Keldon Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Underwhelming effort off bench Johnson ended Sunday's 128-107 loss to the Heat with eight points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one block over 18 minutes.

Impact After reaching double-digit scoring figures in nine straight games, Johnson has now logged consecutive outings with single-digit points while playing his fewest minutes Sunday since the Dec. 25 loss to the Knicks. The former first-rounder remains cemented as San Antonio's clear-cut sixth man off the bench, but he'll likely remain a borderline option in nine-category fantasy leagues due to his lack of contributions outside of the scoring department.

Leads San Antonio in scoring Johnson posted 24 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-105 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Johnson had a solid showing on both ends of the court and posted an impressive stat line, leading the Spurs in both points and rebounds despite coming off the bench. This was Johnson's fourth game with at least 20 points this season, and he remains a productive player, both in real life and fantasy, despite his second-unit role. Johnson has also scored in double digits in seven games in a row, averaging 15.1 points and shooting 47.5 percent from the floor in that stretch.

Decent outing in loss Johnson amassed 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 114-110 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Johnson has seen his role with the Spurs change this season. He's strictly a bench player, averaging 12.2 points per game compared to 15.7 last season. The 25-year-old forward is still trying to get comfortable in his new role, while San Antonio appears to be trending up, hovering around .500 this season.

Bounces back Friday Johnson ended with 15 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 96-87 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Johnson was coming off six straight games in which he couldn't reach the 15-point mark, and he had scored six combined points in his past two outings against the Knicks and Sixers during the current road trip. Johnson remains a valuable player for the Spurs due to his nature as a scorer in the second unit, but his fantasy appeal isn't as high as it's been in previous years. The six-year veteran is averaging his lowest scoring figures per game since his rookie year when he averaged 9.1 points on 17.7 minutes per contest.

Rough performance against Knicks Johnson ended Wednesday's 117-114 loss to New York with two points (1-2 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes.

Impact Back-to-back rough performances for Johnson, as he could not get it going in the scoring department on Christmas Day against the Knicks. Johnson scored only two points against New York in 18 minutes, which marks the worst scoring output of the season for the 25-year-old and could cause concern moving forward.

Solid contributions in return Johnson (calf) totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Thursday's 133-126 overtime win over the Hawks.

Impact Johnson had missed the Spurs' last two games with a left calf strain, but he wasn't operating on any sort of playing-time restriction Thursday. He led the San Antonio bench in minutes and delivered an unusually well-rounded line, as he had been averaging 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals per contest heading into the day. Johnson could end up sticking in a 25-to-30-minute role now that he's healthy again, but it'll likely take an injury to one of San Antonio's starters for him to see enough usage to re-emerge as a must-roster player in 12-team points or category leagues.

Cleared for Thursday Johnson (calf) will play Thursday against the Hawks, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson was listed as probable on the Spurs' injury report leading up to Thursday's matchup, and he's since been cleared to suit up. He was averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in his last five games before going down with the calf injury.

Out vs. Minnesota Johnson (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson will miss a second straight game due to a left calf injury, and it's uncertain when he'll be able to return. His absence should open the door for players such as Charles Bassey and Malaki Branham to see more minutes off the bench. Johnson's next chance to play will come against the Hawks on Thursday.

Impact Johnson sustained the calf injury during the second quarter of Sunday's contest, and he'll have to wait until Friday's game against Portland to make his potential return.

Impact Johnson's 28 points Thursday were a season high and the third time he's reached the 20-point threshold. He has scored in double digits in six of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 25.6 minutes per contest.

Impact Johnson returned from a one-game absence Tuesday against the Jazz, finishing with 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and five rebounds in 19 minutes.

Impact Johnson returned from a one-game absence and played limited minutes as a precaution. The Spurs play the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday against the Lakers, so it's possible the team dialed the forward back to keep him somewhat fresh for that contest.
