Nets forward Cameron Johnson will be reevaluated in 10 days after an MRI revealed he has a strain in his left leg, sources tell Brian Lewis of The New York Post (X, formerly known as Twitter link).
Johnson was originally diagnosed with a left calf contusion after being injured on opening night. He missed the team’s second game and had been considered day-to-day. Brooklyn has a packed schedule with six games over the next 10 days, starting with tonight at Charlotte.
Johnson felt well enough on Sunday to take some shots during practice in Dallas, Lewis adds in a full story. Johnson dealt with a hamstring strain in training camp and sat out the entire preseason, so his only game action was 26 minutes in the season opener.
The news is more encouraging about center Nic Claxton, who didn’t wear his walking boot at this morning’s shootaround, Lewis tweets. Claxton, who sprained his left ankle in the opener, is also day-to-day.
