Questionable Wednesday Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.
Impact Johnson has missed the past two games with hamstring tightness, prompting Keita Bates-Diop (ankle) to join the starting lineup. However, Bates-Diop is also questionable Wednesday, so the Spurs may have to turn elsewhere. If both players are sidelined, more minutes could be in store for Doug McDermott, Stanley Johnson and Isaiah Roby.

Impact Johnson is with the Spurs for their two-game road trip in Memphis, but he'll be unavailable for Monday's matchup due to his hamstring injury.

Misses shootaround, iffy for Monday Johnson (hamstring) didn't participate in the Spurs' morning shootaround and remains listed as questionable for Monday's game in Memphis, Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-N...
Impact Though Johnson joined the Spurs for their two-game road trip to Memphis and hasn't been officially ruled out for Monday, his absence from shootaround suggests he'll likely miss the first of the team's matchups with the Grizzlies. If Johnson is ruled out ahead of the 8 p.m. ET opening tip, the Spurs will likely turn to a combination of Malaki Branham, Josh Richardson, Doug McDermott, Stanley Johnson and Keita Bates-Diop to help fill his minutes.

Won't return Friday Johnson has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Pistons due to a left hamstring injury, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Impact The extent of the hamstring issue remains unclear, but Johnson can likely be, at best, considered questionable for the second half of San Antonio's back-to-back set Saturday against the Celtics. Johnson will finish Friday's contest with eight points and one assist in 13 minutes.

Leads scoring attack Johnson provided 26 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 loss to New York.
Impact Johnson totaled a team-high 26 points in Wednesday's clash, stretching his streak of 20-plus points to four straight contests. He's averaging 27.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists over this brief hot stretch, with his scoring average for the season now sitting at 21.6 points per game (34 appearances).

Scores 22 points in loss Johnson notched 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 139-103 loss to the Nets.
Impact Johnson was forced to miss two games just before Christmas but has looked good since returning to the court, putting up at least 20 points in four of his last six appearances and draining multiple threes in all but one of those outings. Johnson is averaging 23.2 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the field in that span, meaning the shooting slump that affected him through late November and most of December seems to be disappearing.

Scores 30 points again Johnson accumulated 30 points (10-19 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) and four rebounds over 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-125 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Aside from scoring 30 points in back-to-back games, Johnson has been remarkably consistent with his scoring figures after putting up 15 or more points in 15 games in a row. Johnson has had some poor shooting performances in that stretch, but overall, his fantasy numbers have been solid enough to say he's firmly entrenched as the Spurs' main offensive threat. Johnson averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game in December.

Pops for 30 points in victory Johnson closed Thursday's 122-115 win over the Knicks with 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 32 minutes.
Impact Johnson led the way Thursday, powering the Spurs to a rare victory on the back of his fourth 30-point effort of the season. Despite averaging 21.2 points this season, Johnson currently sits as the 192nd-ranked player in standard formats. His efficiency typically leaves a lot to be desired, while his peripheral numbers could use some work. He remains a rosterable player but obviously isn't going to fit every build.

Doug McDermott (knee) is also questionable for the second half of the back-to-back set, so if both forwards are sidelined, Josh Richardson, Stanley Johnson, Keita Bates-Diop, Malaki Branham and Romeo Langford would all be candidates for increased roles.
