Cam Johnson’s injury is brutal news for the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old forward provides tremendous shooting and defense and will now be missed even more with Jae Crowder continuing to stay away from the team. Now, Phoenix has a timetable for how long Johnson will be out after undergoing surgery, per Brian Windhorst of ESPN. […]

Cam Johnson’s knee injury might be more serious than what the Phoenix Suns hoped. Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported the Suns feared that Johnson had torn the meniscus in his right knee, and the team announced Sunday that he will undergo surgery and is out indefinitely. Johnson picked up the injury during Friday’s showdown […]

The Phoenix Suns were seen as the number one landing spot for Kevin Durant this past summer after he asked the Brooklyn Nets for a trade. While he ultimately changed his mind and stayed put, it appears there is one reason, in particular, the Nets never struck a deal: Cam Johnson. According to Jake Fischer […]

The Phoenix Suns weren’t too active this offseason, but there is one move that could still happen: Trading Jae Crowder. He’s been linked to a move out of the desert and if his latest Twitter activity is any indication, the sharpshooter doesn’t want to be a Sun anymore. Crowder quoted a tweet from a reporter […]

In May of 2022, the Phoenix Suns came up short. Despite their best efforts to leave it all on the court, the up-start Suns, led by a Hall of Fame-bound point guard and a future All-Pro shooting guard, were unable to overcome the unrelenting title machine known colloquially as the Golden State Warriors and watched […]

Heading into the 2022-23 NBA season, the Phoenix Suns starting lineup is pretty well locked in. Suns players like Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and Mikal Bridges aren’t going anywhere (if healthy). That leaves one starting spot up for grabs heading into the new league year. Last season, forward Jae Crowder started all 67 […]

After a disappointing loss in Game 7 against the Dallas Mavericks, questions surrounding the Phoenix Suns’ future appeared fast and furious. Is the window closing on a title chance with Chris Paul? Can Deandre Ayton and the front office work on their differences? Paul had some great moments this past season, including a 14-of-14 shooting […]

The Phoenix Suns enter the 2022-23 NBA season with one goal in mind: redemption. The Suns won a stellar 64 games last season and entered the playoffs as heavy favorites to win their first championship. They then flamed out and lost their second-round series against the Dallas Mavericks in humiliating fashion. Despite the disappointing postseason, […]

Mikal Bridges made his stance clear on the rumors that the Phoenix Suns are dangling Cam Johnson in trade talks for salary cap relief. On Tuesday, reports surfaced that the Suns are exploring various trade scenarios, including moving Johnson to get a lottery pick in the 2022 NBA Draft while also creating cap flexibility–which they […]

The circumstances of Sunday’s Game 4 between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks forced Monty Williams’ hand. The Suns surely would’ve worked the ball through Chris Paul through a majority of the second half, but it simply wasn’t an option. Paul picked up his fourth foul just before the half-time buzzer. His fifth came less […]

The Dallas Mavericks entered Game 2 in their western conference semifinals series with the Phoenix Suns in need of a win. They were rolled in Game 1 at Phoenix, 121-114. The final score was not in any way indicative of how lob sided the game was. The Mavs do not want to fall in an […]

If there was one thing Tuesday night that would have been near a worst-case scenario for the Phoenix Suns, it happened.

Cam Johnson may be nominated for an individual award, but he’s giving all the credit to the Phoenix Suns’ “bench mob mentality.” He was recently announced as a finalist for the Sixth Man of the Year trophy alongside Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat. Johnson broke out in […]

If given the chance, any collector would go for young stars with established stocks in the rookie card market. In this regard, some of the guys who reign supreme are Ja Morant and Luka Doncic, among others. To an extent, one can make a case for promising prospects, such as Tyrese Haliburton and Tyrese Maxey. […]

The Phoenix Suns got some bad news ahead of their showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Not only does Devin Booker remain out due to health and safety protocols, but Cam Johnson is also joining him on the sidelines after sustaining an injury. According to Kellan Olson of 98.7 Arizona Sports, Johnson has been […]

Cam Johnson overcame the absences of Chris Paul and Devin Booker to deliver a masterclass of a performance. He helped lead the Phoenix Suns to a last-second win over the New York Knicks with a career-high 38 points. After getting into a tussle with Julius Randle in the third quarter, Johnson kept his cool while Randle […]

With Chris Paul and Devin Booker both sidelined, the Phoenix Suns need players to step up and keep the team rolling. Against the New York Knicks, Cam Johnson did just that. With career-highs of 38 points and nine 3-pointers, Johnson had the best game of his professional career. He scored 21 points in the final […]

Cam Johnson’s Friday night performance was something to behold. Without Chris Paul, the young forward took the brunt of the scoring load for the Phoenix Suns, scoring a career-high 38 points on nine triples against Julius Randle and the New York Knicks. However, his final three was the most pivotal, sinking a DEEP three-pointer at […]

New York Knicks star Julius Randle was thrown out late in the third quarter against the Phoenix Suns after shoving Cam Johnson. Things have been chippy between Randle and Johnson since the start of the game, and tempers erupted in the penultimate period with both teams fighting hard for the W. The two got highly […]

Super Bowl season tends to bring out the rivalries in many close relationships. Family members will often “beef” with each other over their football loyalties once February comes around. The same can be said for the Phoenix Suns, who have two players on opposing sides for the coveted Lombardi Trophy. Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson, […]

The arrival of star guard Chris Paul last season immediately turned things around for the Phoenix Suns. After their stellar run in the NBA Bubble, the Suns needed one more piece to push them to the top. As we all saw, CP3 was that guy. But aside from Paul, another integral addition for the Suns […]

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson now owns PJ Tucker’s soul after a massive throwdown in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The 25-year-old one of the best dunks of the 2021 NBA Playoffs as he slammed an explosive dunk, putting the Milwaukee Bucks forward on an unforgettable poster. Watch Johnson eat Tucker alive in the […]

It takes more than an All-Star or two to capture win a title in the NBA. Apart from a skilled coaching staff that can bring a team together, there has to be a bench of talented guys who can step up at a moment’s notice. While the NBA card hobby is going crazy over Giannis […]

The Los Angeles Lakers relied on “championship DNA”, crunch-time execution, and increased assertiveness and focus — namely from their two stars, LeBron James and Anthony Davis — to take back home-court advantage from the Phoenix Suns and even their first-round series at 1-1. "It's about championship DNA and we got that." @KingJames talks with @LakersReporter […]

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James was his usual unstoppable self in Game 2 against the Phoenix Suns, but he found a surprising NBA nemesis on the clutch in second-year man Cam Johnson. In the closing seconds of the third quarter, LeBron showed off his unguardable fadeaway to bring the Lakers’ lead back to double digits. […]

Is six games a small sample size? Yes, it is. With that said, the Phoenix Suns look like a well-oiled machine. Head coach Monty Williams’ squad has won five of its first six games this season. Three of those wins have come against teams that participated in the Western Conference playoffs last season (Dallas Mavericks, […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving unsurprisingly leads the league as statistically the best pairing in the NBA early in the season. What comes as a bit of a shocker, however, is that the Phoenix Suns boast the second-best on-court partnership right now — and no, it doesn’t include Devin […]

After being the butt of many a joke over the years, the Phoenix Suns franchise has looked surprisingly solid through the first few games of the 2019-20 regular season. However, their momentum could be put into a halt after Ricky Rubio suffered a knee injury against the Denver Nuggets in their second game of the […]

One of the most memorable moments of this year’s edition of the draft was when Chicago Bulls rookie Coby White, in the middle of a press conference, learned about former University of North Carolina teammate Cameron Johnson being drafted.

North Carolina standout Cameron Johnson was selected with the 11th overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, much to the surprise of many who had him initially slated as a potential high-end second rounder, one that had crept to the high 20s of the first round after recent workouts. His UNC […]

The Phoenix Suns have had a tough offseason, at least according to rival executives around the league. They were highly scrutinized for trading De’Anthony Melton in a move that would essentially be a salary dump for Ricky Rubio, and many teams were puzzled by their decision to trade a future first-round pick merely to acquire […]

The Phoenix Suns made real waves in the 2019 NBA Draft when they selected North Carolina swingman Cam Johnson with the No. 11 pick. Johnson had been a potential first-round pick, but few mock drafts had him off the board before the end of the lottery. While Johnson may not have been regarded as one […]

When the Phoenix Suns took North Carolina sharpshooter Cameron Johnson with the 11th overall pick in this past week’s NBA Draft, many were shocked, including former Tar Heels teammate Coby White. Johnson, 23 years old, was pinned by some scouts as a late first-round talent, but many draft boards had him going early in the second […]

New Chicago Bulls rookie point guard Coby White had a fantastic on-camera reaction to North Carolina teammate Cameron Johnson getting selected by the Phoenix Suns with the No. 11 pick.

The Golden State Warriors are fresh out of making a deal for the 41st pick with the Atlanta Hawks, as general manager Bob Myers used his connection with his former understudy Travis Schlenk to make the deal.

The Oklahoma City Thunder had a solid 2018-19 NBA season, even though it ended in a first-round playoff loss to the Portland Trailblazers. The loss exposed some of the Thunder’s weaknesses; a top-heavy roster that lacks three-point shooting ability and needs scoring help. To address this problem, the team should seriously consider drafting Cameron Johnson […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have two of the best players in the NBA: Paul George and Russell Westbrook. They have a legitimate All-Star candidate in the middle, with Steven Adams locking down the paint. Yet in the past three seasons, all they have to show for their talent is three straight first-round playoff exits. The […]
