Stanley Johnson News, Rumors, Updates - San Antonio Spurs

Signs deal overseas Johnson signed a deal in the Euroleague with Anadolu Efes, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact An NBA veteran with eight seasons of experience, Johnson never quite found his stride in stints with the Pistons, Pelicans, Raptors, Lakers and Spurs. In 449 career NBA games, Johnson produced averages of 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 three-pointers.

Player rights acquired by Stockton The Stockton Kings acquired Johnson's returning player rights from the Sioux Falls Skyforce Tuesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact In a deal brokered between Sacramento and Miami's G League affiliates, Johnson's player rights now belong to the Stockton Kings. Sacramento's main roster has an open spot, but it's unclear if that will be used on Johnson. The 27-year-old hasn't played since being waived by San Antonio in February, and his last G League action came in 2019-20 with Toronto.

Will be let go by San Antonio The Spurs will release Johnson on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Johnson garnered a modest reserve role for the Spurs this season, averaging 5.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 15.6 minutes across 30 appearances. He's shooting 45.0 percent from three and is a solid defender, so there'll presumably be a few contenders interested in acquiring him for the stretch run.

Sees big backup minutes Johnson closed with seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-118 overtime loss to Phoenix.

Impact With several key wings out for the Spurs on Saturday night, Johnson saw a season-high 26 minutes. While his usage was still fairly low, he had an unusually high rebounding night and set a season high with 12 boards. However, fantasy managers don't need to take much from this performance, as Johnson's role will likely be diminished when Josh Richardson (knee) and Romeo Langford (hip) are back in action.

Active Thursday Johnson (wrist) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Impact Johnson was handed a questionable designation Thursday with right wrist soreness, but the issue will not prevent him from playing. With Josh Richardson (knee) and Jeremy Sochan (quad) sitting out, Johnson could be in line for a few extra minutes. However, he has failed to cross the five-point threshold in five of his last six contests.

Questionable Thursday Johnson is questionable for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to right wrist soreness.

Impact Johnson was held scoreless for just the second time this season during Wednesday's loss to the Lakers, and it's possible that his wrist issue contributed to his struggles. He hasn't missed a game since making his Spurs debut in mid-December, but it's unclear whether he'll be available Thursday.

Has little impact again Tuesday Johnson ended Tuesday's 106-98 victory over the Nets with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over six minutes.

Impact Johnson played fewer than 15 minutes for the fifth time in his past six games, offering basically nothing from a fantasy perspective. While he has been able to carve out a regular spot in the rotation, Johnson is clearly not a part of the long-term plans for the Spurs. He can be ignored in just about every fantasy format, although if for some reason he sees an increase in playing time, he could have limited value as a steals streamer.

JANUARY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Best performance of season Thursday Johnson accumulated 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 13 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Johnson -- on a one-year, $1.7 million deal with the Spurs -- has been playing in the G League until recently. He's appeared in the Spurs' past four games as the squad has dealt with injuries. Thursday's effort was his best of the season, and over the past two contests, he's combined for 22 points, seven boards, five assists, three blocks and one steal in 32 minutes. However, everyone is healthy for Friday's game against the Magic, so Johnson may return to seeing insignificant action.

Impact Johnson was traded from the Lakers to the Jazz back in August. The 2015 No. 8 pick played 48 games for the Lakers last season and averaged 6.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.8 minutes. While Johnson has made improvements in his efficiency and defense, he finds himself looking to join his fourth team in three seasons.
