Keon Johnson: Breaking News

Waived by Nets

The Nets waived Johnson on Wednesday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. This comes as a bit of a surprise, as Johnson was unable to survive Brooklyn's roster crunch. The 23-year-old guard averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 79 regular-season appearances (56 starts) in 2024-25, and he was on the books for only $2.35 million in 2025-26. He's likely to draw interest from around the NBA following this news.

Team option picked up

The Nets exercised their $2.35 million team option in Johnson's contract Saturday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Johnson will return to the Nets for the 2025-26 season after a career-best 2024-25 campaign. The 23-year-old guard averaged 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in 79 regular-season appearances (56 starts) this past season.

Nearly double-doubles

Johnson racked up 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Sunday's 113-105 loss to New York. With the Nets pivoting to a rebuild early on this season, Johnson became a key rotation player down the stretch. He made 79 regular-season appearances, posting averages of 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers on 38.9 percent from the field and 77.0 percent from the line. On a per-game basis, Johnson finished outside the top 200 in nine-category formats, however.
