To say that Keldon Johnson has been in a slump would be an understatement. In the five games since sitting out against the Clippers, the young forward is averaging a shade under 14 points in 19 shots, shooting 28 percent from the floor, 16 percent from beyond the arc, and 64 percent from the line.
It’s been ugly and Johnson knows it, but he seems to be keeping a positive mindset and is starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
“I feel like every player goes through rough patches,” Johnson said in the post-game interview after the loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, in which he had a disastrous first half but came alive in the second.
