Keldon Johnson is entering a level of toughness that the Big Blue Nation will love about him. Prior to today’s game, Johnson was ruled out of action due to the ankle injury he suffered in Thursday’s quarterfinal game.

Johnson wasn’t expected to play in today’s semifinal game of the GEICO Nationals. However, after watching his team struggle in the first half, he decided to play in the third quarter.

Johnson can barely walk but it hasn’t stopped him from knocking down shots for his team. After knocking down the baseline jumper in the video below, you can see Johnson limping as he tries to get back on defense.
