Chaney Johnson Shows Mixed Results in First Backcourt Start for Nets

Chaney Johnson recorded six points, one steal, and one block in 18:32 during his second career start for the Brooklyn Nets. Moving to the backcourt in place of injured Egor Dëmin, the 6-foot-7 forward used his size and athleticism to disrupt Pistons star Cade Cunningham defensively. Despite Johnson's strong defensive effort, head coach Jordi Fernández noted offensive execution suffered as the lineup adjusted to Johnson playing out of position.
