"Denver Nuggets forward Cameron Johnson is expected to return to the court for the first time in six weeks against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday, according to coach David Adelman. The news comes one day after the team announced that forward Peyton Watson would miss at least four weeks with a right hamstring strain. Johnson has been out since Dec. 23, when he suffered a right knee bone bruise and hyperextension."
"Jokic recently returned from his own hyperextension injury and is set to play against the Bulls despite being listed as questionable with a left ankle sprain. Nuggets forward Spencer Jones, however, is in the concussion protocol and ruled out. Acquired over the summer in a trade that dealt Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn, Johnson is averaging just under 12 points this season while shooting 43% from 3."
