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 forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) will play on Wednesday versus Utah. He wasn't available for Monday's meeting with the Phoenix Suns and was deemed questionable heading into this contest. But the rookie participated in shootaround on Wednesday morning, which was a good sign regarding his chance to suit up. Wembanyama has dominated the Jazz in two meetings this season, averaging 18.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 5.0 blocks. With that in mind, his return will mean less work for Zach Collins, who had 18 points in 30 minutes on Monday.
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.
San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The talented rookie missed Monday's game with a sprained ankle, and his playing status is in doubt once again. The injury is not severe considering the fact he has a chance to play, however, it would not be surprising for the Spurs to be extra cautious with their young star and let him rest, especially since the Spurs do not have much to play for at this point. If Wembanyama does sit out, Zach Collins would likely benefit once again. Collins started the last game and posted 18 points, five rebounds, and three assists.
