Head coach Jordi Fernandez said the team expects Cam Johnson to return during an upcoming West Coast swing. The veteran wing has missed Brooklyn’s last three games due to a right ankle sprain. “We believe [he’ll play during the trip], but again, we’re not gonna rush anything,” Fernandez said after Wednesday’s 113-98 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “So whenever he’s cleared and he feels good. He’s young, but he’s a veteran, and I trust him. I don’t want him to go too early and risk anything. I just want him to be 100 percent because then he makes us better, he makes us compete better, and that just helps the rest of the group. He’s in good spirits. He feels good, he’s been working.” -via Clutch Points / January 9, 2025
League sources say that Indiana is a team to watch in the trade pursuit of Brooklyn’s Cam Johnson. Memphis is another team frequently mentioned as a likely Johnson suitor … although it’s unclear how eager the Grizzlies are to return to the trade table with the Nets in the wake of Brooklyn deciding to swap Dorian Finney-Smith to the Lakers after extensive talks with the Grizz. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 5, 2025
