Takeoff was still awaited and hoped for for Cam Johnson in Denver
Nuggets loss against Wukov leaves a bitter taste in the mouth Cam Johnson. And for good reason: The winger didn’t score a single basket or even a single point in this matchup, finishing with 0-6 shooting including four misses from behind the arc. It’s the second time this season he’s finished with zero points, following a game against the Warriors in November 2025.
“My lack of success was costly in this part”, assumes the former Netswho regretted his “severe lack of impact” facing Minnesota. “That’s part of basketball. Those are the things that happen. Like it or not, we have to learn to overcome it, we have to move forward and find a solution.”
A few weeks out with a right knee injury, Cam Johnson is also currently struggling with a right ankle. Already irregular this season and often too timid in attack, he is burdened by this physical problem.
“He didn’t move well on Sunday night. He knows we’re short on a couple of players on the wing, so he’s fighting despite everything. It’s affecting his game.”David Adelman noted, referring to the absence of Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones. “He had some problems with his movement and I hope we have good news before the game against Utah.”
It cannot be constant
The trip to Salt Lake City is for Monday night, but more than Cam Johnson in uniform, we’d have to have him at his best, which hasn’t happened in a while since the start of the season.
The number can easily show it: he managed to string together three matches in a row with 10 or more points (his record is five games) after more than four months of competition on only two occasions…
And since Khris Middleton won’t be coming to DenverThe Nuggets will have to unlock something for the 2021 finalist to finally deliver what he’s capable of. To be important in the best moments, in the playoffs.
“Kem is our starting winger and I have confidence in him”insists the coach. “It’s my fault”the former Suns assure. “I’m the only one who put myself in this situation, so it’s up to me to get out of it. It happens in life or on the floor and it’s not the first time I’ve faced this situation. I have to keep working.”
