Keon Johnson News
Phoenix Suns guard Keon Johnson will reportedly be waived so that the team can cut down the roster to 15 players. The 21-year-old found his way to Phoenix during the three-team trade with Milwaukee and Portland that also saw Jusuf Nurkic joining the team. Johnson didn't seem to impress the coaching staff enough to hang around on the end of the bench. He'll likely latch on somewhere that has a two-way deal available or a tanking team that needs to fill out their bench.
The Portland Trail Blazers finally satisfied Damian Lillard's trade request on Wednesday, and forward Nassir Little and guard Keon Johnson ended up on the Phoenix Suns in the fallout of the comings and goings. The Suns also netted Jusuf Nurkic and Grayson Allen while Portland got Deandre Ayton out of Phoenix in the swap. Little took a step back last year after a decent 2021-22 season that saw him average 9.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.2 threes, and 0.9 blocks in 25.9 minutes over 42 games (23 starts). Johnson only averaged 4.7 points during 10.4 minutes a year ago, so he's likely hard-pressed to see meaningful run in the desert, too. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on names such as Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray to absorb more minutes in Portland in wake of the move.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson (finger) won't be available for the remainder of Summer League. The 21-year-old saw just one minute of work in Friday's loss to the Houston Rockets before he exited because of dislocated right index finger. Fortunately, the start of the 2023-24 campaign is months away, so Johnson should be good to go by then, barring a significant setback. However, he hasn't done much during his time in Portland, so his fantasy stock won't be impacted either way.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. It appears Johnson fractured his finger during pregame shootaround. A tough blow to the Blazers who are already extremely shorthanded heading into this game. Now, Shaedon Sharpe will start and have a bigger role in the rotation. He's well worth looking at as a streaming option with the Blazers not having many options to turn to right now.
