Keldon Johnson wins Sixth Man

Johnson beat out Miami's Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Denver's Tim Hardaway Jr. to secure the prestigious award, becoming the second Spurs player to win a major end-of-season honor this year.

Despite his individual success, Johnson revealed he has been battling personal loss during the team's playoff run.

His transition to a bench role has been widely praised by coach Gregg Popovich as a key factor in the Spurs' improved depth.

The award reinforces Johnson's status as one of the league's most impactful and durable reserves.
