Phoenix Suns forward Cam Johnson made his return to the hardwood in Sunday night’s 111-94 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The second-year wing has been out since March 4 due to health and safety protocols.
It seemed like Johnson was already back to his old ways, sinking a corner three on his first shot attempt in almost three weeks.
Coming into Sunday night’s contest, the former UNC Tar Heel is averaging 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 24.2 minutes per game while shooting 43.7% from the field and 37.8% from three.

Johnson has also started in nine of the now 35 games he’s played for Phoenix on the 2020-21 campaign.
And while the Suns got one of their players back on Sunday night, the Lakers are without LeBron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (calf).
