Keon Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Steps up with team-high 20 points Johnson ended Wednesday's 108-84 loss to Phoenix with a team-high 20 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes.

Impact With most of Brooklyn's starters in street clothes Wednesday, Johnson gave the injury-riddled team a lift with a team-high 20 points, albeit in a losing effort. The former first-rounder has seen an extended run with this rebuilding club lately, averaging 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes over his last 11 games. Since his nightly usage mostly depends on who is healthy for the Nets, however, Johnson is likely to remain a hit-or-miss fantasy option going forward.

Leads team with 22 points Johnson chipped in 22 points (8-21 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 124-105 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The Nets were outplayed and overworked Friday evening, but Johnson did his best to keep the team above water. Numerous injuries have thrust Johnson into an expanded role, and Friday's result marked his second-highest scoring total of the season. The The Tennessee product will continue to be a key part of the offense while the Nets limp through the schedule.

Productive in loss Johnson posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and four steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 113-99 loss to the Pacers.

Impact With the Nets dealing with several injuries and unloading some veterans via trade recently, Johnson has become a popular pickup in fantasy basketball. Over his last eight appearances, he's been very productive with averages of 14.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per contest.

Flirts with triple-double in loss Johnson scored 15 points (5-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), grabbed eight boards, dished eight assists and nabbed one steal in 36 minutes during the 123-94 loss to the 76ers on Saturday.

Impact Johnson stuffed the stat sheet as a starter in Cam Thomas's (hamstring) absence. The fourth-year guard is averaging 10.4 points and 3.8 assists with the first unit this year, and with Thomas expected to miss multiple weeks, Johnson could be due for an increased role in the offense, especially if D'Angelo Russell (shin) also misses extended time.

Tallies 17 points Wednesday Johnson racked up 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 130-113 loss to Toronto.

Impact Johnson scored double-digits for the fifth straight game, continuing his recent bump in form. He has recorded at least one steal in all five games, logging at least 29 minutes in four. Although the return of Cam Thomas (injury management) will impact Johnson's opportunities, he should remain a key piece in the rotation given the Nets are simply trying to get a look at what their young core can deliver on a nightly basis.

Scores career-high 25 points Johnson recorded 25 points (10-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Johnson notched a new career-high scoring mark and led Brooklyn in this tight loss to the Spurs. The former Tennessee standout has been starting in recent weeks due to the team's lack of depth in the backcourt, including the injuries to players such as Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Ziaire Williams (knee), but Johnson is making the most of the opportunity. He's scored in double digits in four of his last seven starts.

Records three steals Johnson finished with 15 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to the Heat.

Impact Johnson recorded a season-high three steals, a number he's reached four times in his career. The Nets were shorthanded Monday with Dorian Finney-Smith (calf) out, but Monday's line is something to keep in mind with the Nets rumored to be sellers at the trade deadline. Johnson is certainly on the deep-league radar going forward.

Bam Adebayo scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half and the Miami Heat snapped a three-game skid with a 110-95 win over the Brooklyn Nets

Starting role yields little Johnson finished Saturday's 105-94 loss to the Jazz with eight points (3-14 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact Johnson continues to start for the Nets but has yet to fully take advantage of the situation. Having now started seven consecutive games, Johnson has scored double-digits only once, producing 43 total points in that time. Although there is a chance he continues to start, at least for the foreseeable future, Johnson is unlikely to be a leading producer, especially once the team is healthy.

Puts up 12 points Friday Johnson logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Friday's 135-119 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Johnson scored in double digits for the first time since moving to the starting lineup on Dec. 2, and this was certainly a step in the right direction after struggling with his shot in recent games. In his four starts, Johnson is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 31.3 percent from the floor, so he needs to improve in the efficiency department to boost his fantasy stock.

Starting Monday vs. Bulls Johnson will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Johnson will receive his first start as a member of the Nets, with his last start coming in the 2021-22 campaign with Portland. Across his last five outings, the 22-year-old guard averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 24.0 minutes per contest while shooting 39.1 percent from the field.

Steps up off bench in defeat Johnson totaled 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 100-92 loss to the Magic.

Impact Johnson saw north of 30 minutes off the bench, using that time on the court to end as one of four Nets players with a double-digit point total while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals defensively. Johnson has reached double figures in four outings this season, doing so in two straight contests while connecting on at least two threes in both of those outings.
