The Spurs are his sixth team since he was drafted in 2018 by the Pacers.
Former Chicago Bulls forward Alize Johnson, center, will count the Spurs as his sixth NBA team in a well-traveled career.OKLAHOMA CITY — Alize Johnson was only hours off a plane in from Birmingham when his phone buzzed.“He told me I was headed back up to San Antonio,” Johnson said. “I really wasn’t expecting it. It’s a blessing.”
Having spent training camp with the Spurs before being waived in October, Johnson opened the season with the club’s G League affiliate in Austin. He appeared in 31 games with Indiana over two seasons, then hooked on with Brooklyn for an 18-game stint in 2020-21.Compared to that level of globetrotting, Johnson said, the 90-minute drive he had to make from Austin to San Antonio was nothing.
“I think I bring defense, a little of that dog, that fight,” Johnson said. “It’s a great group of guys here, and I feel like I could help.”Spurs forward Isaiah Roby was back in the familiar environs of the Paycom Center on Wednesday, his first trip back to the arena he called home for his first three NBA seasons.“I really enjoyed my time in OKC,” the 24-year-old Roby said. “It helped get me to where I am at today as a player. I owe a lot to that city and the organization.
