Cameron Johnson Ruled Out On Saturday, Will Miss Next Three Games
1 day agoBrooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers and will miss the next three games, according to the team. Johnson sustained a right-ankle sprain against Milwaukee in their last game. The 28-year-old has been solid for Brooklyn when healthy, averaging 19.5 points per game this season. The timing of the injury may stall some potential trade talks, as Johnson's name has been rumored to be one of the next that Brooklyn might ship out during their fire sale. In Johnson's absence, expect Ziaire Williams to get more run with the team. Williams was just able to return from a 12-game absence after dealing with a knee sprain and has only averaged 8.6 points this season. He will be an intriguing fantasy option going forward but will carry a bit of volatility with him. Fantasy managers need to take caution before inserting Williams into their lineups.
