Cameron Johnson, commonly referred to as Cam Johnson, is an American professional basketball player currently playing for the Denver Nuggets in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born on March 3, 1996, in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, Johnson began his basketball journey at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School. He experienced a significant growth spurt during his high school years, transitioning from a 6-foot-2 point guard to a taller player. Johnson's college career was notable for his time with the University of Pittsburgh and later the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the eleventh overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft but was traded to the Phoenix Suns on draft night. During his tenure with the Suns, Johnson reached the 2021 NBA Finals. He played three full seasons in Phoenix before being traded to the Brooklyn Nets in February 2023. In Brooklyn, Johnson achieved a career-high average of 18.8 points per game during the regular season. His shooting prowess, particularly from beyond the arc, has made him a valuable asset in the league. Johnson is a career 39.2% shooter from three-point range, which complements his ability to play both as a small forward and a shooter off the bench. In July 2025, Johnson was traded to the Denver Nuggets, marking a new chapter in his NBA career. This move aligns him with one of the league's top playmakers, Nikola Jokic, which could enhance his scoring opportunities. Johnson's current role in Denver is anticipated to be significant, given his shooting skills and the team's offensive strategy. His participation in the 2023 USA Basketball Showcase further highlights his national recognition, where he averaged 9.0 points and led the team in three-pointers made.
