On Wednesday, the Brooklyn Nets waived Keon Johnson, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The 21st overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft is coming off the most productive campaign of his career. Johnson generated 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. He established new personal bests in scoring and rebounding, and matched that when it comes to picking opponents' pockets.
The six-foot-five guard has played on three teams in four years. He spent the last two seasons in Brooklyn, with a franchise that's rebuilding. Johnson only appeared in five games during the 2023-24 campaign.
