NBA Shockwave: Why the Nuggets Are Betting Big on the Michael Porter Jr.-Cam Johnson Trade
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.
