DENVER (AP) --- The Denver Nuggets got good news Wednesday when an MRI revealed
that forward Cameron Johnson suffered only a bone bruise to his right knee and
not any ligament or structural damage, according to a person familiar with the
medical test results.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the
team didn't announce the results of Johnson's MRI.
Johnson got hurt early in the fourth quarter of Denver's 131-130 loss at Dallas
on Tuesday night.
There isn't a timetable for his return but Johnson is expected to miss a few
games. He's the third Nuggets starter sidelined by injury, joining Aaron Gordon
(hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle).
The Nuggets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Christmas night.
