Jacob Toppin Injury News & Updates
Dec 8, 2025
Undergoes season-ending surgery
The Hawks announced that Toppin underwent season-ending shoulder surgery Monday.
ANALYSIS
The procedure was done to repair a torn labrum in Toppin's right shoulder. The third-year forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hawks this past summer, so it remains to be seen if Atlanta will be interested in retaining Toppin during free agency in the 2026 offseason.
Dec 6, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Toppin (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Saturday will be the sixth straight game on the inactive list for Toppin, and the Hawks haven't released any updates about his recovery, so he should be viewed as week-to-week moving forward. Toppin is not a consistent part of the Hawks' rotation, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire in all re-draft leagues.
Dec 4, 2025
Ruled out Friday
Toppin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Toppin will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right shoulder sprain. The forward has appeared in just five games for the Hawks this season, logging an average of 3.4 minutes played, so his absence will not significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.
Dec 2, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Toppin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin will miss his third consecutive contest due to a right shoulder sprain. He has appeared in just five games for the parent club this season, so the two-way player's absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in Atlanta's rotation.
Dec 1, 2025
Ruled out Monday
Toppin (shoulder) is out for Monday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
A right shoulder sprain is keeping Toppin from playing Monday. He's averaged 3.4 minutes per game over five appearances in Atlanta this year, so Toppin's absence shouldn't have a noticeable impact on the team's rotation.
Nov 30, 2025
Recalled, won't play Sunday
The Hawks recalled Toppin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. However, he won't play in Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a right shoulder sprain, per Rowland.
ANALYSIS
Toppin posted 18 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 23 minutes in College Park's 113-108 G League win over the Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday. However, he sustained a right shoulder injury in the win. His next opportunity to play for the parent club will come Monday against the Pistons.
Nov 25, 2025
Rare sighting Tuesday
Toppin closed Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards with two points (1-2 FG) across seven minutes.
ANALYSIS
Toppin logged a season-high seven minutes, cracking the rotation for just the fifth time this season. All five of his appearances have come during garbage time, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.
Nov 18, 2025
Back from G League
The Hawks recalled Toppin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player will join Atlanta ahead of Tuesday's game against the Pistons to provide some extra reinforcement in the frontcourt with Onyeka Okongwu (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Zaccharie Risacher (hip) all listed as questionable for the contest. Even if all three players sit out, Toppin isn't guaranteed to be included in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation.
Nov 5, 2025
Rejoins parent club
The Hawks recalled Toppin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Toppin will presumably take part in practice with the Hawks over the next couple of days, though it's unclear if he'll remain with the parent club for its next game Friday against the Raptors. The third-year forward is on a two-way deal with Atlanta and is likely to see the bulk of his playing time with College Park in 2025-26.
Oct 16, 2025
Retreating to bench
Toppin is coming off the bench for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin drew a rare start during Monday's exhibition with the Hawks electing to give the usual starting five a night off. The Kentucky product will slide back into a bench role Thursday with Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu and Kristaps Porzingis starting in the frontcourt.
Oct 13, 2025
Paces Atlanta in preseason win
Toppin tallied 26 points (9-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 42 minutes in Monday's 119-118 preseason win over the Heat in overtime.
ANALYSIS
With all of Atlanta's usual starters sidelined, Toppin got the starting nod Monday. The 25-year-old forward recorded a game-high mark in points and was one of four Atlanta players to rack up multiple blocks. The two-way player is likely to spend the majority of his time with the G League's College Park Skyhawks this season. He averaged 22.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 36.6 minutes per game in 23 G League outings between the Skyhawks and Westchester Knicks in 2024-25.
Oct 13, 2025
Starting Monday
Toppin will start Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With most of Atlanta's regulars resting, Toppin will start for the first time during the preseason. He'll be joined by Asa Newell, N'Faly Dante, Vit Krejci and Keaton Wallace.
Oct 6, 2025
Logs 12 minutes Monday
Toppin (hip) tallied four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and two assists across 12 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
After missing the Hawks' final two Summer League games due to a hip injury, Toppin returned to game action. The 25-year-old signed a two-way contract with the Hawks in July. He appeared in 23 G League outings between the College Park Skyhawks and Westchester Knicks in 2024-25, averaging 22.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.1 assists across 36.6 minutes per game. He'll likely spend most of the 2025-26 campaign with the Skyhawks.
Jul 20, 2025
Remaining out Sunday
Toppin (hip) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin will miss his second consecutive Summer League outing after sustaining a left hip injury in Monday's overtime win over the Rockets. Over three appearances this summer, the two-way player averaged 15.3 points and 7.3 rebounds across 22.9 minutes per game.
Jul 17, 2025
Won't play Thursday
Toppin (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin suffered a left hip injury during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets and didn't return. It's uncertain what his status will be for the rest of the Las Vegas Summer League.
Jul 14, 2025
Won't return Monday
Toppin (hip) will not return to Monday's Summer League game against the Rockets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin headed to the locker room late in the second quarter with what was initially labeled a groin injury. He returned to start the second half but has since been ruled out for the rest of the game with left hip aggravation. The wing recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT) in 15 minutes Monday. His next opportunity to play will be Thursday against the Grizzlies.
Jul 14, 2025
Returning Monday
Toppin (groin) will start the second half of Monday's Summer League game against the Rockets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin limped to the locker room near the end of the first half due to an apparent groin injury. However, he'll give it a go in the second half after recording 12 points, four rebounds, two assists and one steal in the first.
Jul 14, 2025
Exits to locker room Monday
Toppin exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent groin injury in the second quarter of Monday's Summer League game against Houston, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin limped to the locker room in the final minute of the first half after going for a loose ball. He can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update.
Jul 13, 2025
Chips in 15 points in SL win
Toppin racked up 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes in Sunday's 98-80 Summer League win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Toppin nearly recorded his second consecutive double-double, finishing as one of four Hawks players to score in double figures. Through two Summer League appearances, he has averaged 17.0 points and 9.0 rebounds while shooting 56.5 percent from the field in 27.0 minutes per game.
Jul 11, 2025
Double-doubles in win
Toppin racked 19 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Friday's Summer League 105-98 win against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Toppin got the job done on the glass Friday, as he ripped down a game-high 10 boards. Kobe Bufkin led the way in the scoring column with a game-high 29 points, while the two combined for 48 to lead Atlanta to its first win to get the Summer League underway in Las Vegas.
Jul 10, 2025
Re-ups two-way deal
Toppin signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hawks on Thursday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin finished out the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way deal with Atlanta, and he'll be back for 2025-26 on a fresh two-way contract. The Kentucky product spent the majority of his time in the G League with College Park, averaging 19.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals in eight appearances.
Apr 12, 2025
Good to go Sunday
Toppin (calf) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Toppin hasn't made an NBA appearance since Feb. 1 but will be available Sunday after missing time due to a calf injury. With many of Atlanta's regulars deemed questionable against Orlando, Toppin could receive increased playing time.
Apr 11, 2025
Out again Friday
Toppin (calf) will not play Friday against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin remains out with a left calf strain and hasn't seen the floor since an appearance in the G League back on March 28.
Apr 10, 2025
Remains out Thursday
Toppin (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Toppin remains out with a left calf strain, which has sidelined him since March 28 in the G League. He'll be with the Hawks for the remainder of the regular season, with just two games left on the schedule that he could potentially suit up for.
Apr 7, 2025
Out with calf strain
Toppin is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic with a left calf strain.
ANALYSIS
Toppin had been ruled out in four consecutive games previously, and his status won't change Tuesday. The two-way player has logged just 3.1 minutes per game over 16 appearances with Atlanta in 2024-25, so his absence won't have a noticeable impact on the rotation against Orlando.
Apr 6, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Toppin (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin continues to rehab a right calf injury that he sustained in late March while playing for the G League's College Park Skyhawks. He's yet to suit up for the Hawks this season and has only four more chances to do so.
Apr 4, 2025
Ruled out for Saturday
Toppin (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin has yet to suit up for the Hawks this season and is still rehabbing a right calf injury that he sustained in late March while playing for the G League's College Park Skyhawks. His next chance to feature will come Sunday against Utah.
Apr 2, 2025
Won't play Wednesday
Toppin (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin has yet to make an appearance for the Hawks this season. He is still rehabbing a calf issue he picked up in the G League.
Mar 31, 2025
Ruled out for Tuesday
Toppin has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right calf soreness.
ANALYSIS
Toppin is dealing with a right calf injury that he sustained in the G League, though his absence shouldn't cause any waves in the rotation, as has yet to suit up for the Hawks this season. His next chance to play for the parent club will come Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Mar 31, 2025
Transferred to NBA
The Hawks transferred Toppin (calf) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The two-way forward will rejoin the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against Portland, though his status is unclear, as he's seemingly still dealing with a right calf strain that he sustained in the G League. Toppin has received little playing time at the NBA level, though he finished the 2024-25 G League campaign with averages of 22.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per contest over 23 games between the Skyhawks and Westchester Knicks.
Mar 23, 2025
Out Sunday
Toppin (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The two-way forward has been sidelined since he missed Friday's G League loss to the Westchester Knicks due to a left forearm strain, and he'll miss the second half of the Hawks' back-to-back set due to left elbow inflammation. There's no clear timetable for Toppin's return, though his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against Houston.
Mar 23, 2025
Sits Saturday with elbow swelling
Toppin was inactive Saturday in the Hawks' 124-115 win over the Warriors due to left elbow inflammation.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player was previously held out of G League College Park Skyhawks' 130-125 overtime win over the Westchester Knicks on Friday due to the injury. Toppin has since rejoined the Hawks, but it's unclear if he'll be able for either end of the team's back-to-back set. The Hawks will host the 76ers again on Sunday, but even if Toppin is available for that contest, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation.
Mar 4, 2025
Signing with Atlanta
The Hawks intend to sign Toppin to a two-way deal Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin will latch on with the Hawks after he was waived by the Knicks on Sunday. The 24-year-old forward began the season under a two-way pact with New York, and he averaged 24.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 37.1 minutes per contest in 15 G League outings with the Westchester Knicks. Toppin could carve out a role in Atlanta's frontcourt, though he'll have to compete for playing time with Dominick Barlow, Georges Niang and Mouhamed Gueye.
Mar 2, 2025
Waived by New York
The Knicks waived Toppin on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Toppin signed a two-way contract with the club during the offseason, though the Knicks will let go of both him and Matt Ryan in order to explore other options for their two open two-way spots. The two-way forward saw the majority of his playing time with the G League's Westchester Knicks, and he averaged 24.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals across 37.1 minutes per game in 15 G League outings.
Dec 30, 2024
Rare appearance in win
Toppin racked up one rebound and two assists across two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Toppin saw court time for just the ninth time this season, logging two minutes during garbage time. To this point, all of his playing time has come in the final moments of games, indicating he is buried on the depth chart, to the point where he is spending more time cheering on his teammates than actually playing.
Oct 21, 2024
Not listed on injury report
Toppin (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Toppin missed back-to-back games to end the preseason schedule but will be available for the regular-season opener. With Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined to start the campaign, Toppin could carve out a decent reserve role behind Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby in New York's already depleted frontcourt.
Oct 18, 2024
DNP Friday
Toppin (ankle) did not play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Toppin's absence marks two straight to close out the Knicks' preseason due to a sprained ankle. New York does not tip its regular season off until Tuesday in Boston, so he will have a few more days to recover. He is competing for a depth role at forward with the club.
Oct 15, 2024
Doesn't play Tuesday
Toppin (ankle) didn't play in Tuesday's preseason 111-105 win over the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
While the Knicks have yet to provide an injury update on Toppin, he missed his second straight contest while dealing with a sprained ankle. His final chance to suit up this preseason is Friday's matchup with Washington.
Oct 13, 2024
Out with sprained ankle
Toppin won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained ankle, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin is on a two-way contract, competing for rotation minutes with the NBA club. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Hornets.
Aug 14, 2024
Lands two-way deal
Toppin signed a two-way contract with the Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Knicks extended a qualifying offer to Toppin in late June, and he'll officially remain with the team as a two-way player. Toppin appeared in nine regular-season games for the parent club last year and averaged just 1.4 points in 4.2 minutes per game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend plenty of time in the G League once again this year.
Jun 29, 2024
Knicks extend qualifying offer
The Knicks extended their two-way qualifying offer to Toppin on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin was a non-factor for the Knicks last season, during which he averaged 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds across 4.2 minutes in nine regular-season games. However, the 24-year-old averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks across 36.7 minutes per game with the team's G League affiliate. Toppin has shown promise, but he will likely not see a significant uptick in NBA playing time next season.
Mar 4, 2024
Inks two-way deal with Knicks
Toppin agreed to a two-way contract with New York on Monday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin's 10-day contract with the Knicks expired over the weekend, but he didn't last long on the open market. He figures to serve as frontcourt depth and should also see plenty of opportunities to stay sharp in the G League with the Westchester Knicks.
Mar 2, 2024
Deal with New York expires
Toppin became a free agent Saturday after his 10-day contract with the Knicks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin has been a member of the Knicks' roster all season, but he was recently moved off a two-way deal to a 10-day contract. The Knicks will have the option of retaining Toppin on a second 10-day pact, but it's unclear if they'll do so or if they'll look to use the open roster spot on another player. Toppin has appeared in just eight games at the NBA level this season, averaging 1.6 points and 0.9 rebounds in 4.6 minutes.
Feb 28, 2024
Recalled to NBA
New York recalled Toppin from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Toppin was sent to Westchester on Wednesday morning to presumably practice but has since returned to the NBA club. He's made just eight NBA appearances this season, averaging 4.6 minutes per game.
Feb 22, 2024
Inks 10-day deal
The Knicks signed Toppin to a 10-day contract Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
New York signed Toppin and DaQuan Jeffries to 10-day deals Thursday in order to reach the minimum roster spots required for a team. Toppin is averaging 2.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.6 minutes across his five NBA appearances so far in 2023-24.
Oct 21, 2023
Inks two-way deal
The Knicks converted Toppin's Exhibit 10 deal into a two-way contract Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin spent the preseason with New York and will now remain with the team for the rest of the season. He will split time between the Knicks and their G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, in 2023-24.
Oct 3, 2023
Ready for camp
Toppin is healthy for the start of New York's training camp, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Toppin dealt with an undisclosed injury which caused him to miss Summer League, but the 23-year-old now carries no injury designation. After going undrafted in June, Toppin signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks and is likely to spend 2023-24 season with New York's G League affiliate.
Jul 10, 2023
Agrees to Exhibit 10 deal
Toppin (undisclosed) will join the Knicks on an Exhibit 10 deal rather than a two-way contract in advance of training camp, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Toppin had been expected to join the Knicks for the Las Vegas Summer League, but an unspecified injury will keep him off the court throughout July. The undrafted rookie out of Kentucky should be back to full health for camp, but he won't be filling one of the Knicks' three two-way spots, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN had reported shortly after the draft concluded. The Knicks will still retain Toppin's rights through the Exhibit 10 deal, so he'll presumably join the organization's G League affiliate in Westchester if he fails to secure a 15-man roster spot coming out of training camp.
Jul 3, 2023
Won't participate in Summer League
Toppin won't participate in Summer League with the Knicks due to a "minor injury," Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The exact nature of Toppin's injury hasn't been disclosed, but it's hindering him enough to keep him off the team's Summer League roster. He signed a two-way contract with the Knicks in late June and will attempt to compete for a role with the team once he's back to full health.
