Okay, well maybe not this exact version, the one with a sprained right ankle that forced an early exit the Brooklyn Nets’ 112-107 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.
But whenever Cam Johnson returns to the lineup, the Brooklyn Nets will need the wing that was playing his best ball of the season, right up until he twisted that ankle.
Johnson had scored six points in eight minutes vs. the Sixers before his departure, looking to build on a three-game stretch where he averaged 23.3 points per game. But more importantly, he was playing with an energy and force that Nets fans had only seen glimpses of since his strong first-round playoff series against Philly in 2023.
