Inside the Bold Nuggets Trade: What Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson Really Means for Their Championship Hopes
Nuggets fans may be distressed to learn they traded one injury risk for another, as Johnson hasn’t played more than 66 games in a season in his career and hasn’t hit 60 games in any of the last three seasons. Johnson has been a walking operation board in his NBA career, with injuries to his back, hip, ankle, knee and leg.
But it’s also been a few years since Johnson played for a team contending for a championship. It’s impossible to know without injecting some truth serum into the Nets’ doctors, but if the team was a title contender, it’s possible his back injury wouldn’t have prevented him from suiting up the final seven games of the season.
