The San Antonio Spurs have emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the 2025-26 NBA season, jumping from 13th place to the second seed behind Victor Wembanyama's stellar performance. Keldon Johnson, playing as the team's sixth man, has reinvigorated his career and believes the group can continue their successful trajectory.
'Nobody will tell you that the expectations were to be the #2 seed, but we're thriving and surviving,' Johnson stated. 'That is the name of the game in the NBA. Stay healthy, together, and continue to play for each other.' As the longest-tenured player with the organization, Johnson will be among the leaders as the Spurs face increased pressure in the second half of the season.
