Johnson has 24 points in return from ankle injury, as Nets defeat Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. — Cam Johnson returned from a five-game absence with a right ankle sprain and scored 24 points in the Brooklyn Nets' 132-114 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.

Keon Johnson and Noah Clowney each added 20 for the Nets, who snapped a five-game losing streak.

Scoot Henderson had a career-high 39 points, including eight 3-pointers, for the Blazers.

Nets guard Ben Simmons, whose status was uncertain because of lower back injury management and a sore left knee, started and finished with five points, 11 assists and nine rebounds. He'll sit out of Wednesday's game at the Clippers.
