Johnson (ankle) recorded 17 points (5-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 119-102 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was back in action for the Nets after missing the previous six games with a right ankle sprain. Though he endured a rough shooting night and had his minutes curbed in his return, Johnson still operated as a focal point on offense for Brooklyn and finished second to only Keon Johnson (25 points) in scoring. Assuming he's not moved prior to Thursday's trade deadline, Cameron Johnson should be locked into a high-volume role for Brooklyn for the rest of the season.

Johnson (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson, who has missed the last six games for the Nets, has the green light to return Wednesday. There's no word on any restrictions, however, but the Nets may be cautious. Johnson has been in the spotlight for another reason, obviously, as he's expected to have a sizable market from contending teams at the trade deadline.

Johnson (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Rockets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson went through the majority of practice Monday, but the Nets will continue to exercise caution. With the trade deadline approaching, it's not a surprise to see this with Johnson linked to a move to a contending team. His status for Wednesday against the Wizards remains to be seen.

Johnson (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will miss his fifth straight contest Saturday due to a sprained right ankle. However, the 28-year-old forward is considered day-to-day, so his next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Houston. Until Johnson is able to return to action, Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams should continue to receive increased playing time.

The Nets announced Friday that Johnson is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game against the Rockets with a right ankle sprain.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was originally set to be re-evaluated after Saturday's game, though his change in status bodes well for his potential return against Houston. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Nets remain cautious with the 28-year-old, who is likely to be a sought-after commodity ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Johnson can be considered questionable at best until the team provides another update on his status, though if he remains on the shelf Saturday, Jalen Wilson and Tosan Evbuomwan should continue to see an uptick in playing time, as Noah Clowney (ankle), Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Maxwell Lewis (lower leg) will all remain out through the All-Star break.

Johnson (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Kings, will miss the club's next two games and is set to be re-evaluated sometime next week, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson's next chance to return to game action will come next Tuesday against the Rockets while he deals with a right ankle sprain. With the 28-year-old remaining sidelined for an extended period, Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin are candidates for increased roles.

Coach Jordi Fernandez said Friday that Johnson (ankle) will not play in Saturday's matchup against the Heat and will be re-evaluated sometime next week, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson will miss his second consecutive contest due to the right ankle sprain, and it wouldn't be surprising if he also misses Monday's game against the Kings at the very least as the club works him back to form. With the 28-year-old sidelined, Jalen Wilson, Tyrese Martin and Tosan Evbuomwan are all candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Johnson (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was previously listed as doubtful due to an ankle sprain. With Ben Simmons (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (rest) both sidelined, the Nets will need multiple players to step up as the team will have a total of nine inactive players.

Johnson is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns with a right ankle sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson picked up the injury during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks, but he was able to finish the game. However, it's not a surprise to see the Nets leaning toward exercising caution by holding Johnson out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Brooklyn will be shorthanded Wednesday, as six players have already been ruled out, while Johnson and Ben Simmons (illness) are listed as questionable.

Johnson appeared to suffer an injury at some point during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks, though he was able to finish out the game while tallying 16 points (6-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 35 minutes, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slater notes that Johnson seemed to "tweak something" on a drive early in the game, and while the forward wasn't forced out of the contest due to injury at any point, he was walking gingerly in the locker room following the contest. Johnson had previously missed seven of the Nets' first 10 games of January due to a right ankle sprain, so it's possible he may have tweaked the same ankle. Even if Johnson is dealing with only a minor injury scare, he still looks like a strong candidate to be held out for maintenance purposes in the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday versus the Suns. Fantasy managers will want to keep close tabs on Johnson's status leading up to the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.
