The Brooklyn Nets expect guard Tyler Johnson's sore right knee to require a "period of rehabilitation and strengthening" of two-to-three weeks before he returns to action, according to ESPN's Malika Andrews.

Johnson was helped to the bench in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game versus the Chicago Bulls after going down with an apparent non-contact injury, per NetsDaily's Chris Milholen and Matthew Brooks. However, the 28-year-old walked to the locker room on his own accord.

Johnson has made 31 appearances in 2020-21, averaging 5.4 points and 1.9 rebounds in just under 17 minutes per game.
