• Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Posts double-double in win

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson closed with 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 win over the Trail Blazers. Johnson set his season high in rebounds while posting his second-highest mark in points on the year. The 25-year-old remains in a reserve role, though his recent production and the injury of Jeremy Sochan (thumb) bodes well for Johnson's playing time moving forward. In his last five regular-season outings, Johnson has averaged 15.0 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.8 steals across 27.0 minutes per game while shooting 51.9 percent from the field.

• Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Logs 13 points in reserve role

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson provided 13 points (3-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 106-88 win over Utah. Johnson appears set to play a sixth-man role for the Spurs this season, although he could see some spot starts, depending on the matchup. The Kentucky product experienced a huge dip in production during his fifth season with the Spurs, starting only 27 of 69 games after being a consistent first-unit player for most of his career. He'll still garner enough minutes to be viable in fantasy formats, but it's best to keep expectations in check.

• Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Scores 16 points off bench

  16D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson produced 16 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 win over the Rockets. Johnson was impressive Saturday and constantly delivered a lift off the bench for San Antonio. Even though the sixth-year forward would be a competent starter for several teams, the Spurs are comfortable playing him off the bench, allowing Harrison Barnes and Jeremy Sochan to start in the forward spots. Johnson should remain a reliable offensive weapon for San Antonio and a solid fantasy contributor in his steady second-unit role.

• Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Struggles off bench

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson ended with seven points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Mavericks. Johnson moved to a primary bench role last season, starting in just 27 of his 63 appearances. With the addition of Harrison Barnes in the offseason, it appears that Johnson will receive an even more decreased role this year. Johnson's main fantasy value moving forward will likely be as a scoring punch off San Antonio's bench.

• Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Not on injury report

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Johnson (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Mavericks. Johnson is cleared to suit up for the regular-season opener after resting during the Spurs' preseason finale. The sixth-year wing is expected to operate off the bench again this season, but he was productive in that role last year, averaging 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.5 minutes per game.
