Keldon Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Dealing with back spasms Johnson is questionable to play Sunday against Boston due to back spasms, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Johnson logged a full workload in Friday's loss to Portland, delivering 29 points in 32 minutes, but he appeared to be laboring at times throughout the contest. Nonetheless, he did not appear on the injury report until Sunday morning, which could be an ominous sign on the state of his back. More light will be shed on his status throughout San Antonio's shootaround and pregame warm-ups. The 24-year-old has come off the bench for San Antonio's last four contests, with Julian Champagnie getting a stretch in the starting lineup.

Keeps thriving off bench Friday Johnson contributed 29 points (9-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-11 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 134-128 loss to Portland.

Impact Johnson has played off the bench in each of San Antonio's last four games in an attempt to spark the second unit. Even though the Spurs have gone 1-3 in that span, Johnson's numbers have been decent, as he has scored at least 25 points in two of those outings. He should continue coming off the bench when the Spurs take on the Celtics on Sunday, but Johnson's fantasy upside shouldn't be affect by the new role given he is still playing a prominent role on offense.

Suits up Friday Johnson (back) will play in Friday's game against Portland, independent NBA writer Matthew Tynan reports.

Impact Johnson has missed only one game this season and will suit up for the second leg of this back-to-back set despite some lower back soreness. With Victor Wembanyama (ankle) sitting out Friday, Johnson could be in line for more usage on the offensive end.

Questionable for Friday Johnson is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to low back soreness, Ty Jager of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Johnson has missed just one game this season, but it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday. He's come off the bench in his last three appearances and has averaged 17.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 28.0 minutes per game. If he's sidelined Friday, Doug McDermott and Cedi Osman are candidates to see increased run.

Double-digit scoring run ends Johnson totaled nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 win over Portland.

Impact Johnson's nine points ended a 19-game streak of double-digit scoring where he averaged 18.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 33.1 minutes. He's also now come off the bench for three straight games after previously starting every other appearance. Coach Gregg Popovich continues to tinker with San Antonio's lineup, but fantasy managers shouldn't panic about this recent development. Johnson is still one of the most talented scorers on the Spurs, giving him a high minutes floor for the struggling squad.

Shines off bench despite defeat Johnson closed Tuesday's 130-118 loss to Utah with 26 points (9-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes.

Impact Johnson was impressive off the bench and provided a spark for a struggling Spurs team, but his contributions were not enough to avoid yet another loss, as San Antonio remains rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Despite the team's struggles, Johnson has been a serviceable asset in fantasy regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench. He's averaging 18.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game across 11 appearances (nine starts) in December.

Participates in shootaround Johnson (back), who is probable for Thursday's game against Chicago, participated in the Spurs' morning shootaround, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Double-doubles vs. Bucks Johnson closed with 28 points (9-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 132-119 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Johnson had been very inconsistent with his scoring figures in recent outings, but he delivered one of his most efficient outings of the campaign in a 13-point loss to the Bucks. Johnson missed just four shots from the field and also showed energy on the glass, with his 12-rebound haul being his best mark of the campaign. Johnson has scored at least 20 points in four of his last seven contests, and he should remain the Spurs' primary offensive weapon as long as Victor Wembanyama (ankle) remains sidelined.

DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Awful shooting display Sunday Johnson finished with 13 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 146-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Johnson was absolutely woeful on both ends of the court, and while he ended just two rebounds shy of a double-double, the fact that he went 6-for-18 from the field in a game the Spurs lost by 36 points can't be overlooked. Johnson should remain one of San Antonio's main offensive weapons, but he needs to improve when it comes to his efficiency.
