Keon Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Ties career high Saturday Johnson closed Saturday's 135-121 loss to the Timberwolves with 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes.

Impact Johnson moved into the starting lineup Saturday, assuming a larger role with a number of key rotational pieces on the sideline. This was by far his best game as a Trail Blazer, as he scored more points than in his previous three games combined. There is an element of intrigue when it comes to Johnson's fantasy appeal, but for now he is simply a player to watch in standard formats.

Starting Saturday Johnson will start Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Trail Blazers radio play-by-play announcer Travis Demers reports.

Impact Johnson is getting his second start of the season. In his three appearances with Portland, he's averaged 2.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Shifts back to bench Johnson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Impact With Elijah Hughes set to make his first start as a member of the Blazers, Johnson will return to a bench role after starting in place of Justice Winslow (Achilles) against Denver. In two appearances with Portland, the 19-year-old has averaged four points and four rebounds in 21.5 minutes per game.

Set for first NBA start Johnson will start Sunday's game against Denver, Blazers radio host Jay Allen reports.

Impact With Justise Winslow (Achilles) sidelined, Johnson will move into the lineup on the wing for the first start of his NBA career. The 2021 first-round pick of the Clippers came over from Los Angeles earlier in the month as part of the Norman Powell/Robert Covington trade. Johnson made his Blazers debut Thursday night against Golden State, playing 17 minutes and posting four points, four rebounds and one block.

Muted numbers in team debut Johnson (ankle) finished with four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block across 17 minutes Thursday in the Trail Blazers' 132-95 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Shortly after being dealt to the Trail Blazers on Feb. 4, Johnson sustained a sprained right ankle that prevented him from debuting with his new team before the All-Star break. Johnson rejoined the team for practice this week, however, and was cleared for the start of the Trail Blazers' second-half schedule. Though plenty of minutes should be up for grabs with six players on the roster dealing with long-term injuries, Johnson looks like he'll be behind at least Josh Hart and CJ Elleby in the pecking order on the wing, which will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from the rookie.

Making Blazers debut Johnson (ankle) is available to play Thursday against Golden State.

Impact Johnson hasn't been able to take the court since being traded due to a right ankle sprain, but the team medical staff has finally given him the green light to play. He should serve in a depth role behind CJ Elleby, Elijah Hughes and Ben McLemore.

FEBRUARY 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Thursday Johnson (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Per Holdahl's report, it appears Johnson is expected to make his Portland debut on Thursday as the Blazers host the Warriors. With Eric Bledsoe (Achilles) still sidelined, Johnson could potentially see some extra minutes in Portland's backcourt behind CJ Elleby and Ben McLemore if he's ultimately cleared. He averaged 3.5 points and 1.4 rebounds in 9.0 minutes per game with the Clippers earlier this season.

Will miss time with ankle injury Johnson said Monday that he'll be sidelined for at least a couple weeks due to an ankle injury, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Johnson was recently traded to the Trail Blazers in the deal that sent Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Clippers. He didn't make his Portland debut during Saturday's matchup with the Bucks, but it wasn't clear until Monday that his absence was the result of an injury. Based on what he had to say about the matter, Johnson looks like he won't make his Portland debut until after the All-Star break.

Impact Johnson did an excellent job filling the stat sheet, but he was far from effective. Aside from needing 20 shots just to score 19 points, he also committed 12 turnovers and was sloppy with the ball.
