Johnson sustained a sprained right knee in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 131-130 loss to the Mavericks, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette, and did not return.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final quarter. He was deemed questionable to return but never checked back in, finishing with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes. The Nuggets are expected to provide an update on his status for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota by Wednesday night.

Johnson is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a right knee sprain, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson went to the locker room early in the fourth quarter after sustaining a knee injury, and it's unclear whether he'll be brought back to Tuesday's game. Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway are poised for larger roles down the stretch if Johnson is not cleared to return.

Johnson exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson landed awkwardly on his right leg and stayed down for an extended period. He grabbed at his knee before limping to the locker room with 9:18 remaining in the final frame. If the 29-year-old swingman is unable to return, Tim Hardaway and Bruce Brown will likely pick up the slack the rest of the way.

Johnson recorded 19 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-115 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson achieved his first double-double of the campaign as he recorded more than six rebounds in a game for the first time this season. He has retained consistent playing time lately, establishing himself as a regular starter and contributing mainly to the scoring column while Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) remain sidelined.

Johnson notched 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 43 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson has performed better over the past month, though his lack of contributions in other areas of the box score remains frustrating for fantasy managers. The sharpshooter has averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 35.9 minutes per contest in his last 13 outings, shooting 47.9 percent from deep over that stretch.

Johnson finished Thursday's 136-105 win over Sacramento with 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson stepped up in a game where Jamal Murray struggled, and the veteran forward has now scored at least 15 points in six of his last nine appearances. His shooting splits are also favorable. Over that nine-game stretch, Johnson is scoring 15.6 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 46.3 percent from three-point range. Johnson's overall season numbers might not be encouraging, but it's clear he's left his early-season shooting woes in the past.

Johnson ended with nine points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson failed to hit any great heights, scoring single digits for the first time in his past six games. After a slow start to the season, Johnson has been playing better of late, thanks largely to the fact that both Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) are sidelined. Although his ceiling is somewhat limited, Johnson remains a must-roster player, at least until the Nuggets are fully healthy.

Johnson chipped in 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 139-136 loss to San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

The 28 points were a season high for Johnson, topping the 20 points he scored just six days prior against the Kings. The 29-year-old wing is beginning to look more comfortable in a Denver jersey, and over the last six games he's averaging 18.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.3 threes, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 58.7 percent from the floor and a dazzling 62.5 percent (20-for-32) from beyond the arc.

Johnson accumulated nine points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson scored single digits for the third time in his past five appearances, continuing what has been a frustrating season. However, he has played at least 32 minutes in three straight games, an encouraging sign despite the inconsistent production. With Aaron Gordon now likely to miss time due to a hamstring injury, managers should be holding Johnson, at least for another week.

Johnson totaled 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 130-127 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out the Nuggets' prior game Saturday due to bicep soreness, Johnson looked 100 percent healthy in his return as he set new season highs in points and made threes. The 29-year-old wing is struggling to find his groove in a new offense to begin his first season in Denver, scoring in double digits only four times in his first 12 games while shooting what would be a career-worst 38.9 percent from the floor and 28.9 percent from three-point range. Monday's performance could be a sign that he's starting to get comfortable in his new environment.
