The Brooklyn Nets have already ruled out forward Cameron Johnson (groin) for Tuesday's tilt versus the Boston Celtics. Johnson will miss a fourth consecutive game with soreness in his left groin, and he will have a quick turnaround to return before the All-Star break in a rematch with Boston on Wednesday. Ben Simmons has started each of Brooklyn's last three games and has averaged 7.6 points on 78.3% field-goal shooting, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 1.2 steals across his past five games, but he's playing only 18.7 minutes per game during this stretch following his extended absence. With a difficult task against a Celtics team that sits second in the NBA in opponent field-goal percentage (44.9%) to boot, Simmons is going to be a risky DFS play on Tuesday despite Johnson's absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (groin) won't play on Thursday against the visiting Cavaliers. The former Sun is battling a groin strain, so he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive game. Fantasy managers are used to Johnson being out of the lineup occasionally at this point in his career, considering he's missed plenty of time over the years. That said, his next chance to play will be on Saturday versus the San Antonio Spurs. In the meantime, Ben Simmons could remain in the starting lineup. At the same time, Royce O'Neale, who is coming off an 18-point showing in 32 minutes against the Mavs on Tuesday, should continue to benefit statistically from Johnson's absence.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (personal) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's encounter with the Jazz, suggesting he will be available for the game. Johnson missed Saturday's contest against Houston for personal reasons. He should jump back into the starting unit, where he has averaged 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for the Nets this season. Cam Thomas took Johnson's spot among the starters and had an impressive 37-point performance at the weekend, but he looks set to maintain his role, as Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't feature on Monday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (personal) won't play on Saturday against Houston. He will be unavailable for the ninth time this season. The trio of Cam Thomas, Lonnie Walker IV, and Royce O'Neale looks set to benefit from Johnson's absence. Thomas is by far the most attractive option for fantasy managers, and he'll head into Saturday's clash with some newly found momentum, having posted 20-plus points in three of his last four appearances.

The Brooklyn Nets have upgraded forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) to available for Thursday's tilt versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. A left shoulder contusion threatened Johnson's status, but he'll suit up for the struggling Nets as they continue a five-game homestand on Thursday. The two-way wing has taken a step back during his first full year in Brooklyn, putting up a modest 14.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.5 threes per game. Expect no minutes restrictions for Johnson, but it's a tough matchup against Minnesota.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the team's game on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 27-year-old was a late addition to the injury report, and his status for the game is in question. Reports suggest that it's not a serious issue, but caution is likely to be exercised at this point in the season. If Johnson has to miss time, Cam Thomas and Royce O'Neale should see increased minutes.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (shoulder) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against Minnesota. He's in danger of missing his first game since Dec. 27 after hurting his left shoulder versus the Knicks on Tuesday. Lonnie Walker IV and Cam Thomas should share most of the available minutes if Johnson can't play through his shoulder issue. The latter is the more attractive fantasy option, with Thomas having proven himself as a microwave scorer this season.

The Brooklyn Nets are keeping forward Cameron Johnson (knee) out of Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks as a means of injury maintenance for a sprained right knee. Johnson hasn't taken a seat since a lengthy early-season absence due to a calf strain, but he'll catch a breather on the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back. The 27-year-old spot-up shooter is still finding his rhythm but led the Nets with a season-high 24 points and four triples in Tuesday's narrow 118-112 victory over the ill-fated Detroit Pistons. Expect Johnson to make his way back into the fold on Friday against the Washington Wizards. As for Wednesday, Mikal Bridges is now positioned to take on bulk of the responsibility on both ends of the floor. Royce O'Neale and Trendon Watford should occupy most of the wing reserve minutes when they're not spending time at the five against the Bucks, since Nicolas Claxton (ankle) will also be absent.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (leg) is expected to play Tuesday versus Toronto, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. He had to exit Sunday's matchup against Chicago with cramping in his right leg. It doesn't seem to have been a serious issue, though, and Johnson appears on track to play in Tuesday's must-win in-season tournament game. The 27-year-old suffered an early injury setback this season but has performed well, averaging 14.9 points with 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists. With that said, Tuesday's matchup isn't a good one from a fantasy perspective, as the Raptors are just outside the top 10 in defensive efficiency and play with a slow pace.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) has been listed as available for the team's Friday night contest against the Boston Celtics. This comes as a sigh of relief for the team as they have three other starters already ruled out for this game. Johnson hasn't played since the season-opening game after suffering a calf strain in 26 minutes of action. He'll bring some much-needed shooting and length on the defensive end against a Celtics team that can score with the best of them. Johnson should get as many opportunities as he can handle, so he should be deployed in any fantasy lineups for this matchup.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young guard suffered a sprained left ankle while in the middle of a solid performance. He won't return to this game and will finish with 14 points, two rebounds, and a block in 20 minutes. It's uncertain if this injury is going to cause him to miss more time. Lonnie Walker IV and Dennis Smith Jr. figure to see more playing time if Johnson misses an extended period of time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Johnson's status.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. No surprise here, as Brooklyn announced on Oct. 30 that Johnson was slated for re-evaluation pertaining to his left calf strain in 10 days from that point. The 27-year-old marksman may have a decent chance to return for Friday's In-Season Tournament action against the Boston Celtics, since the doubtful designation is actually an upgrade from being immediately ruled out. We'll have to wait and see what type of practice activity he puts in ahead of play to get a better feel for his status. Assuming Johnson's absence extends to seven straight contests on Wednesday, Lonnie Walker IV (knee) and Royce O'Neale should continue to handle key roles in head coach Jacque Vaughn's rotation against the Clippers.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Heat. It's anyone's guess how long the former Sun will remain sidelined, although fantasy managers may also be without him for Friday's matchup with Chicago and Saturday's contest against Boston. Fortunately, Dorian Finney-Smith, averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and shooting 50.0% from deep in two starts this season, should continue to roll with the first five, giving him plenty of appeal for fantasy managers needing to fill a void.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) will be re-evaluated in 10 days, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post. Johnson is dealing with a left calf strain, which sounds a bit more significant than the contusion he was reported to be nursing originally. Based on the 27-year-old's 10-day timeline, it effectively rules him out for Brooklyn's next six games, including Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets, with his next real chance to return coming on Nov. 10 against the Boston Celtics. The sharpshooting Johnson is a fantasy must-stash while he is healing, and Cam Thomas' torrid start (66 points in two games) makes him a must-start across all formats in the meantime. Royce O'Neale and Lonnie Walker IV should also benefit on the wings.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) remains out on Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks, opening the door for Dorian Finney-Smith to enter the starting lineup and finish with 12 points and seven boards while going 4-for-7 from deep. It's hard to tell how long Johnson will be sidelined. However, he was observed wearing a boot at practice on Sunday, so it appears he could miss even more games moving ahead.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Hornets. He didn't play on Friday night against the Dallas Mavericks, resulting in Dorian Finney-Smith replacing him in the lineup and finishing with 12 points and seven rebounds while going 4-for-7 from deep. Unfortunately, Johnson was seen wearing a boot during practice on Sunday, so it's apparent things aren't moving in the right direction. That said, Finney-Smith will probably remain a temporary starter if Johnson is ultimately ruled out versus Charlotte, meaning he'll become a viable fantasy option in deep setups.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) won't play on Friday night against the Mavs. The 27-year-old is dealing with a calf contusion, so he may only miss a game or two before he's ready to return. Brooklyn also won't have Nicolas Claxton (ankle), meaning the team will be without two essential components of the starting lineup. At any rate, Dorian Finney-Smith should fill the void in the lineup and see enough minutes to be a productive member of any fantasy roster.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) has officially received the questionable tag ahead of their Friday night game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's reportedly dealing with a calf issue that has put his status in jeopardy. The 27-year-old was able to play 26 minutes in their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night and he shot the ball efficiently overall. If he can't suit up, the Nets may shift around the starting lineup and move Cam Thomas up. If they want to keep a bigger lineup, however, Dorian Finney-Smith or Royce O'Neale would see the starting spot while the others see more minutes off of the bench.

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hamstring) is expected to play in Wednesday's opener against Cleveland. The 27-year-old missed the entire preseason due to a bum hamstring, so there was a chance he wouldn't be available. However, while it's certainly a positive update for fantasy managers, head coach Jacque Vaughn indicated he would avoid playing Johnson in "long stretches." The former Sun is anticipated to improve in many statistical categories in 2023-24. But it may take a few games before he's back to full speed, meaning Dorian Finney-Smith could see additional minutes.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cameron Johnson (hamstring) is hopeful to get back to practice on Saturday, according to head coach Jacque Vaughn. Johnson has missed all of the preseason due to a lingering hamstring issue. Hopefully, this isn't too serious of an issue and the Nets are just being cautious in exhibition games. It's possible that Johnson isn't ready for the beginning of the season. Regardless, he should be a safe middle-round fantasy pick this year. Johnson shouldn't miss much more time and is expected to have a significant role in this rotation.
