www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on Cameron Johnson based on recent reports:
- As of late December 2025, Cameron Johnson was sidelined with a knee bone bruise and was expected to miss time, with MRI showing no structural damage but no clear return timeline [source: ESPN reporting via Shams Charania].[1]
- By late January 2026, Nuggets indicated he would remain out indefinitely and was listed as week-to-week as they reassessed progress.[2]
- He returned to play on February 7, 2026, in a win over the Bulls, scoring 14 points in 27 minutes after a six-week absence due to the knee issue.[3]
- After his return, further updates in February and March 2026 noted continued evaluation and occasional absence for related injuries, including an ankle issue that affected separate games.[5][7]
