The Nets fell to 0-9 without Cam Johnson this season following Friday’s 102-101 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. When he isn’t in the lineup, it’s safe to say Brooklyn is cooked. Friday marked Johnson’s second straight absence. He was listed as questionable entering Sunday’s matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder because of a right ankle sprain. The forward has missed eight of the Nets’ last nine games as a whole. His lone appearance over that stretch was Tuesday’s 132-114 defeat of the Portland Trail Blazers, where he scored a team-high 24 points in 27 minutes. So far this season, Brooklyn has an offensive rating of 112.4 with Johnson on the court and 104.2 with him off. He’s the team’s best scorer, aside from a healthy Cam Thomas, and its best floor spacer. When he’s not out there, the drop-off in production is clear as day. “Obviously Cam is extremely important for us, not just because he catches and shoots, but also his movement, and also because he can play off the dribble and make the right plays,” Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said. Following Friday’s game, Fernandez discussed others on the team who have increased their 3-point shooting volume in Johnson’s absence. “Look at Ziaire [Williams], he shot nine [3-pointers],” Fernandez said. “Noah [Clowney], seven of them. [D’Angelo Russell] 10. Jalen Wilson was 3-for-4. So, that’s what we’re trying to do, create the right shots. When you shoot almost 45% from 3 it’s always a good shooting night.” Johnson has appeared in 33 of the Nets first 40 games this season, and while his availability has been limited in recent weeks, he’s still having the best season of his professional career. He’s averaging 19.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists while shooting 49.9% from the field, 42.8% from deep and 89.7% from the free throw line. Whether he plays or not, it appears his value across the league remains at an all-time high. Numerous teams have reportedly inquired about Johnson’s services ahead of the Feb. 8 trade deadline, including Oklahoma City, Indiana, Sacramento, Cleveland and others, but general manager Sean Marks is not interested in handing out discounts. The Nets are reportedly seeking two first-round picks, or equivalent value, in exchange for Johnson. Whatever team lands him will have to pay up.
