Spurs seen as likely to extend Sixth Man Keldon Johnson

ESPN's Tim MacMahon says there's a good chance San Antonio works out a new deal for Keldon Johnson, who won Sixth Man of the Year last season.

Johnson enters the final year of his four-year, $74M rookie extension, worth roughly $17.5 million this season, and would hit unrestricted free agency in 2027 without an extension.

No terms on a new deal have been reported yet. MacMahon and ESPN's Brian Windhorst noted his role could shrink further with Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, Harrison Barnes and newly signed Tobias Harris all in the wing mix.

Trade idea swaps Fox, Johnson to Boston for George, Hauser

A hypothetical trade would send De'Aaron Fox and Keldon Johnson to Boston, with Paul George and Sam Hauser going back to San Antonio. The pitch argues the Celtics need Fox's rim pressure after ranking 26th in drives last season, while Johnson would replace some of what Jaylen Brown provides on the wing.
