San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Brett Brown, left, talks with Spurs forward Keldon Johnson during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Phoenix Suns, Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022, in San Antonio. For Spurs forward Keldon Johnson, shooting a basketball is not the same as riding a bike.
The the calendar flipped to November, where Johnson made only 83 of 231 field attempts, including 35 of 110 3-point tries. He began December with a 7-of-23 performance against New Orleans that included 1-of-8 from the 3-point stripe. Two of those missed 3-pointers were airballs, while one ricocheted off the top of the backboard.
“This is what I work on all summer,” said Johnson, who is still averaging a career-best 20.4 points. “This is my job. This is my craft. When it ain’t working, I just keep going.” “My shot hasn’t been falling, so I have to impact the game in other ways,” Johnson said. “, I got it going in the post and mid-range area. I stayed with that and made it work.”Spurs’ Malaki Branham contributes elsewhere while searching for stroke
Johnson did not enter the NBA known as a 3-point shooter. He made himself into one last season, flirting with 40 percent from distance.
