San Antonio Spurs Keldon Johnson tries to stop Los Angeles Lakers Lebron James in the first half on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022 at AT&T Center. Los Angeles Lakers defeated the San Antonio Spurs 143-138.Spurs forward Keldon Johnson dealt with his recent benching with determination rather than defensiveness.
Two games later, Johnson was back to his usual productive self, finishing with 26 points and 10 rebounds - both team highs - before fouling out with 31 seconds left in Saturday’s 143-138 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers before an announced sellout crowd of 18,354 at the AT&T Center. He’s hopeful his strong shooting performance in the final period will mark the end of a slump in which he’s shoot just 28.4 percent from the floor and 16.7 percent from beyond the arc in his last five games after shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 42.3 percent from deep in his first 14 appearances.
“It’s hard to shoot the ball at whatever percentage I was shooting at the beginning of the season when I was really, really, hot,” Johnson said. “Then a little setback came, and I adjusted and came back out here tonight ready to go.” “I am a huge Keldon Johnson fan, with his size and physicality and the way he can shoot the ball and how he’s relentless in attacking,” Ham said. “Johnson and are both great up-and-coming kids in a great system with a phenomenal and historic head coach. It would behoove then to embrace everything being thrown at them.”
