Nuggets' Cameron Johnson Targeting Pre-All-Star Break Return from Knee Injury

Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson (knee) is aiming to be cleared to return before the All-Star break in mid-February, according to head coach David Adelman. Johnson has been sidelined by a bone bruise in his right knee since December 23. This update suggests he could return by early February. Prior to the injury, he started in all 28 games, averaging 11.7 points per game in his first season with the Nuggets. His return would likely move Jalen Pickett or Spencer Jones to the bench.
