The San Antonio Spurs have been on a roll lately and continued their winning ways with an impressive win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday evening. It was another solid game for Victor Vembanyama, who scored 19 points with 15 rebounds in the win.
One of the Spurs' unsung heroes this year is Keldon Johnson, who is one of the leading candidates for the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Recently, Spurs commentator and former player Sean Elliott joked about Johnson's listed weight of 215 pounds after a win over the Grizzlies.
“I wanted to ask you what you have listed here, because we've had a lot of fun with it over the last few months. According to the official game notes, you weigh exactly the same as Julian Champagne at 215, Stephen Castle weighs 220, which is more than you... Keldon Johnson, 6'6″, 215. What you're doing there at 215 pounds is amazing... I want to know how in the world you're getting away from that. Are,'' X, Elliott previously said on Twitter, per FanSided's Josh Paradee.
Johnson responded with a smile, "I'm not 215 years old." "Maybe a year ago. I'm a little over 215."
Regardless of his weight, Johnson has been a key piece for the Spurs this year, providing solid defense, showing an improved three-point touch, and continuing to be a force as a driver to the basket, putting consistent pressure on opposing defenses around the rim.
He is one of several Spurs players who have stepped up to give Wembanyama an elite supporting cast this year, and San Antonio is looking like a legitimate championship contender as a result.
The Spurs next play on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.
