The Denver Nuggets are set to get Cameron Johnson back in the lineup after a six-week absence, providing an immediate boost as the team adjusts to a new injury.
Johnson’s return comes at a critical moment, with Peyton Watson now sidelined due to a right hamstring strain. With Watson unavailable, Johnson is expected to step into a larger role as Denver reshuffles its rotation.
Roster shift for Denver
Watson’s injury creates a vacancy on the wing, and Johnson’s timing helps soften the impact. After missing the past six weeks, Johnson is returning right as the Nuggets lose Watson, offering a direct replacement option as Denver looks to maintain continuity.
The Nuggets will move forward with Johnson back in the mix while Watson works back from the hamstring issue.
