Johnson made a noticeable leap in the 2024-25 regular season, appearing in 79 games and averaging 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 24.4 minutes per game, though his shooting was a modest 38.9 percent from the field. His per-36-minute production was especially intriguing, translating to 15.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals, highlighting his activity and energy on both ends. The Nets demonstrated confidence in his upside by exercising his team option, keeping him under contract with partial guarantees into the 2025-26 season. The bad news is that the logjam on the wings is a mess right now. Cam Thomas signed his qualifying offer to return to the team, and the Nets added Terance Mann from the Hawks. Johnson figures to be in the rotation, but he's penciled in as Thomas' backup at shooting guard heading into training camp. As long as he earns consistent rotation minutes, Johnson offers upside in counting stats, particularly points, steals, and peripheral contributions. But it's fair to wonder what his ceiling is as things currently stand. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Johnson was unable to survive Brooklyn's roster crunch. The 23-year-old guard averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 79 regular-season appearances (56 starts) in 2024-25, and he was on the books for only $2.35 million in 2025-26. He's likely to draw interest from around the NBA following this news.

2021
Johnson has yet to establish himself as a viable commodity in the NBA, having spent two seasons playing limited minutes in Portland. Unfortunately, he suffered a dislocated finger in the opening game of the 2023 Summer League, prematurely ending his tournament. Johnson was then traded to the Suns this offseason as part of a blockbuster deal that landed Damian Lillard in Milwaukee. Johnson is still a raw prospect and likely won't handle a significant role to start 2023-24.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Thriving of late
Johnson has averaged 10.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 19 games for Brooklyn since Nov. 25, according to Bridget Reilly of The New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Johnson has been thriving of late, and he's embracing the opportunities he's had to see a more consistent role. That's not likely to be the case over the course of the entire season, though. He's widely expected to return to a bench role once the Nets get healthier, as they're currently missing Cam Thomas, Ben Simmons and Cameron Johnson due to injuries.
