Jalen Johnson Injury News & Updates

Johnson totaled 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 victory over the Wizards.

Johnson was at it again, recording his second straight triple-double and fourth of the season. He now surpasses Doc Rivers for the most triple-doubles in a single season, a record that has stood since the 1987-88 season. Johnson continues to be the engine that powers the Hawks, averaging 23.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 three-pointers through his first 22 games, good enough for top-10 value in standard fantasy leagues.

Johnson supplied 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 134-133 loss to the Nuggets.

Johnson stuffed the stat sheet and became the first Hawks player in franchise history to record a triple-double in a single half, albeit in a losing effort. The rising star tied his career high in rebounds and set a new one in assists while also finishing as the team's third-leading scorer. Friday's contest marked his third triple-double in just 21 regular-season games, matching Doc Rivers (1987-88) for the most in a single season in franchise history. Additionally, Johnson has now scored at least 20 points in four straight games and 16 times on the campaign.

Johnson (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson had been labeled questionable for the contest due to right calf tightness, an issue that prevented him from playing in Atlanta's previous game, but he'll be available Friday night. Johnson is in the midst of the best season of his career, and he's averaging 23.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.6 steals across 34.9 minutes per game.

Johnson, who's officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to right calf tightness, was spotted getting shots up following the Hawks' morning shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Given the current state of calf injuries in the NBA, it wouldn't be surprising to see Atlanta exercise caution with its oft-injured forward, but Johnson appears to be trending in the right direction after missing Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, which was his third absence of the campaign. Over his last 11 appearances, Johnson has averaged 25.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.0 minutes per game.

Johnson (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The calf issue forced Johnson to the sidelines Wednesday, which resulted in Mouhamed Gueye getting a spot-start, and it'll be more of the same if Johnson is out again Friday night. Check back for another update closer to Friday's tip.

Johnson (calf) won't play Wednesday against the Clippers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson was a very late addition to the injury report with a questionable tag, only for the Hawks to rule him out for good a few minutes after. With Johnson sidelined, there could be more opportunities for Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci.

Johnson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers with right calf tightness.

Johnson was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign for availability. Johnson is averaging 38.2 minutes per game over his last five outings, so a maintenance day could be on the table if he's not 100 percent. Mouhamed Gueye, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci could be more involved for Atlanta if Johnson is held out.

Johnson racked up 29 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 99-98 defeat in Detroit.

This was the 20th career game for Johnson with 20-plus points, 10-plus rebounds and five-plus assists, which are the most such games by a player 23-years-or-younger in Hawks' franchise history. Johnson is hitting career-highs in points (23.2) and assists (7.3) this season, and he's showing no signs of slowing down.

Johnson posted 41 points (10-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 17-22 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and a block in 45 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 2OT win over the 76ers.

Johnson put together a dominant performance Sunday, racking up a career-high 41 points and adding a game-high 14 rebounds. In addition to his strong double-double, Johnson posted seven assists, extending his streak of games with at least seven dimes to 11, which marks the longest streak of any player this season. Johnson also set personal records with 17 free throws made and 22 attempted, beating out his former highs of eight and 12, respectively.

Johnson chipped in 29 points (9-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over the Cavaliers.

Johnson recorded his second triple-double of the season, and the star forward continues to thrive both as a scorer and playmaker. He bounced back from the seven-point, seven-rebound, seven-assist performance in the loss to Washington on Tuesday, and he also kept his streak alive of consecutive games with at least seven assists. That streak is up to 10 outings, the longest active streak in the NBA and the longest by a forward since LeBron James did something similar between January and February earlier this year.

Johnson produced seven points (3-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.

Johnson saw the court for the least amount of time since Nov. 12, which was due to the insurmountable lead the Wizards built up in the second half. He also did not shoot the ball well at all, recording his fifth game of the season without making a three-pointer. Johnson will look to bounce back offensively Friday against the Cavaliers.

Johnson finished with 28 points (11-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 win over the Hornets.

After finishing one assist shy of his second triple-double on the campaign in Saturday's win over the Pelicans, Johnson delivered another well-rounded performance Sunday. The 23-year-old forward led the Hawks in assists and has been impressive as a playmaker with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Johnson also posted a game-high-tying 28 points and has scored at least 24 in six of his last seven appearances. He has now recorded three straight double-doubles and continues to stuff the stat sheet for Atlanta.

Johnson closed Saturday's 115-98 win over New Orleans with 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 34 minutes.

Johnson didn't have his best shooting performance, but that won't matter much given the excellent job he did in other areas. The star forward ended just one assist away from a triple-double, but that has been a trend by now, as he's either reached that mark or has come close to it in his last seven outings, ending three actions or fewer shy of doing so each time. Johnson has been the best player for the Hawks this season and looks comfortable in an alpha role while Trae Young (knee) remains sidelined.

Johnson had 26 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 135-126 loss to the Spurs.

Another game, another instance of Johnson flirting with a triple-double while being a reliable fantasy option on both sides of the ball. The forward has been putting up solid numbers in 2025-26, and he's been one of the Hawks' go-to options when healthy and available. Over his last five games, the star forward has racked up 26.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game.

Johnson supplied 25 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds, three steals and one block across 39 minutes in Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Pistons.

Johnson didn't deliver his most efficient outing, though he still finished as Atlanta's leading scorer, matching the game-high mark in points. The 23-year-old forward has been Atlanta's top offensive option with Trae Young (knee) sidelined, posting at least 24 points in four consecutive contests. Johnson also led the Hawks in assists Tuesday, and he has dished out at least seven dimes in five straight games.

Johnson recorded 25 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and a steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 win over the Suns.

Johnson continued his run of stellar play Sunday, leading the team in rebounding while logging his third consecutive game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. The 23-year-old pro has been highly efficient this season, particularly over his last four games, where he is shooting 60.3 percent from the floor. Over that stretch, he is averaging 24.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 2.5 steals in 34.8 minutes per contest.

Johnson totaled 31 points (10-19 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 132-122 win over the Jazz.

Johnson set new career-highs in points, assists, rebounds and steals in this one, recorded his first triple-double of the season, and became the first player in the NBA this season to produce a seven-steal, 30-point, triple-double. He's been unconscious over the past two, pumping out gaudy averages of 27.5 points, 14.0 rebounds, 11.0 assists, 3.0 triples and 4.0 steals per contest.

Johnson notched 24 points (9-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 victory over the Kings.

Johnson led from the front, powering the Hawks to an impressive victory over the hapless Kings. After a slow start to the season, Atlanta has now won four of its past five games, with Johnson doing a lot of the heavy lifting, especially on the offensive end. With Trae Young (knee) sidelined, it has been all hands on deck, a welcome sight for fantasy managers with shares in Johnson.

Johnson notched 16 points (7-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 105-102 victory over the Clippers.

Johnson flirted with a triple-double Monday, finishing two assists shy while notching his third double-double of the season in a narrow victory. The Duke product entered the 2025-26 campaign with lofty expectations and has largely delivered, averaging 20.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.3 steals through nine games. The lone blemish has been his outside shooting, as Johnson has connected on just 21.7 percent of his threes and made multiple triples in a game only once this season, though that hasn't hindered his overall production.

Johnson (quad) will be available to play Monday against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Saturday, but he'll be back in action Monday evening, which will likely shift Mouhamed Gueye back to the second unit. Johnson shouldn't have any minutes restrictions Monday, but the Hawks do have a Wednesday-Thursday back-to-back set during Week 4, so he might only be available for three of Atlanta's four games.

Johnson (quad) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Johnson is in jeopardy of missing a second straight game due to a right quad contusion. If he is unable to go, Mouhamed Gueye figures to see an expanded role.

Johnson (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) and Luke Kennard (illness) will join Johnson on the sidelines Saturday night, so the majority of the playmaking responsibilities could be heaved upon Dyson Daniels. Mouhamed Gueye will have a chance to start with Johnson inactive, giving him some streaming appeal. Johnson's next chance to play will come Monday against the Clippers.

Johnson is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers due to a bruised right quadriceps.

This is a new injury for Johnson, who has appeared in all but one game this season and is averaging 20.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals. If he's forced to miss Saturday's game, more minutes and usage could be in store for Vit Krejci, Mouhamed Gueye and other frontcourt players, especially since Kristaps Porzingis (illness) has already been ruled out.

Johnson closed Friday's 109-97 loss to Toronto with 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 33 minutes.

Johnson led the way for the Hawks with 21 points, scoring at least 20 for the fifth time in the past six games. With Trae Young sidelined due to a knee injury, Johnson has been tasked with additional responsibility on the offensive end. While this has resulted in increased production, he also has 13 turnovers in the past three games. Johnson appeared to suffer a knock to his knee late in the fourth quarter. While he was able to close the game, it might be worth keeping an eye on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Johnson ended with 23 points (10-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers.

It was the second double-double of the year for Johnson, who scored at least 20 points in his fourth consecutive game. The star forward should remain Atlanta's top scoring option while Trae Young (knee) is injured. Johnson has averaged 21.2 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.5 steals per contest in six games this season, shooting an efficient 58.4 percent from the field.

Johnson supplied 22 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Friday's 128-108 win over the Pacers.

Johnson stuffed the stat sheet while leading all players in points, rebounds and assists. The 23-year-old forward also posted a season high in boards en route to his first double-double of the campaign. He has now scored 20-plus points in three consecutive games and in four of his five regular-season appearances thus far.

Johnson (ankle) will be available to play Wednesday against in Brooklyn.

Johnson was originally listed as probable, so there was never much doubt about his status for Wednesday night. Ensure he is active for a favorable matchup against the Nets.

Johnson (ankle) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury, but is trending in the right direction to play. He's coming off an impressive performance in Monday's game against the Bulls, finishing with 25 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 32 minutes.

Johnson chipped in 25 points (11-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 128-123 loss to the Bulls.

Johnson showed no ill effects of the ankle injury, so he should be fine for Wednesday's game against the Nets. With Johnson back in action, Mouhamed Gueye shifted back to the second unit and finished with four points (2-3 FG) and nothing else over 10 minutes.

Johnson (ankle) will be available to play Monday against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) will also be available for Monday's game, which should result in Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Onyeka Okongwu and Mouhamed Gueye returning to the second unit. With all these forwards back, Gueye could drop from the rotation entirely.

Johnson was in attendance for the Hawk's Monday morning shootaround ahead of their matchup against the Bulls, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson is currently questionable with an ankle injury, but his attendance with the team's activities prior to their game Monday night is an encouraging sign that he may suit up. Johnson missed Saturday's game against Oklahoma City due to this ankle injury, so if he can't go, expect Onyeka Okongwu, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell to see extended run against Chicago.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson could miss a second consecutive game due to a right ankle injury. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) also questionable, the Hawks could lean on Onyeka Okongwu, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell in the frontcourt.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Johnson is dealing with an ankle injury that will keep him out of a game for the first time during the 2025-26 campaign. The team will be shorthanded in the frontcourt, with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) also ruled out for this matchup. Onyeka Okongwu, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell will likely see more time on the floor.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Thunder, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson popped up on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup due to an ankle injury. The team could be very shorthanded in the frontcourt, as Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) has already been ruled out, and there's a chance Kristaps Porzingis (illness) misses a second straight game. In the event Johnson can't play, Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell will potentially see a boost in minutes.

Johnson posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a steal over 26 minutes in Friday's 111-107 win against Orlando.

While Johnson shot well again from the field, he was unable to replicate his production in the assists category and shot eight less free throw attempts than he did Wednesday against Toronto. Johnson has the chance to bounce back Saturday against the Thunder, who have kicked off the season with two straight double overtime games.

Johnson had 22 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 138-118 loss to Toronto.

The fifth-year forward tied Trae Young for the team scoring lead, but the Hawks' defense didn't seem ready for the regular season to begin, as the team allowed the Raptors to shoot 56.8 percent from the floor. Johnson played only 36 regular-season games in 2024-25 due to a torn labrum in his shoulder, but if he can stay healthy, triple-double teases could become a nightly occurrence.

Johnson (rest) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's season opener against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

After sitting out the preseason finale for rest purposes, Johnson will be good to go for the regular-season opener. The Duke product played in only 36 regular-season games during the 2024-25 due to a torn labrum, but was well on his way to a career year, averaging 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, shooting 50 percent from the floor and 31.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Johnson is out for rest purposes for Thursday's preseason finale against the Rockets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson (rest) is expected to suit up for Thursday's preseason finale against the Rockets, Caleb Johnson of 92.9 The Game reports.

The Hawks gave their starting lineup a reprieve in Monday's preseason game against the Heat, but each member of the first unit is set to go Thursday. Johnson will have one last opportunity to shake off any possible offseason rust in Atlanta's exhibition finale against Houston.

Johnson won't play during Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

The Hawks are resting their entire starting lineup Monday. Johnson's next chance to suit up will come during Thursday's preseason finale against the Rockets.

Johnson notched 20 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Saturday's 122-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Six Atlanta players, including four starters, scored in double digits in this win, but Johnson led the way with an impressive performance. The star forward is expected to play a huge role for the Hawks on offense, and this performance signals that he's trending in the right direction toward being ready for the start of the regular season on Oct. 22 against the Raptors.

Johnson logged 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 17 minutes of Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to Houston.

Johnson was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder back on Jan. 29 and went on to miss the rest of the 2024-25 regular season, and this was his first taste of live action since then. He's been a full go at training camp and has no restrictions to speak of, and he seemed to pick up right where he left off. Along with Trae Young, the Hawks are expected to run a ton of offense through Johnson this season.

Hawks general manager Onsi Saleh said Friday that Johnson (shoulder) is fully healthy and will be ready for training camp, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder back on Jan. 29 and went on to miss the rest of the 2024-25 regular season. Before the injury, he was in the midst of a breakout with averages of 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 blocks in 35.7 minutes per game. Even with the addition of Kristaps Porzingis, Johnson and Trae Young are expected to be the primary offensive weapons for the Hawks in 2025-26.

Johnson has suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the 2024-25 season, NBA reporter Chris Haynes announced Wednesday.

This is a brutal blow for Johnson and for Atlanta, as the forward was in the midst of a breakout campaign. He made a total of 36 regular-season appearances prior to this injury, racking up averages of 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, 1.6 steals and 1.2 three-pointers on 50.0 percent shooting from the field. With Johnson on the shelf for the rest of the campaign, the Hawks will need several players to step up. That could include guys like De'Andre Hunter, Zaccharie Risacher, Vit Krejci, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews.

The Hawks announced Saturday that Johnson (shoulder) will be listed as out as he undergoes further medical testing and evaluation and his injury status will be updated as appropriate.

Johnson left Thursday's contest due to a left shoulder injury and has already been ruled out against Toronto on Saturday. De'Andre Hunter (illness) and David Roddy will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. While there is no official timetable for Johnson's return, he will likely miss at least a few of Atlanta's upcoming outings.

Johnson (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game versus the Raptors.

Johnson will miss Saturday's contest due to a left shoulder injury he suffered against Toronto on Thursday. De'Andre Hunter and David Roddy are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

Johnson (shoulder) won't return to Thursday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Johnson ran to the locker room early in the second quarter after sustaining a left shoulder injury on a block attempt, and he'll finish the matchup with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 11 minutes. With the 23-year-old sidelined, De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Garrison Mathews could all see a bump in minutes the rest of the way.

Johnson exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left shoulder injury during the second quarter of Thursday's game against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Johnson grabbed at his shoulder and ran to the locker room following a block attempt on Scottie Barnes. Specifics on the extent of the injury are unclear, though if he's unable to return, De'Andre Hunter and Garrison Mathews are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Johnson (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will be available to play in Thursday's game against Toronto. The up-and-comer is solid performance in Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, finishing with 17 points, nine rebounds, four assists and a season-high six steals.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson continues to deal with right shoulder inflammation but is expected to play in his fourth straight outing Thursday. Johnson has played at least 35 minutes in each of his previous three appearances, so he is unlikely to operate on a minutes restriction if he's upgraded to available.

Johnson had 17 points (8-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Pistons.

Johnson had a rough shooting performance, but fantasy managers will gladly look past the efficiency issues given how he filled the stat sheet. He finished just one rebound away from recording his third straight double-double, and the six steals tied a season-high mark for him. Johnson is averaging 15.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game in four outings this month.

Johnson (shoulder) will play against the Pistons on Wednesday.

Trae Young (Achilles) also has the green light to suit up for Atlanta. Johnson continues to deal with right shoulder inflammation but he was able to play in Atlanta's previous two games. There's no word of any restrictions for Wednesday's game.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson continues to deal with right shoulder inflammation but has been cleared to play in each of Atlanta's last two contests. However, if the 22-year-old forward is forced to sit out against Detroit, David Roddy and De'Andre Hunter are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Johnson logged 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and a block in 35 minutes during Monday's 119-110 loss to the Knicks.

The fourth-year forward logged his second straight double-double in two games back from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for just over two weeks. Although his efficiency in both games has been less than desirable, it's certainly possible that Johnson's just shaking off the rust, especially as he was shooting over 50 percent from the field prior to going down at the beginning of the month. His next outing comes Wednesday against the Pistons.

Johnson (shoulder) will play Monday against the Knicks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson continues to manage soreness in his shoulder, but he was able to shake off another probable tag. With a back-to-back set coming up on Wednesday and Thursday, the Hawks could consider a maintenance day in the near future.

Johnson is probable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to right shoulder inflammation, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson has been dealing with a shoulder problem for quite some time, but the probable tag suggests he's going to play through it and should handle his regular workload. He tallied 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 119-115 overtime win over the Celtics.

Johnson (shoulder) tallied 14 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 38 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 119-115 overtime win over the Celtics.

Johnson had been held out of the Hawks' previous five games with an inflamed right shoulder, but he didn't seem to be operating under any restrictions in his return to action. He exceeded his season-long average of 36.4 minutes per game, and though he filled out the stat sheet nicely, poor efficiency from the field and free-throw line took a bigger night off the table. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable plugging Johnson back into their lineups ahead of the Hawks' four-game week, which begins with a matchup with the Knicks on Monday.

Johnson (shoulder) has been cleared to play for Saturday's game against the Celtics.

After missing the last five games with a shoulder issue, Johnson will return to the floor Saturday against Boston. The 22-year-old is having a career year with Atlanta, averaging career highs in points (19.8), rebounds (10.2), assists (5.3) and steals (1.5) per game, shooting 51.1 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Celtics.

Johnson has missed Atlanta's previous five contests due to right shoulder inflammation. Still, his designation being questionable instead of immediately out is a good sign that he is nearing a return to action.

Johnson (shoulder) won't play Wednesday against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will miss his fifth straight game Wednesday and it's unclear when he'll return. His next chance to play is Saturday against Boston. Vit Krejci will likely continue to see an uptick in minutes in the meantime.

Johnson will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to right shoulder inflammation. His next chance to feature will come in the second half of the club's back-to-back set Wednesday against the Bulls. With the 23-year-old sidelined, Vit Krejci and David Roddy are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Johnson (shoulder) remains out for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Right shoulder inflammation will cost Johnson a fourth straight game Saturday, and the star forward's next chance to play for the Hawks comes Tuesday against Phoenix. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) questionable against Houston, Vit Krejci and De'Andre Hunter could be needed for big minutes in Atlanta's rotation.

Johnson (shoulder) won't play Thursday at Phoenix, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will miss a third consecutive game due to an inflamed right shoulder. Vit Krejci has started Johnson's place and should continue to do so Thursday while Garrison Mathews and David Roddy could see more action off the bench. Johnson's next chance to play will come Saturday against Houston.

Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson has been working through inflammation in his right shoulder, which will force him to miss his second straight game.

Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will be sidelined for the second time in the Hawks' last three games due to right shoulder soreness. Garrison Mathews will likely enter the starting lineup Saturday, and De'Andre Hunter should see an increased role on offense due to Johnson's absence. Johnson's next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Jazz.

Johnson (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson has been dealing with shoulder soreness for the last few days, which has put his status in doubt for the second game of a back-to-back against the Clippers on Saturday. The rising star finished with 19 points and eight rebounds in the loss to the Lakers on Friday in Los Angeles.

Johnson (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Lakers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson didn't play in Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets due to right shoulder soreness. However, the fourth-year forward has progressed enough in his recovery to play in Friday's contest. In the 10 games prior to missing Wednesday's game, Johnson averaged 19.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.0 steals over 36.9 minutes per game.

Johnson (shoulder) was seen at shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Lakers, NBA journalist Jameelah Johnson reports.

Johnson is officially listed as questionable Friday after missing Atlanta's previous contest due to right shoulder soreness. However, Johnson's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability against Los Angeles.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson was held out of Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets due to right shoulder soreness, and he is now in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive outing. If the 23-year-old remains sidelined, De'Andre Hunter, Garrison Mathews and David Roddy are all candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson won't play Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, and his next chance to play for the Hawks arrives during Friday's clash with the Lakers. The sharpshooting De'Andre Hunter has started only two games this season, but he'll be a candidate to slide into Atlanta's first unit against the Nuggets.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

After putting on a defensive clinic against the Raptors with a season-high six steals, Johnson is dealing with shoulder soreness. If Johnson cannot play Wednesday against the Nuggets, the Hawks will likely turn to De'Andre Hunter to pick up the slack against Nikola Jokic and company in Denver.

Johnson produced 15 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and six steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 win over the Raptors.

Despite grabbing just four rebounds, Johnson was a highly active presence on the defensive end Sunday, recording six steals to match his career high that he set a year ago. The disruptive Johnson has logged at least one steal or one block in each of his last eight contests, and he's averaging a strong 20.1 points, 11.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 threes over this period. Giveaways have been an issue in nine-category fantasy leagues for the 23-year-old forward, who is averaging a career-high 3.0 turnovers during his fourth season, but the versatile Johnson has proven in 2024-25 that he can stuff the stat sheet for the Hawks on any given night.

Johnson ended Saturday's 120-110 victory over Miami with 28 points (13-20 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 35 minutes.

Johnson was absolutely dominant on both ends of the court, recording two or more tallies in all but one of the principal six categories while also recording his fourth straight double-double -- and eighth over his last nine contests. His growth has been outstanding, and he's firmly established as one of the best young forwards in the NBA. Johnson already has 18 double-doubles on the season.

Johnson finished Thursday's 141-133 win over the Bulls with 30 points (11-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

Johnson played a key role in the Hawks' 21-point comeback Thursday, during which Atlanta outscored Chicago, 50-25, in the fourth quarter. The fourth-year forward led the Hawks in both points and rebounds and in the process logged his 16th double-double of the regular season. Johnson has registered seven double-doubles over his last eight outings, and over that span he has averaged 19.1 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 11.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.8 steals over 37.6 minutes per game.

Johnson accumulated 22 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 overtime loss to the Spurs.

The fourth-year forward just missed his 15th double-double of the season, as he continues to take another step forward after a breakout 2023-24 campaign. Johnson has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 11 appearances, averaging 20.6 points, 9.9 boards, 5.6 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over that stretch while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Johnson (ankle) is available for Saturday's NBA Cup Semifinals game versus the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson has been upgraded from questionable to available despite dealing with a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 20.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in 36.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Johnson is listed as questionable for Saturday's NBA Cup Semifinals matchup with the Bucks due to a right ankle sprain, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson has been nursing a shoulder injury recently and appears to be past the issue. However, it looks like the power forward picked up a sprained ankle in Atlanta's 108-100 Quarterfinal victory over the Knicks. The big man produced 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes in the win. Look for more clarity on his status closer to game time Saturday.

Johnson notched 21 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 victory over New York.

Johnson returned to action for Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals game after missing Atlanta's previous outing with a shoulder injury. En route to victory, Johnson hauled in his 13th double-double of the season. The 24-year-old forward is proving to be one of the NBA's best rebounders, as his 10.2 boards per contest ranks 13th in the league.

Johnson (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

The Hawks will be close to full strength for this NBA Cup matchup against the Knicks, as Trae Young (Achilles), De'Andre Hunter (knee) and Bogdanovic (quadriceps) will all be available as well. Johnson has been one of the Hawks' most reliable offensive weapons all season long, and he figures to play a prominent role once again now that he'll return from a one-game absence. Johnson is averaging 20.9 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in his last 10 appearances.

Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson missed Sunday's win over Denver due to a right shoulder injury after initially being listed as questionable, and it doesn't look like he's made measured progress since then. Larry Nance got the start in Johnson's absence Sunday, while Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci saw increased roles off the bench.

Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will miss his second game of the season while he deals with a right shoulder injury that he presumably sustained during Friday's overtime win over the Lakers. With the 22-year-old forward sidelined, De'Andre Hunter and Zaccharie Risacher are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Johnson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is coming off a 12-point, 10-rebound effort in Friday's win over the Lakers, but it appears he may have injured his right shoulder in the process. De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic would see an uptick in playing time Sunday if Johnson is unable to play. Over his last nine outings, Johnson has averaged 20.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks over 36.0 minutes per game.

Johnson posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 134-132 overtime victory over the Lakers.

The double-double was the 12th of the season for Johnson in only 23 games, putting the fourth-year forward on pace to shatter his previous career high of 19. He's been locked in since missing a game Nov. 18 due to a minor lower-leg issue, and over nine contests since he's averaged 20.4 points, 10.0 boards, 5.8 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 55.8 percent from the floor and 42.5 percent (17-for-40) from beyond the arc.

Johnson ended with 23 points (10-19 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 119-104 win over the Bucks.

Johnson stepped his game up in a matchup where Trae Young wasn't at his best, and the star forward continued his breakout season with his fourth double-double across his last eight outings. Plus, it was also the sixth time he reached the 20-point mark in that span. During that eight-game stretch, Johnson is averaging 21.5 points, 10.0 points, 5.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

Johnson registered 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists and three blocks in 38 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 victory over the Hornets.

Johnson led the Hawks in scoring and turned in an efficient shooting performance, and he also flirted with a double-double due to his effort as a distributor. The Duke product has now reached the 20-point threshold in five straight appearances and continues to contribute in a big way across the board, averaging 23.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 blocks during this hot stretch.

Johnson posted 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-101 victory over the Cavaliers.

Johnson was one rebound and three assists shy of registering his third triple-double of his career, and he finished Friday's game as the Hawks' third-leading scorer behind De'Andre Hunter (23) and Trae Young (21). Johnson has scored at least 20 points in four straight games, and since and including Nov. 1 he has averaged 21.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks over 36.0 minutes per game.

Johnson contributed 22 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 135-124 win over the Cavaliers.

Johnson turned in a solid shooting performance and flirted with a double-double. He also posted his best passing game since Nov. 15 and recorded at least one block and one steal for a second straight appearance. The Duke product is now averaging 23.0 points and 10.2 rebounds over his last five games.

Johnson contributed 28 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Monday's 129-119 loss to the Mavericks.

Johnson seems to have taken over Trae Young as the No. 1 option on offense for the Hawks, and the numbers back that up. The star forward, who's emerging as a reliable double-double, stat-filling machine every time he steps on the court, has posted five double-doubles and a triple-double across his last six appearances. He's averaging 21.5 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest in that six-game stretch.

Johnson closed with 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt), 14 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-97 loss to Golden State.

Johnson returned from a one-game absence and notched his seventh double-double of the season, albeit while shooting poorly from the floor. Any player can have an off night from the floor, however, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about Johnson's efficiency, particularly in this matchup against an on-the-rise Warriors team. Johnson's role as one of the Hawks' go-to players on offense shouldn't be under any threat going forward, and he'll remain valuable in fantasy even amid an occasional off night due to his impressive two-way contributions.

Johnson (lower leg) will play in Wednesday's game against the Warriors. Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson missed Monday's contest with left lateral lower leg inflammation, but he's been given the green light to face Golden State. Johnson has started in all 14 appearances this season, averaging 19.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 2.4 combined steals-plus-blocks.

Johnson (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is dealing with left lateral lower leg inflammation, and he missed his first game of the season in Monday's win over the Kings. If the 22-year-old forward is unable to play, Garrison Mathews and De'Andre Hunter are candidates for an increased role.

Johnson (lower leg) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson was a late addition to the injury report and is dealing with left lateral lower leg inflammation. With the 22-year-old forward sidelined, Garrison Mathews, De'Andre Hunter and Larry Nance are candidates for an increased role Monday.

Johnson registered 25 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Johnson was extremely efficient Sunday and missed just four of his 14 shots en route to leading the Hawks in scoring despite the defeat. Trae Young remains the go-to player for Atlanta, but Johnson continues to thrive and is surpassing the numbers he posted in his career-best campaign in 2023-24. He's scored at least 20 points in six of his nine appearances in November, a span where he's averaging 20.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 6.1 assists per contest.

Johnson contributed 18 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and four blocks across 35 minutes during Friday's 129-117 victory over Washington.

Johnson turned in a decent shooting night and led the Hawks with four swats, his best mark in a game this season. He's consistently produced across the board over his last seven appearances, averaging 21.1 points, 10.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 blocks in 36.1 minutes.

Johnson recorded 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 victory over the Celtics.

Johnson shouldered a lot of the play-making responsibilities, tallying a season-high 10 assists. With Trae Young sidelined due to an Achilles issue, it was Johnson who stepped up, continuing his strong start to the season. Despite some off-shooting nights, he has been relatively consistent and at this point, we may just be scratching the surface when it comes to what he is capable of on a basketball court.

Johnson accumulated 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 122-121 loss to the Pistons.

Johnson reached the 20-point threshold for the fourth game in a row, and he also continued to add value from beyond the arc. The Duke product has nailed two or more triples in three straight, though this number will likely fall back down to earth considering he averaged 1.3 made triples across 56 regular-season appearances a season ago.

Johnson posted 23 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 121-116 victory over the Knicks.

Johnson was one of the main reasons why the Hawks pulled the upset against the Knicks, and he finished just three dimes away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the campaign. It seems the breakout season he had in 2023-24 was the real deal, as the star forward is putting up even better numbers throughout the first two weeks of the 2024-25 campaign. Through nine contests, Johnson is averaging career-high marks in points (18.9), rebounds (10.6), assists (5.3), steals (1.6) and blocks (0.9) per game.

Johnson ended Monday's 123-93 loss to the Celtics with 20 points (7-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Johnson didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective, but that won't matter much if he continues to deliver the same numbers he's been posting over the first two weeks of the regular season. Johnson could be in line for a sizable uptick in usage in case Trae Young (ribs) is forced to miss time, but even if that's not the case, his role as a primary offensive weapon in Atlanta is set in stone. Through eight contests, Johnson is averaging 18.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.

Johnson contributed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 win over the Pelicans.

Johnson has taken things off to a new level this season and is showing improvement on both ends of the court after his career-best season in 2023-24. The star forward has entrenched himself as one of the Hawks' primary scoring threats, even ahead of Trae Young at times, and the numbers back him up. Johnson has scored over 20 points in three of his last four games and is averaging 23.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game in that four-game stretch.

Johnson amassed 29 points (12-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Sunday's 126-111 victory over the Pelicans.

The 22-year-old led the Hawks in points, rebounds and blocks while dishing out the second-highest mark in assists behind Trae Young (12). Johnson has been able to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis, and his two-way abilities have made him a valuable option in fantasy formats. The fourth-year pro is averaging 18.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.9 steals-plus-blocks across 37.1 minutes per game through seven regular-season outings.

Johnson registered 21 points (9-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 17 rebounds, four assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Wizards.

Johnson was the second-leading scorer for the Hawks on Wednesday behind Trae Young (35) despite the former having an inefficient night from three-point range at at the charity stripe. However, the 2021 first-round pick made up for it on the glass as he grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds, six of which came on the offensive side of the floor. Johnson is averaging 16.8 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks through the first five games of the 2024-25 regular season.

Johnson contributed 29 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.

It took Johnson a couple of games to get things going, but the star forward delivered an impressive two-way effort Monday, leading the Hawks in scoring and finishing just three assists away from a triple-double. Johnson figures to be a big part of the Hawks' short- and long-term future, and he's expected to operate as Atlanta's second-best offensive option behind Trae Young in 2024-25.

Johnson supplied seven points (3-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder.

This was a dud by Johnson's standards, especially considering Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) were both sidelined. His counting stats have been fine, but Johnson has yet to find his rhythm. Through three games, he's shooting 29.7 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Johnson provided 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-8 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 victory over the Nets.

Johnson already established himself as one of the league's premier rebounders at the forward position during his breakout campaign in 2023-24, averaging 8.7 boards per contest. While his 72.8 free-throw percentage last year and poor start from the charity start on Opening Night are alarming, Johnson should continue to be a double-double threat every outing.

Johnson is in the starting lineup Wednesday versus Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson returns to the first unit after resting to end preseason. He is joined by De'Andre Hunter and Clint Capela in Atlanta's starting frontcourt Wednesday.

Johnson (rest) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

As expected, Johnson is ready for the regular season after resting during the Hawks' preseason finale. The youngster broke out last year, averaging 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0 stocks per game before injuries derailed his campaign.

Johnson (rest) signed a five-year, $150 million rookie contract extension with the Hawks on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Johnson saw his role expand during the 2023-24 regular season, during which he averaged 16.0 points on 51.1 percent shooting, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals over 33.7 minutes per game across 56 regular-season contests. The 2021 first-round pick is expected to be the Hawks' No. 2 option on offense behind Trae Young after Dejounte Murray was traded to the Pelicans in late June.

Johnson (rest) won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks are resting most of their projected starters and reserves on the second night of a back-to-back, meaning Johnson will sit out the final game of the preseason. The power forward will aim to get ready for the regular-season opener against Brooklyn next Wednesday, as he figures to play a huge role for the Hawks in 2024-25 as the team's second go-to player on offense behind Trae Young.

Johnson logged 21 points (8-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 17 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason loss to the Heat.

Johnson was Atlanta's leading scorer Wednesday and the second-leading scorer for the game behind Jimmy Butler (24). Johnson, the Hawks' first-round pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, took on an expanded role during the 2023-24 regular season, and across 56 games (52 starts) he averaged 16.0 points on 51.1 percent shooting, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks over 33.7 minutes per contest. Johnson is primed to take on a bigger role this season alongside Trae Young and No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher (rest) after Dejounte Murray was traded to the Pelicans in late June.

Johnson notched 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 preseason win over the Pacers.

Johnson led the Hawks in scoring in this tight win, and if this preseason contest can be of any indication ahead of the regular season, then Johnson might pick things up right where he left them off in what was a career year in 2023-24. Johnson averaged 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game in 56 regular-season appearances with the Hawks before a Grade 2 lateral ankle sprain ended his season prematurely, but he figures to play a prominent role on offense for Atlanta in 2024-25, probably as the team's second-best offensive option behind Trae Young.

Johnson (ankle) was spotted going through Wednesday's training camp session, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson missed the end of the 2023-24 campaign with a Grade 2 lateral ankle sprain. At Media Day, Johnson said he will be wearing some new shoes along with an ankle brace to provide more support and prevent future issues. He'll have plenty of hype in fantasy drafts after posting regular-season averages of 16.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers in 56 appearances.

The Hawks announced Thursday that Johnson has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 lateral ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.

Johnson exited Tuesday's game against Miami due to his ankle injury, and he's facing a multi-week absence following the results of his MRI. Whether Johnson will be back in action at any point during postseason play likely depends on whether the Hawks advance past the Play-In Tournament. In Johnson's absence, De'Andre Hunter (rest) and Wesley Matthews (hamstring) could see increased roles.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.

Johnson rolled his right ankle during the third quarter of Tuesday's loss to the Heat and will remain sidelined for the second half of Atlanta's back-to-back set. He has only two more chances to suit up during the regular season -- Friday in Minnesota and Sunday in Indiana -- before Atlanta faces a single-elimination matchup in the Play-In Tournament against Chicago next week.

Johnson is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Heat due to a sprained right ankle, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports. He will end the contest with 13 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes

Johnson rolled his ankle on a drive to the basket with 5:25 remaining in the third quarter and won't return Tuesday. His status for Wednesday's matchup with Charlotte is uncertain.

Johnson logged six points (3-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 109-95 loss to the Mavericks.

Johnson couldn't get it going in the scoring column Thursday, but his 16 rebounds tied a season high he set Jan. 10 against the 76ers. He briefly left in the second half after his knee collided with Daniel Gafford, but Johnson was able to return in the fourth quarter. Since the All-Star break, Johnson is averaging 17.2 points on 47.1 percent shooting, 9.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 33.6 minutes per game.

Johnson closed with 28 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 121-113 win over the Pistons.

In his second game back from an ankle injury that sidelined him for six contests, Johnson produced his first career triple-double to help the Hawks clinch a spot in the Play-In Tournament. The third-year forward has had a breakout campaign but has been on the court for only eight of 17 games since the beginning of March, so his minutes could be limited over the final couple weeks if Atlanta prioritizes keeping him healthy for the postseason.

Johnson is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will replace Vit Krejci in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his return to action Monday. Hunter is averaging 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.1 blocks in 33.9 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.

Johnson (ankle) tallied 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes Monday in the Hawks' 113-101 win over the Bulls.

The Hawks clearly put a playing-time restriction in place of Johnson in his return from a six-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, as he came off the bench and finished nearly nine minutes below his season-long average (33.8). It's unclear if he'll supplant De'Andre Hunter in the starting five as he becomes further removed from the ankle injury, but expect Johnson to at least see his minutes steadily increase in the games to come. Johnson is worth a pickup in leagues where he might have been dropped after he suffered the ankle sprain.

Johnson will run with the second unit in his return to action following a six-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson will come off the bench while DeAndre Hunter and Vit Krejic remain in the starting lineup Monday. Johnson is not facing a specified minute restriction, but his workload could be monitored.

Johnson (ankle) will play Monday against the Bulls, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Johnson will snap a six-game streak of absences due to a right ankle sprain but may face some limitations. The third-year forward is in the midst of a breakout campaign, averaging 16.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.0 minutes per game across 51 appearances (48 starts).

Johnson (ankle), who is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, was present for the Hawks' morning shootaround, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson has missed the last six games due to a right ankle sprain, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's matchup. If he's able to suit up against Chicago, it wouldn't be surprising to see him carry a minutes restriction.

Johnson is in jeopardy of missing a seventh straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Vit Krejci and De'Andre Hunter will likely continue to see extended minutes if Johnson is unable to suit up.

Johnson (ankle) won't play Saturday against the Bucks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson had an outside chance to return to action Saturday, but the Hawks will be cautious with him. As such, Johnson will miss a sixth straight contest. His next opportunity to play will come against the Bulls on Monday.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson has missed five straight games, but this is the first time he's drawn a questionable tag since spraining his right ankle two weeks ago. If he plays, the third-year forward may have some limitations, but he was playing well before his absence, averaging 17.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 34.8 minutes over his last 13 appearances.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is due for another evaluation soon, but the team hasn't released an official update since he was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain last Thursday. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Milwaukee, while De'Andre Hunter and Vit Krejci should continue to see increased playing time until Johnson returns.

The Hawks announced Thursday that Johnson has been diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in one week, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Suns and is facing a multi-game absence after being diagnosed with an ankle sprain. De'Andre Hunter is a candidate to see increased run while Johnson is sidelined.

Johnson (ankle) is out for Thursday's game versus the Suns, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will miss Thursday's contest due to a right ankle injury he suffered against the Lakers. While the 21-year-old forward believes he has avoided a serious injury, his next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Charlotte. De'Andre Hunter will likely receive increased playing time in Johnson's absence.

Johnson implied after exiting in the fourth quarter of Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers with a right ankle injury that he's feeling OK, though his status for Thursday's game in Phoenix is cloudy, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson, who was playing in his third game following a recent three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, rolled the same ankle with 6:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. He was able to walk off the court under his own power upon checking out of the game and later rejoined the Hawks on the bench after a brief trip to the locker room, though he didn't re-enter the contest with Atlanta facing a huge deficit. Johnson -- who finished Monday's game with 25 points (9-20 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes -- seemingly avoided a major setback with the ankle, but his availability for the Hawks' next game is still in question for now.

Johnson went to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury Monday against the Lakers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Johnson appeared to roll the same ankle that forced him to miss three games earlier in the month, and he immediately headed to the locker room to get checked out. Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network notes that Johnson was able to return to the bench area a short time after, though he didn't re-enter the contest with his team down big and only a few minutes remaining.

Johnson produced 26 points (8-23 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-122 loss to the Jazz.

Returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain, Johnson tied his season high in made three-pointers and looked fully healthy. The third-year forward had been averaging 16.5 points, 9.8 boards, 4.1 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.1 blocks in the 14 games prior to getting hurt against the Cavs on Mar. 6, and he could be gearing up for a big finish to his breakout campaign.

Johnson (ankle) is Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network for Friday's game in Utah.

Johnson is set to return from a three-game absence. He was sidelined due to a sprained right ankle, but it looks like his health is back up to par. Barring any setbacks, look for the Duke product to take on his usual role in the starting lineup at power forward.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Utah, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is at risk of missing his fourth consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain, which could leave Atlanta's frontcourt thin once again following Saddiq Bey's season-ending ACL tear Sunday. Vit Krejci has been called upon to step up, while Garrison Mathews has logged a 20-minute workload of late.

Johnson (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Trail Blazers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson's absence streak will extend to three games Wednesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right ankle sprain. Vit Krejci and De'Andre Hunter are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Utah.

Johnson (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The Hawks had previously been listing Johnson as out a day in advance of games, so the doubtful tag is a sign that he's trending in the right direction. If Johnson is held out as expected Wednesday, he could potentially return to action Friday versus the Jazz.

Johnson (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Pelicans.

Johnson will miss his second straight game Sunday, though he is considered day-to-day. That means fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Wednesday against Portland. Vit Krejci and De'Andre Hunter will likely see a bump in playing time Sunday as a result.

Johnson (ankle) is considered day-to-day with a right ankle sprain, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson injured his ankle in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. He accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and a block across 19 minutes before exiting. It sounds like his status for Friday's game is up in the air, but more clarity should come once he tests things out prior to the game. De'Andre Hunter, Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci are candidates to see more work if he misses time.

Johnson (right ankle sprain) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. He'll finish with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and a block across 19 minutes.

Johnson seemed to be in plenty of pain after suffering the injury, making his status worth monitoring ahead of the Hawks matchup against the Grizzlies on Friday. While Jonson is sidelined, expect De'Andre Hunter, Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci to soo more work.

Johnson went back to the locker room after sustaining what appeared to be an ankle injury during Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports.

Johnson was grabbing at his right ankle before exiting the contest and appeared to be in significant pain. While he's out, De'Andre Hunter, Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci are candidates to see more run. Johnson should be considered questionable to return.

Johnson posted 26 points (12-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-100 win over the Knicks.

Johnson has been one of the most productive players for the Hawks this season, and his numbers have experienced a remarkable uptick over the last few months, particularly when he took over the starting power forward role over Saddiq Bey. Johnson is averaging 16.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of February.

Johnson racked up 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two blocks over 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 loss to the Nets.

Johnson saw his double-double streak end Thursday, but that's not much of a surprise since the Hawks only mustered 97 points and looked badly outplayed by the Nets on both ends of the court. One bad game is not going to throw Johnson's impressive season into the trash, however, as the former first-round pick has progressed immensely over the last few months. Since the start of February, Johnson has been averaging 16.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. To put things into perspective, those three figures would be his career-best marks if sustained for an entire campaign.

Johnson racked up 22 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 124-97 win over Utah.

The third-year forward delivered his 17th double-double of the season and led the Hawks in scoring on a night when the team scored the first 12 points and never looked back. Johnson has a double-double in four straight contests and has scored in double digits in eight straight, averaging 17.3 points, 10.9 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.4 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.0 threes over the latter stretch while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

Johnson produced 21 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 109-92 victory over the Magic.

Johnson continues to rack up stats on a regular basis, and there's a strong argument to say he's been one of Atlanta's best players this season, especially considering the evolution of his role throughout the campaign. Johnson has six double-doubles across 10 appearances this month, a span in which he's averaging 16.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks per contest.

Johnson supplied 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to the Raptors.

The third-year forward recorded his second straight double-double and seventh in the last 11 games, picking up right where he left off prior to the All-Star break. Johnson is averaging 16.1 points, 10.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 threes over that stretch, and while he was already having a breakout campaign, he might be able to find another gear the rest of the way.

Johnson logged 19 points (9-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 122-99 loss to the Hornets.

Johnson has racked up three double-doubles over his last five games, and the former Duke star is having his breakout season in a starting role. Johnson is averaging 15.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks per game across 40 appearances (37 starts), and those marks are career-best figures across the board for the third-year veteran.

Johnson contributed 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 40 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over Houston.

Johnson crushed on both ends of the floor in the win, continuing his breakout season. Despite missing a chuck of the season due to a wrist injury, Johnson has quickly established himself as a key piece for the Hawks. In 33.9 minutes per game, he is putting up averages of 15.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks.

Johnson ended with 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Celtics.

The third-year forward delivered his fourth double-double in the last six games and his 12th of the season as he continues a breakout campaign. Over the last 10 contests, Johnson is averaging 17.8 points, 9.1 boards, 4.2 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks, and should the Hawks trade away a key piece with Dejounte Murray (back) at the deadline, his usage over the remainder of the season could increase further.

Johnson totaled 21 points (9-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists and one block over 43 minutes during Saturday's 141-134 overtime win over the Warriors.

Johnson contributed across the board while recording zero turnovers. His efficiency was mediocre in the context of facing an undersized Golden State squad, but he continues showcasing his versatility. Atlanta is 18-17 with Johnson in the lineup this season but 4-10 when he's inactive.

Johnson finished Friday's 129-120 victory over the Suns with 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.

Johnson is averaging 19.6 points on 52.1 percent shooting, including 38.1 percent shooting from deep, across his last five games. He has been extremely turnover-averse over that span as well, racking up a 21:3 AST:TO ratio. He profiles as a pillar of the future in Atlanta.

Johnson ended with 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 138-122 victory over the Lakers.

It was the second straight double-double and 10th of the season for the third-year forward. Johnson has scored in double digits in nine straight contests as he continues to put together a breakout campaign, averaging 17.1 points, 8.3 boards, 3.7 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.2 threes over that stretch.

Johnson closed with 25 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 148-143 loss to Dallas.

All five Atlanta starters scored in double digits, including 30 from Trae Young, and four different Hawks topped 20, but it was all for naught versus Luka Doncic's 73-point masterclass. Johnson has delivered 20 or more points five times in 13 January contests, continuing a breakout campaign that has seen the third-year forward average 16.6 points, 8.0 boards, 3.7 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.8 blocks on the month while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor.

Johnson closed with 21 points (8-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 134-112 loss to Golden State.

Johnson bounced back after a poor shooting night against the Kings, logging 36 minutes as a critical piece of Atlanta's offense. His regular contributions in almost every category are sorely needed during Trae Young's (concussion) absence, and although his scoring totals can vary, Wednesday marked his sixth consecutive game with a double-digit scoring total.

Johnson registered 11 points (4-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 122-107 loss to the Kings.

Johnson had problems with his shot in the loss, but he was an excellent contributor on the defensive end. Johnson matched a season high with 18 shot attempts, an increase that was likely due to the absence of Trae Young on the court. The team certainly needs more of those shots to fall, but his increased involvement as a fixture in the starting lineup indicates a strong interest in the Duke product's future development.

Johnson ended Friday's 109-108 win over Miami with 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes.

Johnson has done a good job since returning from a wrist injury that made him almost an entire month between Nov. 26 and Dec. 23, and he is firmly entrenched as the Hawks' starting power forward while delivering consistent numbers every time he steps on the hardwood. He has scored in double digits in all but one of his 12 contests since returning from the injury, putting up 15.8 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in that span.

Johnson accumulated 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and six steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 109-99 victory over the Spurs.

Johnson tallied a career-high six steals in the win, recording his eighth double-double of the season. Despite a couple of concerns regarding his role coming into the season, Johnson has been a revelation for the Hawks. He is putting up third-round value for the season, averaging 15.0 points per game, adding 8.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers. Anyone who snagged him late in their drafts has to be feeling good about themselves.

Johnson provided 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Friday's 126-108 loss to Indiana.

Johnson delivered a decent output on both ends of the court, and he continues to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis while taking over the starting power forward role. He returned to action eight games ago following a wrist injury and has looked very good, averaging 17.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Johnson supplied 25 points (8-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 139-132 overtime victory over Philadelphia.

The 16 boards were a season high for the third-year forward, and Johnson has scored in double digits in seven straight games since returning from a wrist injury. He's averaging 18.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.3 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.0 percent from the floor, and further injuries seem like the only thing that could derail Johnson's breakout campaign.

Johnson finished with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 40 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 117-110 overtime loss to the Magic.

Johnson has started in the six games he's played after missing nearly a month with a wrist injury, and he has posted solid numbers thanks to his ability to impact the game at both ends. Johnson has scored in double digits in each of those six outings while also recording three double-doubles. On the season, the former Duke standout is averaging 15.0 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in what has been a career-best year for him so far.

Johnson tallied 28 points (11-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four steals over 29 minutes in Wednesday's 141-138 win over the Thunder.

Johnson led Atlanta in scoring for the second straight game and had nearly one point per minute in Wednesday's win. He's provided a spark to the Hawks in his return from a 14-game absence due to a fractured wrist sustained Nov. 25. Johnson is averaging 19.5 points on 60.0 percent shooting, 11.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 steals over 32.4 minutes per game over his last four appearances.

Johnson chipped in 24 points (9-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists over 37 minutes during Sunday's 130-126 victory over the Wizards.

Johnson impressed offensively and on the glass en route to posting a double-double while finishing second on the team in boards and as one of three Hawks with 20 or more points in a season high scoring total. Johnson has recorded a double-double in five games this year, including in two straight outings. He has surpassed the 20-point mark three times this year.

Johnson had 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes in Friday's 117-110 loss to the Kings.

Johnson returned to action Dec. 26 after missing the last 14 games with a fractured wrist. His double-double Friday was his fourth of the season as he got back to 30-plus minutes of playing time. Johnson is averaging career highs with 13.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, and his production on the boards is second on the Hawks behind Clint Capela (10.2 rebounds per game).

Johnson (wrist) tallied 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes Tuesday in the Hawks' 118-113 loss to the Bulls.

Before he had missed the Hawks' last 14 games with a fractured wrist, Johnson had overtaken Saddiq Bey in the starting five, but Atlanta had room for both players on the top unit Tuesday with De'Andre Hunter (knee) recently undergoing a procedure that will keep him out for at least the next two weeks. Johnson could have some ability to take on more minutes than he handled in his return, but the fantasy line he delivered Tuesday was still plenty useful. The 22-year-old is now averaging 14.1 points (on 59.1 percent shooting from the field), 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 three-pointers, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.9 minutes per game over 15 appearances on the season, a level of production that makes him worth rostering in just about every format.

Johnson (wrist) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Chicago, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will return to Atlanta's lineup for the first time since suffering a fractured wrist Nov. 25. His acclimation to game speed will be worth monitoring, but De'Andre Hunter (knee) is amid a multi-week absence, so Johnson will likely ramp up into a sizable workload in short order.

Johnson (wrist), who's officially listed as questionable, participated in the Hawks' shootaround ahead of Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Monday that Johnson would return to action Tuesday following a 14-game absence, but a few hours later, the second-year forward appeared on the team's official injury report listed as questionable. All signs point toward a return soon, but Johnson's official availability likely won't be known until a few hours before Tuesday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff. With De'Andre Hunter (knee) expected to miss multiple weeks, Johnson's potential return comes at an ideal time for the Hawks.

Johnson (wrist) is listed as questionable to play Tuesday against Chicago, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Despite reports of Johnson's intent to return Tuesday, he'll still carry an injury designation into gameday, and Rowland referred to Tuesday as his potential return. The 22-year-old appears on track to play and a return is imminent in the short term, but his status will need to be monitored throughout the day Tuesday.

Johnson (wrist) will return to action in Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This will be Johnson's first game since Nov. 25, but it's a welcome sight for Atlanta. He was breaking out before the injury, averaging 14.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes across 15 games. His return is fortunate timing for the Hawks too, as DeAndre Hunter (knee) is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks. It's fair to expect some mild restrictions in Johnson's first game back.

The Hawks are optimistic that Johnson (wrist) will be able to return as soon as Tuesday against the Bulls, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Johnson, who has been out the last month due to a left distal radius fracture, is fast approaching a return. The third-year pro was cleared for full practice participation on Wednesday and is now targeting a return to action just six days later against the Bulls. In 15 games this season, Johnson has averaged 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.9 minutes per game, putting himself in the conversation for Most Improved Player.

The Hawks announced Wednesday that Johnson (wrist) has been cleared for full team practice, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Johnson has been sidelined since late November and remains out for Wednesday's game against Houston, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. He'll presumably work on ramping up now that he's been cleared for full practice, and it certainly seems possible that he'll return to game action in late December or early January.

The Hawks announced Sunday that Johnson underwent an X-ray on Saturday night and an MRI on Sunday morning and has been diagnosed with a left distal radius fracture. He will be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks.

Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Sunday morning that initial tests didn't show a fracture, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Johnson is averaging 14.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes per game through his first 15 appearances, firmly putting him in the Most Improved Player conversation. However, he's now slated to miss a significant chunk of the season. In Johnson's absence, Saddiq Bey is a candidate to reclaim the starting spot he held at the beginning of the campaign, while Bogdan Bogdanovic, Wesley Matthews and AJ Griffin should garner increased roles off the bench.

Johnson was diagnosed with a left wrist injury Sunday and is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

While Johnson is slated to miss a significant amount of time, this is considered a positive outcome, as initial tests showed no fracture. For now, Johnson won't need surgery and could return by the end of December. In the meantime, Saddiq Bey is a candidate to reclaim the starting spot he held at the beginning of the campaign, while AJ Griffin, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Wesley Matthews should garner increased roles off the bench. Johnson suffered the injury during Saturday's win over Washington, finishing the contest with eight points (3-4 FG), one rebound, one assist, two steals and a block in just eight minutes. The third-year forward was in the midst of a MIP-caliber campaign, averaging 14.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes per game.

Johnson suffered a left wrist injury during Saturday's game against the Wizards and wasn't able to return. He finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in eight minutes.

The severity of the injury is not yet known, so it remains to be seen if Johnson will be able to play Sunday against the Celtics. If he's not able to suit up, Saddiq Bey would likely see a bump in minutes for the Hawks.

Johnson had 18 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 126-116 loss to the 76ers.

Johnson seems to have settled as Atlanta's starting power forward and has notched three double-doubles over his last seven contests while scoring in double figures in all but once in that span. Johnson is averaging 15.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game when deployed in a starting role, which should continue when the Hawks take on the Pacers on Tuesday.

Johnson notched 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-114 loss to New York.

The third-year forward appears to be locking down a spot in the starting five for Atlanta. Johnson has started six straight games, during which he's averaging 16.0 points, 7.7 boards, 2.3 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.5 combined steals plus blocks while shooting 60.3 percent from the floor, and the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft appears well on his way to a breakout campaign.

Johnson supplied 19 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 120-119 victory over the Magic.

Johnson opened the year as a backup to Saddiq Bey, but he seems to be running away with the starting power forward role based on his recent performances. Johnson has started in each of Atlanta's last three games, scoring in double digits and grabbing at least nine boards each time. It wouldn't be surprising if he continues as a starter, a role in which he is averaging 15.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game through five outings.

Johnson racked up 13 points (6-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Thunder.

Johnson appears to a have a firm hold on the spot vacated by John Collins in the offseason, although Saddiq Bey is also competing for time at the four. Monday represented Johnson's third consecutive double-digit rebound result.

Johnson ended Saturday's 123-105 win over New Orleans with 21 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes.

Johnson returned to the starting lineup in place of Saddiq Bey, and even though it seems both players are competing for the starting power forward role, Johnson clearly jumped ahead of his teammate with his strong output. He's enjoying a solid start to the campaign, tying his season-best scoring mark here and notching double-digit points in all but one of his five appearances. He's also averaging 15.7 points per game when playing as a starter.

Johnson is in the starting lineup to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson is in line to make his third start in Atlanta's last four contests. He has been productive so far, scoring in double digits in all but one of his fiveappearances. He's averaging 13.2 points and 7.8 rebounds while logging 28.4 minutes per contest.

Johnson isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson will be replaced by Sadiq Bey in the starting lineup Wednesday. Johnson is averaging 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks in 29.5 minutes across his previous two bench appearances this season.

Johnson is starting Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson came off the bench in his first two appearances of the season and averaged 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 steals in 29.5 minutes per game. He'll have an opportunity to take on a starting role while Saddiq Bey retreats to the bench.

Johnson accumulated 21 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to the Hornets.

Johnson was efficient around the basket en route to a career-high scoring night. Forming a well-balanced offensive trio with Saddiq Bey and De'Andre Hunter, Johnson's sizable roll off the bat bodes well for his breakout upside.

Johnson's 2024-25 team option was picked up by Atlanta on Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson is expected to be an integral part of Atlanta's rotation for the upcoming season, so the franchise exercising his final year of team control next season comes as no surprise. The 21-year-old is a dark-horse breakout candidate despite averaging just 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.9 minutes per game last season.

Johnson won't start Friday's preseason finale against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson drew a few starts with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray resting, but Atlanta is rolling out its expected regular-season starters for Friday's preseason finale. Given the departure of John Collins, Johnson should have increased responsibilities this year, but the third-year forward is still expected to garner a modest bench role.

Johnson will start Monday's preseason game against the Pacers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson will make his third start of the preseason. The third-year forward is slated to have increased responsibilities after the departure of John Collins, but Johnson will likely have to settle for a reserve role to start the 2023-24 campaign.

Johnson posted 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 17 minutes in Thursday's 103-102 preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Johnson missed just one shot from the field and managed to contribute defensively as well, so he delivered a strong stat line across the board. Johnson is expected to open the season as the backup power forward behind Saddiq Bey, but he should see decent minutes off the bench on a regular basis. To note, he averaged 14.9 minutes per game in 2022-23, a figure he should surpass easily this season.

Johnson is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.

Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Saddiq Bey and Clint Capela round out the starting five. De'Andre Hunter is the notable absence in the first unit, and no injury has been reported thus far. Johnson is certainly a player to watch in Tuesday's preseason action.

Johnson closed with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal in 13 minutes during Friday's 130-122 victory over the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Johnson played just 13 minutes but was able to put together an encouraging performance. Despite his role shifting from one game to the next, Johnson has flashed enough to try and convince the coaching staff that he is ready to step into a larger role moving forward. Peeking into next season, he is definitely a name to watch should he shift up in the rotation.

Johnson provided six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals over 20 minutes during Friday's 136-131 overtime loss to Philadelphia.

Johnson made the most of his limited minutes once again Friday, continuing to press his claims for more playing time. He has stepped things up over the past week, and there is certainly a case to be made for him starting over De'Andre Hunter. While this does fell unlikely, it is something to monitor not only for the remainder of this season but also heading into the 2023-24 campaign.

Johnson tallied 16 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 win over the Wizards.

Though he came up empty in the defensive categories after a three-steal, one-block performance in Tuesday's win over the Bulls, Johnson scored exactly 16 points for the second night in a row. The second-year player appears to have firmly taken hold of a regular role on the second unit as the postseason approaches, and Johnson could see his minutes climb in the Hawks' remaining two regular-season contests if De'Andre Hunter (knee) continues to sit and if head coach Quin Snyder elects to rest starting power forward John Collins.

Johnson supplied a career-high 16 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 victory over the Bulls.

Johnson's performance joined five other Hawks with double-digit scoring, as Atlanta outperformed a typically stout Chicago defense despite Trae Young (illness) being out. Johnson could be on track for a slight uptick in playing time moving forward.

Johnson recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 19 minutes during Sunday's 132-130 overtime win over the Mavericks.

Johnson didn't turn in an eye-popping stat line, but he contributed in multiple categories and recorded his first block and steal since March 13 after missing time with a hamstring strain. He'll continue to serve as the primary backup at power forward and should see regular minutes down the stretch of the regular season as the Hawks prepare for the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.

Johnson (hamstring) recorded six points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes in Friday's 124-107 loss to the Nets.

Playing for the first time since March 13 after missing seven straight games with a left hamstring strain, Johnson was plugged back into the rotation as the main backup for starting power forward John Collins. At 38-39 on the season following Friday's loss, the Hawks are virtually locked into the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament at this stage, which could prompt head coach Quin Snyder to rest key starters or limit their minutes over the final week of the season. If that's the case, Johnson could see an expanded role over the Hawks' final five games.

Johnson (hamstring) is available Friday against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson missed the last seven games due to his hamstring issue, but he'll be back in action Friday after initially being listed as questionable. He's averaged 15.3 minutes per game over seven appearances in March, but it wouldn't be surprising to see his playing time monitored against Brooklyn.

Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson last played March 13 but could return Friday. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 4.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 14.9 minutes.

Johnson (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson hasn't played since March 13 due to a left hamstring strain. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Brooklyn.

Johnson will be re-evaluated in a week after he underwent an MRI on Monday and was diagnosed with a mild hamstring and groin strain, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson has missed the last two games due to injury and should be out for at least four more matchups after receiving his updated diagnosis Monday. AJ Griffin should continue to see increased run in Johnson's absence.

Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

As expected, Johnson will miss a second straight game due to left hamstring soreness. In his absence, AJ Griffin could see a few more minutes off the bench.

Johnson (hamstring) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Spurs, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Johnson is officially listed as questionable, but it appears he'll miss a second straight game due to left hamstring soreness. In his expected absence, Saddiq Bey and AJ Griffin are candidates for slightly increased roles.

Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson sat out Friday's win over the Warriors but could return following the one-game absence. Since the All-Star break, he's averaged 4.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 14.9 minutes.

Johnson (hamstring) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

Johnson took part in Friday's shootaround, but it appears his hamstring didn't fare well enough for him to rejoin the action during the evening. Instead, he'll turn toward Sunday in San Antonio for his next opportunity to take the floor. Saddiq Bey and AJ Griffin are among the candidates to take on some of Johnson's bench minutes.

Johnson (hamstring) participated in Friday's shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson is probable for Friday's matchup against Golden State, so it isn't very surprising to see him at the team's morning shootaround. As long as he feels good afterward, he'll likely be able to suit up for Friday's game.

Johnson is probable for Friday's game against the Warriors due to left hamstring tightness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson has had a limited role off the bench recently, averaging 4.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances. Despite his hamstring issue, it appears likely that he'll be able to suit up against Golden State.

Johnson finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 win over the Wizards.

The sophomore forward's role has fluctuated recently, and his role in the offense is relatively minimal. However, Johnson popped for 10 points in 19 minutes Wednesday -- his first time reaching double-digit points since Feb. 4. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much out of Johnson unless John Collins or Saddiq Bey suffer injuries.

Johnson registered six points (2-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 132-100 victory over Phoenix.

Johnson had played double-digit minutes just twice over his six games coming into Wednesday, but he saw a little extra opportunity with the Hawks cruising to a blowout win. The second-year forward made the most of his playing time, corralling a career-high 11 rebounds -- all on the defensive end -- in just 16 minutes. Johnson's effort on the boards Wednesday was certainly impressive, but he hasn't played 20 minutes in a game since Dec. 30 of last year, so he remains a non-factor in fantasy.

Johnson finished with three points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and six rebounds in 15 minutes during Monday's 111-100 loss to Chicago.

Johnson saw at least 15 minutes for the first time in over a week, ending with what was a disappointing performance. While he has shown flashes this season, Johnson has scored double-digits only six times, and currently sits well outside the top 150 in standard formats. His long-term prospects remain intriguing but as for now, he should not be on anyone's radar.

Johnson notched 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals across 15 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the Clippers.

Most of Johnson's 13 points came during Atlanta's late rally to get the lead back. Johnson was almost flawless in only 15 minutes of playing time, nailing all but one of his shot attempts. The return of De'Andre Hunter will continue to affect Johnson's playing time, but he will play a key role in the second unit moving forward.

Johnson (foot) will be available for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson should resume his duties as a significant frontcourt contributor for the Hawks off the bench. With Clint Capela (calf) out again, Johnson could see additional run again Wednesday.

Johnson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson notched eight points, nine rebounds and five assists in 21 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Indiana, but he appears to have suffered a foot injury as well. He's one of four Hawks players listed as questionable, so it's currently unclear what Atlanta's rotation will look like against Brooklyn.

Johnson notched eight points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 loss to Indiana.

Johnson scored most of his points from the charity stripe, and while he's not used to playing a significant role off the bench, this was a strong outing given how versatile he was after putting up at least five tallies in three different categories. Johnson should continue playing a minor role off the bench, so it's hard to trust him in most fantasy formats going forward.

Johnson produced two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound across three minutes during Friday's 130-105 win over the Pistons.

Johnson seems to be almost completely out of the rotation at this point, now that John Collins has returned to the lineup (ankle). His three minutes of playing time Friday night marked a new season-low for the young backup.

Johnson will come off the bench Friday against the Hornets, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

Johnson has started six of the past seven games, but coach Nate McMillan will bring him and AJ Griffin off the bench while starting Trent Forrest and Bogdan Bogdanovic. It's possible the reserve role comes with reduced minutes.

Johnson amassed nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one assist and four blocks in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 135-124 loss to the Magic.

The second-year forward hadn't had more than two rejections in any game in his career, but with Clint Capela (calf) checking out of Wednesday's contest early, Johnson took on rim protection duties for the Hawks. The 20-year-old is averaging 7.0 points, 6.0 boards, 2.1 assists and 0.9 blocks in 24.6 minutes a night over seven December games, primarily as the starting power forward while John Collins (ankle) is sidelined, and the added responsibility may be spurring the development of the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Johnson registered 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 128-103 loss to the Grizzlies.

Johnson did most of his damage in the first half, shooting 3-for-6 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown while securing five boards, three assists and one steal. However, he's reached double figures in only three of 23 contests so far this season, so this type of production can't be counted on by fantasy managers. Johnson's minutes should take a big hit once John Collins (ankle) and Clint Capela (Achilles) return.

Johnson is starting Monday's game against Memphis, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Johnson started four straight contests for the Hawks to start December before moving back to the bench for Sunday's matchup, but he'll get another shot with the starters due to the absence of Clint Capela (Achilles), John Collins (ankle) and Trae Young (back). Johnson is averaging 6.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists over his last four starts.

Johnson finished Sunday's 123-122 overtime win over the Bulls with one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes.

With De'Andre Hunter (hip) returning to action Sunday, Johnson's four-game run in the starting five came to an end. He wasn't especially productive over that stretch, averaging 6.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.5 blocks in 27.3 minutes while shooting 40.7 percent from the field. Johnson saw a steep drop in playing time with the move to the bench, eliminating any short-term value he may have had in 12- or 14-team category leagues.

Johnson ended with two points (1-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Friday's 120-116 loss to Brooklyn.

Johnson has benefitted from the absence of John Collins (knee) which thrust him into the starting lineup for four straight contests. However, he has failed to capitalize on the opportunity averaging 6.25 points and 7.25 rebounds in 27.25 minutes per game across the stretch. For as long as the Hawks remain thin on the wing, Johnson will be a solid streaming option.

Johnson totaled 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block across 33 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over the Nuggets.

Johnson started for the first time this season and was impressive, recording his first double-double while recording season-best marks in both rebounds and assists. Johnson got the start due to the absences of De'Andre Hunter (hip) and Justin Holiday (COVID-19), and he should be a decent streaming option in most fantasy formats as long as he remains in the lineup, even if he's not expected to hold a sizable role on offense.

Johnson will start Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.

Johnson will draw the starting nod with John Collins (ankle and Justin Holiday (COVID-19) absent for the contest. He will be a solid streaming option for as long as he remains in the starting five.

Johnson (ankle) will play Friday against Denver, Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks reports.

Johnson missed two games due to ankle soreness but will return to action Friday. With John Collins (ankle) and Justin Holiday (COVID-19) out Johnson should see significant run Friday.

Johnson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Johnson has missed the last two games due to his ankle injury, but it's somewhat encouraging that he's listed as questionable for Friday's matchup since he was deemed doubtful for Wednesday's game before being ruled out. If the 20-year-old is available, he's a candidate to see an uptick in playing time since John Collins (ankle) and Justin Holiday (COVID-19 protocols) have been ruled out.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.

Johnson was considered doubtful ahead of Wednesday's matchup, so it's not very surprising that he'll be unavailable. His next chance to take the court will be Friday against the Nuggets.

Johnson (ankle) is doubtful to play in Wednesday's game against the Magic, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson will likely miss his second straight game due to right ankle soreness. Johnson's next opportunity to play will be Friday's matchup with Denver.

Johnson (ankle) is out for Monday's contest against Philadelphia.

The Duke product will officially miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury. Johnson's next chance to return to Atlanta's lineup comes Wednesday in Orlando.

Johnson is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt against the 76ers due to right ankle soreness, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.

Monday's contest marks the second half of a back-to-back for Atlanta, which means Johnson may be in line to receive a night off after playing 11 minutes Sunday and tweaking his ankle. If he were to sit out, Justin Holiday and Frank Kaminsky would likely receive Johnson's leftover minutes

Johnson racked up eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 14 minutes during Monday's 114-102 loss to the Cavaliers.

Johnson knocked down two shots from beyond the arc for the first time this season, and he turned in a nice shooting night with limited chances. The Duke product has finished in double figures only once through 17 contests this season, and his lack of regular minutes makes him a tough player to roster in most league formats.

Johnson (hamstring) will suit up for Thursday's affair with the 76ers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports

Johnson was slated as likely to play after being downgraded to questionable during the day Thursday and he has been confirmed to be active against the 76ers. Johnson has etched out a significant role for the Hawks this season, averaging 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 0.6 steals across 14.9 minutes per game in 11 appearances.

Hawks coach Nate McMillan said Johnson "should be ready to go" ahead of Thursday's game versus the 76ers, Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks reports.

After originally being listed as questionable due to right hamstring tightness, Johnson is on track to play against Philadelphia. Johnson is averaging 14.9 minutes per game this season.

Johnson is questionable to play in Thursday's game versus the 76ers due to right hamstring tightness, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson has yet to miss a game so far this season but is questionable Thursday. The second-year forward is averaging 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.6 steals in 14.9 minutes across 11 games this season. If Johnsons is unable to play against Philadelphia, his next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the 76ers.

Johnson supplied 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 15 minutes during Saturday's 124-121 overtime victory over New Orleans.

Johnson had been held to seven or fewer points in each of his first eight contests heading into Saturday, but he set a new season-high in scoring in an efficient manner. The Duke product is averaging just under 14 minutes per contest, however, so unless he's able to carve out a more prominent role in Atlanta's rotation, his opportunities figure to be limited moving forward.

Johnson logged five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3PT) and three rebounds in 12 minutes during Wednesday's 118-113 win over the Pistons.

Johnson's stat line nearly mirrors his season averages through the first four games. Johnson has not scored over five points, or recorded an assist, steal or block this season, so there is currently not much value in him for fantasy managers.

Johnson logged 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans.

Johnson had been limited earlier in the preseason due to an illness, which likely explains his heavy workload in Atlanta's final exhibition. The young forward looked sharp, knocking down a pair of triples while crashing the glass. Johnson figures to slot into a bench role behind John Collins and Justin Holiday when the regular season gets underway Wednesday against Houston.

Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said Tuesday that Johnson will "absolutely" get some playing time during Wednesday's exhibition game against the Cavaliers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson has been limited due to an illness he picked up at the end of September, but he'll get back in the mix Wednesday. The 6-foot-8 forward saw a minimal role with Atlanta as a rookie, but he's primed for an increased role in Year 2.

The Hawks exercised the third-year team option on Johnson's (illness) rookie contract Tuesday, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson was the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, but he failed to make much of an impression as a rookie. Nonetheless, the Hawks like his potential and now have him under contract through the 2023-24 campaign. The 6-foot-8 forward is expected to have larger role in Year 2, but he'll still be playing behind the likes of De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic (kneecap).

Johnson didn't practice Friday due to an illness and won't be able to travel with the team to Abu Dhabi for the Hawks' preseason opener, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Trent Forrest also missed practice due to an illness, but per Rowland, both players could eventually meet the team overseas if they clear their aliments before the preseason matchup against the Bucks on Oct. 6 in Abu Dhabi. Johnson appeared in 22 games as a rookie and posted 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.5 minutes, but he's been rumored to be a bigger piece of Atlanta's rotation during the 2022-23 campaign.

Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Friday that Johnson (knee) is "full go" for training camp, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson underwent a non-surgical procedure on his left knee to address tendinitis in June, and as expected, he'll be good to go heading into the regular season. As a rookie, the 2021 first-round pick didn't get consistent playing time, appearing in only 22 games while averaging 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest. However, head coach Nate McMillan suggested that Johnson could be a bigger part of Atlanta's rotation during the 2022-23 campaign. "Jalen will get minutes this year," McMillan said at a press conference Friday.

As a rookie, the 2021 first-round pick didn't get consistent playing time, appearing in only 22 games while averaging 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest. However, head coach Nate McMillan suggested that Johnson could be a bigger part of Atlanta's rotation in 2022. "Jalen will get minutes this year," McMillan said at a press conference Friday.

The Hawks announced Tuesday that Johnson recently underwent a non-surgical procedure on his left knee to address tendinitis.

Johnson is expected to rehabilitate his knee for most of the offseason, but Atlanta is planning on him being ready to go for the start of training camp. The 2021 first-round pick wasn't a regular part of the Hawks' rotation as a rookie, appearing in only 22 games while averaging 2.4 points and 1.2 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per contest.

Johnson (concussion) logged six minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 118-108 loss to the Raptors, finishing with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and no other statistics.

Back in action after a three-game absence, Johnson was part of head coach Nate McMillan's rotation, but he saw the fewest minutes among the 10 Hawks that picked up playing time. If Danilo Gallinari (knee) is back in action for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Johnson will likely be the odd man out of the rotation.

Johnson (concussion) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson missed three straight games due a concussion, but it appears he'll be available Tuesday. The rookie could garner an increased role if Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and/or Danilo Gallinari (knee) is ruled out.

Johnson (concussion) is out Saturday against the Nets, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Johnson will be out a third straight game due to a concussion. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Raptors.

Johnson (concussion) is out Thursday against the Cavaliers.

Johnson will sit out a second straight game due to a concussion. The Hawks could be even more shorthanded since Danilo Gallinari (elbow) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) are questionable.

Johnson (concussion) won't play Wednesday against the Thunder after being placed in the league's concussion protocol, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson contributed 12 points across 17 minutes of action during Monday's win over the Pacers, but he won't be available Wednesday after landing in the NBA's concussion protocol. With Danilo Gallinari (elbow) also ruled out against the Thunder, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Kevin Knox could see increased run.

Johnson (concussion) is a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson has appeared in two of the Hawks' last three games and has totaled 23 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 42 minutes during those contests. If available, the rookie could garner an increased role once again, as Danilo Gallinari (elbow) has already been ruled out and De'Andre Hunter (knee) is in jeopardy of missing a second straight game.

Johnson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to concussion evaluation, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Johnson will presumably only see significant minutes if available if Danilo Gallinari (elbow) and/or De'Andre Hunter (knee) are ruled out. More information may arrive following pregame activities.

Johnson was recalled to the Hawks on Friday, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reprots.

Johnson has appeared in 16 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.1 rebounds in 4.3 minutes per game. The rookie figures to provide added frontcourt depth while Atlanta deals with injuries to John Collins (finger/foot) and Danilo Gallinari (biceps).

Johnson was assigned to the G League by the Hawks on Friday, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since Feb. 26 and will make his way back to the G League. He's averaged 17.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 blocks with the College Park Skyhawks this season.

The Hawks recalled Johnson (lower body) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday.

Johnson's missed the Skyhawks' most recent game Thursday due to a lower-body injury, but he doesn't appear on Atlanta's injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Boston. The rookie's absence from the report implies that he'll be good to go for the contest, and he could even find himself in head coach Nate McMillan's rotation with starting power forward John Collins (foot) ruled out through the All-Star break.

The Hawks recalled Johnson from the G League's College Park Skyhawks.

Johnson will be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings after a brief stint in the G League. He most recently played 32 minutes for the Skyhawks in Tuesday's 105-102 win over the Long Island Nets, finishing with 18 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal.

The Hawks assigned Johnson to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.

Johnson appears to be healthy after recently missing time with a left ankle sprain, but he has yet to leave the Atlanta bench in the NBA team's two games since he was removed from the injury report. The rookie first-round pick should get the chance to play extended minutes for College Park on Friday when the Skyhawks host the G League Ignite.

Johnson (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Milwaukee.

Johnson didn't appear in Saturday's loss to the Knicks while dealing with an ankle injury. While he should be able to suit up Monday, his availability shouldn't impact Atlanta's rotation.

Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Knicks, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson's status will depend on how he is feeling closer to game-time. Either way, he is a fringe-rotational player depending on the team's health, so he is not expected to have much of an impact if he gets the green light.

Johnson (ankle) is out Friday against the Heat, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Johnson isn't a regular part of the rotation, so his absence shouldn't affect things.

Johnson (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's contest against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson was initially listed as doubtful due to a left ankle sprain, but he's trending in the right direction. However, regardless of his status, he's unlikely to impact Atlanta's rotation.

Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Johnson was recalled from the G League on Wednesday, but he won't be available for the Hawks due to a left ankle sprain. His absence shouldn't impact Atlanta's rotations as he's made just one appearance (two minutes) in the NBA since Christmas Day.

Atlanta recalled Johnson from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson scored nine points in nine minutes for the Skyhawks on Tuesday. The rookie is averaging 4.7 minutes per game across 11 NBA appearances this season.

Hawks acting head coach Chris Jent said Johnson (calf) will be available for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Jent mentioned Johnson as a potential option to fill backup minutes at center Sunday with Clint Capela (knee) having been ruled out for the contest. Johnson will be dressing for the first time since Dec. 25, after a stint in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols in addition to the minor calf issue kept him out of action.

Johnson is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right calf tension, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson isn't a regular part of the rotation. His availability shouldn't affect things.

Johnson (COVID protocols) has been cleared to play in Friday's matchup against the Clippers, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

Johnson cleared protocols along with Trae Young, John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Cam Reddish. With all that talent returning, he is unlikely to see much playing time.

Assistant coach Joe Prunty said Johnson (conditioning) went through shootaround, but he is still considered a game-time decision ahead of Friday's contest against the Lakers, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Johnson is officially listed as questionable, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. The 20-year-old has only played double-digit minutes two times during his rookie campaign, so he isn't expected to garner a sizable role during his potential return from a five-game absence.

Johnson (conditioning) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Lakers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Johnson has been cleared of health and safety protocols and could return Friday after missing the previous five games. The 20-year-old has had limited opportunities in his rookie season playing just 10 games and 5.0 minutes per game.

Johnson entered the league's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Johnson is the second Hawks player to be placed in the league's health and safety protocols Sunday morning and is the 10th player overall. John Collins was also placed into protocols, leaving the Hawks severely undermanned at the power forward position. Don't be surprised if the team signs another player via a hardship deal ahead of Monday's meeting with the Bulls.

The Hawks recalled Johnson from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Sunday.

Johnson posted a near triple-double during Thursday's G League win over Long Island and is now averaging 18.1 points and 11.1 rebounds for College Park this season. Despite the strong play for the Skyhawks, the rookie first-round pick hasn't been able to crack Atlanta's rotation this season.

The Hawks recalled Johnson from College Park to Atlanta on Sunday.

Johnson will be joined in Atlanta by two-way player Sharife Cooper. The Skyhawks don't play again until Thursday, so the pair will likely stay with the Hawks for their back-to-back starting Sunday. Both may have opportunities to crack Nate McMillan's lineup this week as the Hawks are dealing with a litany of injuries to top players.

Atlanta assigned Johnson to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

The rookie first-round pick hasn't been able to parlay a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League into a regular spot in head coach Nate McMillan's rotation, but that may be more of a reflection of the Hawks' ample forward depth than anything. Johnson will get an opportunity to pick up some extended run in the G League, but he should be back with the NBA team as soon as injuries begin testing Atlanta's depth.

Johnson (ankle) is available for Thursday's season opener against the Mavericks, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The rookie will be available to make his debut. However, he struggled in preseason and isn't expected to be a regular part of the rotation given how deep the Hawks are on the wing.

Johnson is probable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks due to right ankle soreness.

Johnson struggled in the preseason, with the rookie shooting just 23.5 percent from the field in four games. The ankle injury shouldn't keep him out Thursday, but he might not be a regular part of the rotation given the Hawks' other options on the wing. He has much more fantasy value in dynasty/keeper leagues than redraft leagues.

In four preseason games, Johnson averaged 2.8 points on 23.5 percent shooting, 2.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 14.5 minutes.

The No. 20 overall pick in this summer's draft, Johnson couldn't find his rhythm in preseason. He was much better in Summer League, where he averaged 19.0 points on 57.4 percent shooting, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 28.3 minutes. Johnson may be too talented for the G League, but he'll also have a very difficult time cracking the Hawks' deep rotation.

Johnson (ankle) went through a full practice Thursday, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Johnson tweaked his ankle earlier in the week, but it doesn't look to be anything of concern, as coach Nate McMillan said the rookie first-round pick looked good at Thursday's session. Johnson had an impressive showing at Summer League in August, but he may have trouble carving out a consistent role on a Hawks roster that's one of the deepest in the Eastern Conference.

Johnson was named to the 2021 All-Summer League First Team on Wednesday.

The 20th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft was an easy choice for the First Team after he averaged 19.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks through four appearances. Johnson shot 57.4 percent from the field overall and knocked down 5-of-12 attempts from beyond the arc. The 19-year-old enters the league with plenty of promise, but he may be brought along slowly as part of a deep Hawks roster that already features several established wing/frontcourt pieces in De'Andre Hunter, Kevin Huerter, Cam Reddish and John Collins.
