Wed Nov 2 2022 | 18:37 | Keldon Johnson Out For Wednesday Night |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (calf) will not suit up for the team on Wednesday night against the Toronto Raptors. Since Devin Vassell is also listed as out for this game, there will be plenty of minutes for both Doug McDermott and Josh Richardson. Both of them have put up some good games when given the extra minutes and could be solid streaming options if needed. Since the injury is listed as calf tightness, managers will want to check back to see if only a one-game absence is needed. |

Sun Oct 30 2022 | 22:35 | Keldon Johnson Stuffs Stat Sheet Versus Timberwolves |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson registered a good all-around game during a 107-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. His final stat line was 25 points, six rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and one block. He even shot 8-for-15 overall while adding 5-for-10 from deep. For the fantasy managers that drafted Johnson around his ADP of 75, he's been returning plenty more value than expected. He's been taking another step in his growth and should continue to be the go-to option of the Spurs. |

Sun Sep 25 2022 | 14:10 | Keldon Johnson Expects To Be Ready For Regular Season |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (shoulder) is expected to miss the beginning of training camp. The 22-year-old dislocated his right shoulder during an open gym session. However, he's forecasted to be ready for the 2022-23 campaign. Johnson averaged 17.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and shot 39.8% from deep last season. With Dejounte Murray now in Atlanta, Johnson is predicted to be the primary offensive focus for the Spurs this season. While the injury is concerning, fantasy managers shouldn't let it discourage them from drafting him unless things take a turn for the worse moving ahead. |

Mon Aug 1 2022 | 20:40 | Keldon Johnson Not Taking New Deal Lightly |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson isn't looking to tone things down after signing a four-year, $80 million extension. "I was in the gym the next day," Johnson said, "I'm in the best shape of my life, the strongest I have been in my life." The 22-year-old has averaged 14.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists since entering the league in 2019. He will have a lot on his plate this season, primarily after the Spurs traded superstar Dejounte Murray to the Hawks. As a result, Johnson has more upside than ever and may end up in the All-Star conversation. His shooting percentages have also improved, so his stock in category formats is trending in the right direction. |

Sat Jul 16 2022 | 12:12 | Spurs Retaining Keldon Johnson With New Deal |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract extension. The 22-year-old had a breakout season in 2021-22, finishing with averages of 17.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 38.5% from deep. With Dejounte Murray now in Atlanta, Johnson has an excellent chance to become the team's top producer moving ahead. He should draw plenty of attention from fantasy managers heading into October. |

Sat Mar 12 2022 | 16:43 | Keldon Johnson Getting A Night Off |
San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (rest) won't play versus the Pacers on Saturday. The team is playing its second of consecutive outings, so the 22-year-old will get the night off to rest. Without him, Keita Bates-Diop will likely slide into his spot in the rotation. Bates-Diop has averaged only 7.6 points through 13 starts on the year. However, with Dejounte Murray (calf) and Jakob Poeltl (back) also not suiting up, his ceiling is slightly higher, although he remains a risky fantasy option in all formats, nonetheless. |

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He'll join teammates Dejounte Murray (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (back) on the sideline for Saturday's contest. Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker IV are looking like solid streaming options with the Spurs banged up. Both should see heavy minutes with the Spurs shorthanded for this contest. |

Fri Jan 7 2022 | 17:25 | Keldon Johnson Enters COVID-19 Protocols |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Thursday, joining squadmates Derrick White, Devin Vassell, and Thaddeus Young. As a result, Johnson won't play on Friday evening against the 76ers. The sophomore has had a stable 2021-22 campaign, averaging 11.1 points and 3.9 boards throughout 32 games, mostly coming in from off the bench. Nonetheless, with all of the absences across the Spurs' roster, those available should log more minutes than usual. However, Dejounte Murray, Lonnie Walker IV, and Jakob Poeltl should do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end versus Philly. |

Mon Dec 27 2021 | 13:50 | Keldon Johnson Scores Team-High 27 Points In Win Sunday |
San Antonio Spurs small forward Keldon Johnson scored a team-high 27 points during a 144-109 blowout win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. The 22-year-old was an efficient, 10-for-12 from the field, including 4-for-4 from deep, and 3-for-3 from the line. The Kentucky product also added five boards and an assist across only 23 minutes. With lead guard Dejounte Murray in health and safety protocols, Johnson should see an added role on offense for the Spurs, in the short term. On the season, the third-year forward is averaging 15.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.6 triples per game on 48.1% shooting. |

Thu Dec 16 2021 | 10:32 | Keldon Johnson Notches 21 Points Against Charlotte |
San Antonio Spurs small forward Keldon Johnson had his best offensive performance in a month on Wednesday, notching 21 points on 9-for-16 shooting in a losing effort against the Hornets. He sank three shots from deep with seven attempts and finished off his line with three rebounds and one assist in 32 minutes. Johnson is the second-best scorer on the team behind Dejounte Murray, but his recent performances have been fairly inconsistent. Going up against Utah on Friday won't put Johnson in a great spot to perform either, but he should finish the week on a high with Sunday's matchup against the Kings, who can't defend but like to push the pace. |

Sat Dec 11 2021 | 19:49 | Keldon Johnson Will Play Saturday |
San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Luckily, Johnson was only forced to miss one game due to this ankle injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich initially mentioned Johnson was unlikely to play, but it sounds like he beat the odds. His return will mean less minutes and usage for Doug McDermott and Devin Vassell. It doesn't sound like Johnson is going to be limited, so fantasy managers can plug him back into their lineups. |

Thu Dec 9 2021 | 20:35 | Keldon Johnson Unlikely To Play On Saturday |
San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He already missed Tuesday's contest and will sit out on Thursday as well. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned Johnson is unlikely to be healthy enough to play during their rematch with Denver on Saturday. Keita Bates-Diop, Doug McDermott, and Devin Vassell are expected to all see increased playing time. Vassell is the best option out of the trio. He is a solid streaming option and should be rostered in most formats while Johnson is out. |

Thu Dec 9 2021 | 13:40 | Keldon Johnson Ruled Out For Thursday |
San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is not surprising given the fact Johnson was listed as doubtful heading into this contest. Fantasy managers should consider Johnson day-to-day while he deals with this ankle issue. Devin Vassell (quad) is hopeful to play, so he'd likely see increased playing time, assuming he suits up. Vassell would be worth streaming if he plays, so fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if he's available. |

Sat Nov 27 2021 | 15:34 | Keldon Johnson Logs Double-Double In Win Friday |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson poured in 17 points and 14 boards during a 96-88 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday. The 22-year-old shot 7-for-12 from the field, including 1-for-2 from behind the arc, and 2-for-4 from the line. The Kentucky product also added two assists and a steal across 38 minutes. Johnson has seen an uptick in performance this season with DeMar DeRozan out of the picture, averaging 15.1 points, 6.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.1 triples, and 1.0 steals per game. |

San Antonio Spurs small forward Keldon Johnson had a good Friday night, shooting 8-for-15 from the floor on his way to 20 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a road win over the Magic. He added two assists and one steal to his line with two turnovers in 33 minutes. Johnson's performances tend to be pretty inconsistent but it's been a positive start to the season for him. The 22-year-old will be in a superb spot to have another strong game on Sunday against the Thunder, who are among the worst defensive teams in the league but like to push the pace. |

Sun Oct 31 2021 | 09:22 | Keldon Johnson Picks Up A Double-Double Against Bucks |
San Antonio Spurs small forward Keldon Johnson notched his first double-double of the season in Saturday's 102-93 win over Milwaukee, scoring 12 points on 5-for-13 shooting and picking up a team-high 11 rebounds. His line also included two assists with one steal, one block and zero turnovers in 31 minutes. Johnson nailed his second triple of the season in the game but also missed four attempts from deep. Gregg Popovich loves this guy and the Chesterfield, Virginia native has shown plenty of ability since the start of last season. He can have fun against Indiana's lackluster defense next, although it's a pretty ugly matchup in DFS context, as both teams play with a pretty slow pace. |

Sat Oct 23 2021 | 09:54 | Keldon Johnson Paces Team With 27 Points |
San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson was effective on both ends of the floor in Friday's loss to Denver. Johnson scored a team-high 27 points on 66.7 percent shooting from the field, swiping three steals on the defensive end. He failed to knock down a three-pointer for the second straight game but added four rebounds and two assists while turning the ball over just once. Johnson seemed poised for a breakout campaign last year before he tested positive for the virus, though he still posted career-bests in scoring, rebounding, and assists. Johnson is one to watch in the next few games to see if the usage on offense holds. |
