Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Iffy against Golden State
Keldon Johnson is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Warriors due to right hamstring tightness, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.Johnson appears to have tweaked his hamstring against Utah and is now in danger of missing his first contest of the season. If Johnson is unable to suit up against Golden State, Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie and Sandro Mamukelashvilli are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Fuels rally in victory
Keldon Johnson chipped in 22 points (7-15 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 110-104 victory over Oklahoma City.Johnson was involved in two key plays that began a monstrous 25-3 run in the first half. He jammed a momentum-building dunk and followed up immediately with a key three-pointer to give San Antonio the lead. Johnson continues to be a solid sixth man for the San Antonio Spurs, and although the first unit eludes him, he's still averaging around 25 minutes per game. If Victor Wembanyama (knee) and Devin Vassell (knee) remain sidelined, Johnson should continue seeing elevated usage.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Posts double-double in win
Keldon 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
Keldon 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 San Antonio 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
Keldon 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 San Antonio 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
Keldon 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: Solid showing off bench
Keldon Johnson scored 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding five rebounds, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 120-117 preseason loss to the Heat.The 25-year-old forward's minutes have been in the low 20s for all three of his preseason appearances, and while other spots in the lineup remain unsettled, Johnson appears headed for a frontcourt role on the second unit to begin the 2024-25 campaign. He's averaged at least 15.0 points, 5.0 boards and 1.8 threes per game in each of the last three seasons, but that production came in a starting role that afforded him 29.5 minutes a game or more. With Jeremy Sochan apparently getting the first crack at the starting power forward job alongside Victor Wembanyama, Johnson's numbers figure to take a tumble.

Spurs' Keldon Johnson: Excellent in preseason win
Keldon Johnson had 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 126-120 preseason win over the Jazz.Johnson was the best player for the San Antonio Spurs in this game, and the forward continues to turn heads with his play as a reliable option off the bench. Johnson should operate as San Antonio's primary scoring option in the second unit once the regular season begins, and he should see enough minutes and have enough usage to be a valuable fantasy contributor across most formats.
