UPDATE: Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson is set to undergo an MRI on his right knee following a painful injury during last night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. The incident occurred with 9:18 left in the fourth quarter of a close match that ended in a 131-130 loss for the Nuggets.
Johnson went down in what appeared to be a non-contact injury, visibly in distress as he remained on the court. After a brief period, he managed to limp off to the bench but did not return to the game. The Nuggets have listed him as questionable due to a right knee sprain.
Following the game, Nuggets head coach David Adelman confirmed the MRI, stating that the team is “hoping for the best.” Johnson, who arrived in Denver from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade for Michael Porter Jr. before the season, was averaging 11.8 points in 30.9 minutes prior to his injury.
This developing story raises concerns not only for Johnson’s health but also for the Nuggets’ performance as they navigate a competitive season. Fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting updates on this situation, as Johnson has quickly become a key player for the team.
Stay tuned for further updates as the Nuggets and Johnson’s medical team assess the extent of the injury and its potential impact on the season.
