Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his right knee and is expected to miss some time, sources tell ESPN.
An MRI reveals no structural damage or major injury after he went down in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Johnson was able to limp to the bench but did not return to the game. The Nuggets originally listed him as having a right knee sprain.
Johnson, who was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade for Michael Porter Jr., prior to the season, entered Tuesday's game averaging 11.8 points in 30.9 minutes.
