San Antonio Spurs DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (foot) won't play against Golden State on Sunday. He was hurt on Friday versus the Knicks and sits out the action with a foot sprain. San Antonio could also be without Devin Vassell (foot), who's listed as questionable. This means we could see a lot of Julian Champagnie, Malaki Branham, and Blake Wesley on Sunday in a game that's projected to be a high-scoring affair -- Vegas has set the total at 226.5 points.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Keldon Johnson (knee) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Knicks. He's recovered from right knee soreness to take up his usual role as San Antonio's top guy off the pine. Despite the bench role, Johnson plays a significant role for the Spurs and has had a solid campaign with averages of 15.8 points and 5.5 rebounds. However, he struggled in this season's first meeting with the Knicks, producing only nine points in 33 minutes. It wasn't surprising to see, as the New York squad is allowing the second-fewest bench points in the league this season.

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson missed the team's previous game versus the Utah Jazz due to right knee soreness. The Spurs benefited from Johnson playing well over the past month and taking advantage of extra minutes to increase his numbers. Malaki Branham and Cedi Osman should see their minutes increase if Johnson is forced to miss another game or multiple games moving forward. San Antonio's best players, Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan, would have higher ceilings if Johnson isn't in the lineup.

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) and forward Keldon Johnson (knee) participated in Wednesday's morning shootaround. While both players remain formally listed as questionable for the game against the Utah Jazz, their presences at the session puts them on the right side of their designations. Wembanyama is dealing with a sprained left ankle, while Johnson is nursing soreness in his left knee, and their next chance to return would come on Friday against the New York Knicks if they sit out on Wednesday. In eight games without Wemby this season, Zach Collins is averaging 16.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.6 threes and could dominate frontcourt minutes as a must-start fantasy play against a Jazz squad yielding the most FanDuel points to enemy power forwards.

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (knee) is currently dealing with knee soreness and is officially listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 24-year-old is coming off a 14-point outing after playing 31 minutes against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Fantasy managers will need to check back closer to tip-off to get a better idea about his status. If he were to miss Wednesday's game, more minutes would likely go to Julian Champagnie and Cedi Osman. Malaki Branham could also see more playing time if Johnson were ruled out.
