets.
Nuggets head coach David Adelman confirmed post-game that Johnson will undergo the MRI, with the team remaining hopeful for a positive outcome. This injury comes as a significant concern not only for Johnson but also for the Nuggets, who acquired him from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Michael Porter Jr. before the season began.
The implications of Johnson’s injury could resonate throughout the Nuggets’ season, as they strive to maintain their competitive edge in the Western Conference. Fans and analysts alike will be closely monitoring updates from the MRI results, as well as the potential impact on the team’s upcoming games.
Stay tuned for further developments on this situation, as the Nuggets hope for the best for their forward.
