Stanley Johnson

Stanley Johnson has been released by the San Antonio Spurs. He will look to join a contender.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson played a bench role on the Spurs this season, averaging 5.8 points in 15.6 minutes per game. If he does end up on a contending team, his fantasy value would likely take a hit.

The San Antonio Spurs have signed veteran forward Stanley Johnson to a one-year contract, per The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Fantasy Impact

Amid all of the injuries to the Spurs, they are bringing in the former lottery pick. Johnson was released prior to the season by the Utah Jazz after an off-season trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. During his eight-year career, Johnson has struggled to provide much fantasy value. The tanking Spurs might give him some run, but with so many young players on the team, it would make sense for them to see what they have. That will likely hinder Johnson's upside.

Stanley Johnson recorded 21 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, and one steal in 32 minutes in Friday's win over the Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

With the Lakers so short-handed, Johnson was able to put his talents on display in hopes of staying in the purple and gold for next season. LeBron James is already ruled out while Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook are question marks for Sunday. Johnson will look to continue to take advantage of an expanded role when the Lakers visit the Nuggets on Sunday.

Stanley Johnson compiled 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-6 3PT, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday’s 114-110 loss to the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson followed up his career performance by recording a double-double in Friday’s loss. He’s now recorded double-doubles in back-to-back games. Since entering the starting lineup on May 11th, Johnson had averaged 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.7 steals, and 3.0 triples across 33.0 minutes over three games. Johnson will look to continue his torrid play when the Raptors host the Pacers in the regular-season finale on Sunday.

Stanley Johnson scored a game-high 35 points (12-22 FG, 6-13 3PT, 5-7 FT), along with 10 rebounds, five assists, and three steals across 43 minutes during Thursday’s 114-102 loss to the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson erupted for a career-high 35 points and recorded his first double-double of the season during Thursday’s loss. He led the team in points, rebounds, steals, and field goal attempts. The Raptors continue to rest their regulars and Johnson is expected to see an expanded role in the team’s final two games. Johnson can be used as a streamer as the Raptors are out of the NBA playoff race. The 24-year-old will look to build on Thursday’s career performance when the Raptors visit the Mavericks on Friday.
