Nets' Cameron Johnson: Won't play in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
A lower back contusion will force Johnson to miss the final seven games of the regular season. The 2019 first-round had a strong start to the season, but he ended up missing 22 of the Nets' 48 games after the beginning of January, mostly due to a sprained right ankle. Johnson finishes the 2024-25 regular season averaging career highs in points (18.8), assists (3.4) and field-goal percentage (47.5 percent) while starting in all 57 games in which he appeared.

Rotowire
Johnson (back) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rotowire
Johnson closed Friday's 132-100 loss to the Clippers with 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one steal in 20 minutes.
Johnson returned to the lineup after a one-game absence for rest purposes, and while the six assists were a nice outcome, he didn't do much on offense. That said, the entire Nets lineup looked overmatched in this game, and Johnson could not get into a groove due to how dominated Brooklyn looked. Johnson has been averaging 18.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.
