On October 19, the Brooklyn Nets lost to the Toronto Raptors in an NBA preseason game at home. In this match, the Nets’ forward Cameron Johnson performed exceptionally well, scoring 30 points with 10-of-18 shooting, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, providing a silver lining in the Nets’ loss. However, Chinese player Cui Yongxi did not get any playing time again, marking his second consecutive game without an appearance.
In this game, Johnson was on fire from the start, hitting 5 of 8 three-pointers in the first half to score 21 points. With multiple guards facilitating the offense, Johnson frequently found himself with open opportunities, which he capitalized on effectively. In the third quarter, Johnson added two more three-pointers, bringing his total to over 30 points. Ultimately, Johnson finished the game with 32 points, delivering his best performance in the preseason this year.
As a late-blooming rookie, Johnson has been known for his immediate impact and reliability since entering the league. Last season with the Nets, he averaged 13.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39.1%, making him one of the most reliable three-point shooters on the team. Although he occasionally struggled in key games, his performance was generally dependable. Last summer, he signed a four-year, $94.5 million contract with the Nets, and he is expected to be a crucial piece for the team in the upcoming season.
