Keldon Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs | FOX Sports

Scores 17 with 14 shots Johnson notched 17 points (5-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 133-113 loss to the Magic.

Impact Johnson returned from a two-game absence due to hamstring tightness but had a rough night from the field, and the Spurs felt that throughout the game in what turned out to be a disappointing loss. His role as one of the team's go-to players is not under threat and that gives him a strong floor, but the shooting woes are persistent. He's shooting a career-worst 41 percent from the field this season, but he seems to be turning things around and has made 45 percent of his attempts across eight games in December.

Will start Friday Johnson will start Friday's game against the Magic after missing a pair of contests due to hamstring tightness, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Impact Johnson's absence opened up the door for Romeo Langford to enter the starting five, but his return will likely slide Langford back to the second unit. The 24-year-old scored 20 or more points in six consecutive games leading up to his brief leave and should be expected to handle a full workload Friday.

Impact Johnson is currently listed as questionable for the contest due to a lower back contusion but may be on the wrong side of questionable given his absence Monday morning. If he were to miss, Doug McDermott and Keita Bates-Diop would likely handle larger workloads.

Leads Spurs in disappointing defeat Johnson finished Saturday's 111-101 loss to the Heat with 22 points (6-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Impact Johnson is showing signs of being able to leave his shooting slump in the past, but those woes are affecting his value. Even if he has scored at least 20 points in six games in a row, the lack of efficiency is hurting his value, especially considering his volume and the fact that he's the Spurs' go-to player on offense on a nightly basis.

Scores 25 with seven boards Johnson recorded 25 points (10-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 128-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Johnson has scored at least 20 points in five consecutive games and has reached the 15-point mark in nine straight contests, so his role as the Spurs' main offensive threat is all but secured. That said, the forward has struggled with his efficiency and has shot a meager 39.8 percent from the field during that nine-game span.
