Cam Johnson's Ankle Lands Him on the Questionable List for Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game with an ankle injury.

The questionable tag is the NBA's favorite gray area. It basically means he might play, he might sit, or he might just stand near the bench looking like he is thinking about playing.

"Cam Johnson (ankle) listed questionable for Friday."

Underdog NBA reported the update late Thursday, but the details are completely nonexistent. Because the initial report is thin, we do not know the severity of the ankle tweak, when exactly it happened, or if he underwent any imaging. It could be a minor roll in practice or something that requires a week in a walking boot.

For anyone looking at Friday's slate, this is the kind of news that freezes the board. You cannot confidently touch the Nets' player props or game lines until you know if their primary floor-spacer is actually going to space the floor.

If Johnson sits, Brooklyn has to shuffle the deck on the wing. That means more minutes for the bench guys and a heavier offensive burden on the rest of the starting five to make up for his shooting.

We probably will not get a real answer until Friday's shootaround or pregame warmups. Until then, treat his status like a coin flip that is currently stuck in the air.
