Vít Krejcí Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Hawks vs Hornets game on Thursday with our National Basketball Association injury report.Dec 6, 2025
Lands four triples in win
Krejci supplied 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Krejci scored an efficient 14 points, hitting at least four three-pointers for the second straight game. His playing time and subsequent value are almost completely reliant on his shooting splits, making him a hard player to trust outside of streaming situations. Through 21 games, he is averaging 10.1 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per contest.
Dec 2, 2025
Lean run continues
Krejci notched three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 99-98 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Krejci scored no more than five points for the third time in the past five games, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of offensive production. It appears that his playing time and associated fantasy value are almost entirely reliant on his shooting. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 8.5 points and 2.3 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes per contest. He should be viewed as nothing more than a three-point streaming option.
Nov 25, 2025
Modest production in loss
Krejci supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Krejci scored double digits for just the second time in the past five games, albeit barely. Outside of some offensive explosions, Krejci has been mostly a non-factor thus far this season. Through 15 games, he has averaged just 10.5 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top 150 in standard leagues.
Nov 20, 2025
Shifting to bench
Krejci will come off the bench Thursday night against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci drew a spot start Tuesday given the absence of Zaccharie Risacher, but he'll retreat to a bench role now that Atlanta's starting five has returned to health. Krejci has cooled off some lately but has really had his shot working at times over his last five appearances off the bench, averaging 16.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.8 minutes.
Nov 19, 2025
Comes up short in start
Krejci produced nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Krejci moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, replacing Zaccharie Risacher, who was ruled out due to a hip injury. While he did manage to log a season-high 36 minutes, it would appear as though his hot shooting has come to a temporary end. He has now scored 16 points in total over his past two games, going 6-for-16 from the floor.
Nov 18, 2025
Starting sans Risacher
Krejci will start Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
With Zaccharie Risacher (hip) sidelined, Krejci will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five appearances, the 25-year-old has averaged 16.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.
Nov 14, 2025
Drills six triples in win
Krejci finished Thursday's 132-122 win over the Jazz with 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Krejci couldn't miss early, as he dropped in a quick 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 3Pt) in his first 11 minutes of play. He's been in a nice groove over the past four games with averages of 19.0 points on 63.4 percent shooting to go with 2.5 assists and 4.8 treys per contest.
Nov 11, 2025
Pops for 28 points off bench
Krejci totaled 28 points (9-13 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Monday's 105-102 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci played a key role in Atlanta's tightly-contest victory, leading the team in scoring despite being deployed off the bench. He'd gotten off to a slow start to November after being held to only 10 total points in his first three appearances, but he's responded nicely by putting up 17 and now 28 points in his last two showings. Krejci has benefitted from the absence of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who has missed the last two games while dealing with a back issue.
Nov 7, 2025
Fails to score in loss
Krejci posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Friday's 109-97 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Krejci missed all three of his shot attempts, failing to score for the first time this season. Even at this early stage in the season, Atlanta is running with a relatively shallow rotation on most nights. Krejci appears to be considered a nightly piece at this stage, albeit an unimpactful one.
Nov 3, 2025
Hits three in loss
Krejci provided three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci does not appear to have a prominent role within Atlanta's rotation, even with the injury to Trae Young (knee) and the absence of Keaton Wallace (illness). Unless more injuries occur, Krejci will likely remain buried in the depth chart.
Oct 26, 2025
Scores 13 in loss
Krejci totaled 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 22 minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to the Thunder.
ANALYSIS
Krejci took advantage of extended minutes with several Hawks regulars sidelined, contributing across the board by hitting a trio of three-pointers and adding two steals. While his long-term role projects as a deeper reserve in Atlanta's rotation, he could continue to see meaningful opportunities if ankle injuries to Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson persist.
Oct 23, 2025
Didn't play season opener
Krejci didn't see the floor during Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was one of three players for Atlanta that didn't play due to a coach's decision, with N'Faly Dante and Asa Newell joining him on the bench. Obviously, this is not a great sign when it comes to Krejci's fantasy value moving forward.
Oct 16, 2025
Not starting Thursday
Krejci is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
With Zaccharie Risacher back from a rest day, Krejci will return to the second unit, where his minutes will see a sizeable dip. Krejci is not a large enough part of the regular rotation in Atlanta to justify drafting in most settings.
Oct 13, 2025
Quiet despite spot start
Krejci finished with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's preseason win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was given the starting nod after it was announced Atlanta would be resting the majority of its rotation. The coaching staff leaned heavily on the bench, meaning Krejci was limited to just 20 minutes. Despite the modest performance. Krejci has a chance to carve out a consistent, albeit low-volume role again this season. Barring multiple injuries to other players, expect to see him serving as the ninth or tenth man in the rotation on most nights.
Oct 13, 2025
Starting vs. Miami
Krejci will start in Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
With Atlanta's usual starting five taking a seat against Miami, Krejci will get the starting nod. The 25-year-old mainly came off the bench for the Hawks in 2024-25, during which he averaged 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 20.2 minutes per game in 57 regular-season outings (16 starts).
Oct 12, 2025
Adds double figures off bench
Krejci produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block across 13 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was far more efficient in his second showing of the preseason, as he was held to four points in 10 minutes during Monday's exhibition against the Rockets. The 25-year-old served in a rotation role a year ago for the Hawks, averaging 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 57 regular-season appearances, and he appears set for a similar role heading into his fifth NBA season.
Apr 13, 2025
Productive in win Sunday
Krejci closed with 13 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 victory over the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Krejci continued what has been a relatively strong season, sniffing his first career triple-double. With Jalen Johnson out for the season due to a shoulder injury, Krejci has been able to step into a consistent role. Although a back injury caused him to miss 10 straight games during the month of February, Krejci's production has been intriguing, to say the least. Through 57 games, he has averaged 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per game.
Apr 7, 2025
Strong showing off bench
Krejci produced 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 victory over the Jazz.
ANALYSIS
This was a solid all-around performance from Krejci, but that's nothing new based on recent outings. Over his last seven games, Krejci has been on fire from the field, hitting 69.4 percent of his shots. He's been productive as well, averaging 10.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in just 19.4 minutes.
Apr 1, 2025
Provides lift off bench in defeat
Krejci recorded 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes in Tuesday's 127-113 loss to Portland.
ANALYSIS
Krejci led the way off the Atlanta bench in Tuesday's contest, connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three while leading all bench players in scoring in a balanced effort. Krejci has hauled in seven or more boards in four contests, reaching double figures in scoring on 15 occasions.
Mar 30, 2025
Slides back to second unit Sunday
Krejci will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Mouhamed Gueye will return to the starting five on Sunday, pushing Krejci to the bench. Over his last five outings (one start), the 24-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 3.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 19.6 minutes per contest.
Mar 28, 2025
Scores 14 in spot start
Krejci racked up 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Krejci moved to a starting role for the first time since Jan. 28, and he made the most of his minutes en route to his first double-digit scoring performance since March 12. Krejci missed 10 games between Feb. 12 and March 8 due to a lumbar fracture, and he's struggled to post consistent numbers of late. He's averaging a mere 7.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in nine outings since returning from that injury.
Mar 27, 2025
Starting Thursday
Krejci will start in Thursday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old will receive the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 30, pushing Mouhamed Gueye to the bench. Over eight appearances this month, Krejci has averaged 6.4 points, 2.5 assists and 1.6 rebounds across 18.5 minutes per game.
Mar 17, 2025
Records two steals
Krejci posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 122-114 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has been productive off the bench for the Hawks, but low workloads have limited his fantasy appeal to deeper formats. Over his last four appearances in March, he's averaging 8.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.
Mar 11, 2025
Dishes out four assists in return
Krejci (back) registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes in Monday's 132-123 win over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci took the court for the first time since Feb. 10 after missing the Hawks' previous 10 games due to a lumbar fracture. While the Hawks were likely keeping his minutes in check in his return, Krejci won't necessarily have the opportunity to see his role increase in future contests. The Hawks were without both Trae Young (quadricep) and Caris LeVert (finger) on Monday, and Krejci, Keaton Wallace (31 minutes), Terance Mann (33 minutes) and Zaccharie Risacher (31 minutes) could all have their playing time get cut down a bit once once the two injured players return to action.
Mar 10, 2025
Available Monday
Krejci (back) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will return from a 10-game absence streak due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. However, it wouldn't come as a surprise if the 24-year-old operates under a minutes restriction during his return. Krejci joined the second unit in each of his last seven appearances before the absence streak, during which he averaged 8.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 23.4 minutes per contest.
Mar 9, 2025
Questionable for Monday
Krejci (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has been sidelined for the Hawks' last 10 games due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. He's progressed enough in his recovery to be given the questionable tag for Monday's game, but he'll have to at least go through pregame warmups before a determination on his status is made. Krejci was averaging 10.6 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 27.2 minutes across the 20 games prior to his injury.
Mar 7, 2025
Iffy for Saturday
Krejci (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci hasn't played since Feb. 10 due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. However, the 24-year-old has spent time practicing in the G League and could return to action for Saturday's contest.
Mar 4, 2025
Back from G League
Atlanta recalled Krejci (back) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Krejci spent the afternoon practicing with the Skyhawks and was quickly recalled. Based on previous reporting, he's likely a week away from returning to action for Atlanta.
Mar 4, 2025
Assigned to G League
Atlanta assigned Krejci to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks announced back on Feb. 12 that Krejci was diagnosed with a non-displaced lumbar fracture and that he would be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks. He's presumably going to the G League to ramp up his rehab process, so this could be a sign that he's poised to return to action in the near future.
Feb 12, 2025
To be re-evaluated in four weeks
The Hawks announced Wednesday that Krejci (back) will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks.
ANALYSIS
After leaving Monday's game against the Magic, Krejci has been diagnosed with a non-displaced lumbar fracture and is facing an extended absence. In the meantime, Caris LeVert and Georges Niang are primed for expanded roles while Krejci recovers.
Feb 11, 2025
Ruled out for Wednesday
Krejci (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci sustained the lower back contusion on a hard fall in the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Magic. The 24-year-old's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break against the Magic on Feb. 20. Caris LeVert and Terance Mann are candidates for an uptick in playing time with Krejci on the shelf.
Feb 10, 2025
Won't return Monday
Krejci has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Magic due to a lower back contusion. He collected eight points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 18 minutes before departing.
ANALYSIS
It didn't take long for Atlanta's medical staff to shut Krejci down for the rest of the night after he exited, as he looked to be in considerable pain on his way to the locker room. He'll presumably be considered day-to-day moving forward.
Feb 10, 2025
Heading to locker room
Krejci went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Magic due to an apparent back injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was fouled hard and landed on his back, but he managed to make his free throw before going in to get assessed further. Caris LeVert and Zaccarie Risacher would pick up the slack in the frontcourt if Krejci is unable to return.
Feb 8, 2025
Sniffs triple-double Saturday
Krejci had 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 win over the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Krejci flirted with what would've been his first career triple-double, falling a lone rebound and three-pointer shy of the team-high marks in these areas Saturday. The 24-year-old remains a candidate to make occasional starts for the Hawks going forward, but he's come off the bench in seven straight games. During this span, Krejci has averaged 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.1 threes in 26.0 minutes.
Feb 3, 2025
Improved performance Monday
Krejci registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 132-130 victory over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Krejci got back on track with a well-balanced performance, a welcome sight after what has been a modest couple of games. After playing 15 and 21 minutes in each of the past two contests, his role had become somewhat unclear. However, he ended the night with 28 minutes, more in line with what he had been playing prior to the recent downtick. The Hawks are going to need all hands on deck moving forward, meaning Krejci should continue to play a meaningful role.
Feb 2, 2025
Muted role continues
Krejci racked up five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 15 minutes during Saturday's 132-127 loss to Indiana.
ANALYSIS
Krejci played just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played since late December. He has shifted to the bench over the past two games after having started 12 straight contests during the month of January. As the Hawks continue to look for a winning formula, there is a chance Krejci's role could increase again at some point in the near future.
Jan 30, 2025
Won't start Thursday
Krejci will come off the bench in Thursday's game against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
With Zaccharie Risacher returning to game action, the Hawks will choose to keep Mouhamed Gueye in the starting five over Krejci against the Cavaliers. The 24-year-old had started in 12 consecutive contests for Atlanta entering Thursday, during which he had averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 29.3 minutes per game.
Jan 26, 2025
Multiple career highs despite loss
Krejci dropped 20 points (6-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, three steals, two rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
In one of the best performances of his young career, the fourth-year guard logged career-best marks in points and three-pointers made, while also matching his career high in steals and recording a season high in assists while he was at it. Krejci has been picking up steam of late, averaging 12.2 points and 3.9 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 48.5 percent from deep in January. Although the Hawks have been without forwards like Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) and De'Andre Hunter (illness), Krejci has become a staple in their guard rotation, and his volume shouldn't take too much of a hit when they eventually return. He'll next take the court Monday against the Timberwolves.
Jan 23, 2025
Nails three triples in loss
Krejci racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has seen a significant increase since being inserted into the starting lineup in his last eight outings, averaging 10.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 27.8 minutes. Krejci has also been scorching the nets from behind the arc over that span, converting 50.0 percent of his 5.0 three-point attempts.
Jan 15, 2025
Checks back in
Krejci (undisclosed) has returned to Wednesday's game against Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Krejci went back to the locker room with an undisclosed injury, but he's since checked back into the contest. Krejci should receive as many minutes as he can handle the rest of the way for the shorthanded Hawks.
Jan 15, 2025
Goes to locker room
Krejci went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The reason for Krejci's exit is unknown, but he'll head back to the locker room for further evaluation. The Hawks are already rather thin due to injuries, though Krejci's departure could mean more minutes for Keaton Wallace, Garrison Mathews and Daeqwon Plowden.
Jan 15, 2025
Scores 15 points
Krejci logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 win over the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Krejci recorded a season-high 15 points in the win while matching his season-best mark of six assists. He continues to trend up for the Hawks, posting averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers over his last five games, becoming an intriguing fantasy pickup in the process.
Jan 10, 2025
Efficient outing in defeat
Krejci posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old started in his third consecutive contest with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined, during which Krejci delivered a productive performance. In that three-game span, Krejci has averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.3 minutes per contest. The swingman has seen significant playing time when injuries have popped up for the club, though he's not guaranteed to receive consistent minutes when Johnson returns.
Jan 4, 2025
Starting vs. Clippers
Krejci is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will enter the starting lineup due to the absence of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). He's averaging 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in his previous three starts in 2024-25.
Jan 2, 2025
Scores season-high 14 points
Krejci chipped in 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Dyson Daniels' return caused Krejci to come off the bench Wednesday after starting in Atlanta's previous two contests. However, Krejci still logged 28 minutes and scored a season-high 28 points. The 24-year-old guard should continue to be one of the Hawks' primary bench options in the backcourt moving forward.
Jan 1, 2025
Not starting Wednesday
Krejci is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Wednesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With Dyson Daniels back from a two-game absence due to an illness, Krejci will revert to a reserve role Wednesday. Krejci started in the Hawks' last two games, and over that span he averaged 6.0 points, 4.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 26.5 minutes per contest.
Dec 30, 2024
Records three steals
Krejci supplied five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 victory over the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
Krejci made a strong impact on the defensive end, filling in admirably for Dyson Daniels who missed his second straight game with an illness. Krejci hasn't seen much action this season, playing 13.9 minutes per contest across 19 appearances with averages of 3.0 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists.
Dec 28, 2024
In first unit
Krejci is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will jump into the starting five Saturday in the wake of Dyson Daniel's (illness) absence. In his only other start this season -- Dec. 21 against Memphis -- Krejci logged seven points and three assists across 20 minutes.
Dec 23, 2024
Not starting Monday
Krejci is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Trae Young (heel) is back from a one-game absence, pushing Krejci back to the second unit. Krejci has logged 20 minutes in three of his last five appearances and figures to play a similar role Monday while Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) is sidelined.
Dec 22, 2024
Tallies seven points in spot start
Krejci registered seven points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 loss to the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was handed a starting spot Saturday, filling in for Trae Young who was ruled out due to a heel issue. Despite the opportunity, Krejci failed to produce anything of note, a trend that has been brewing all season. He possesses an intriguing skill set but the opportunities to play meaningful minutes are simply too few and far between at this point.
Dec 21, 2024
Moving to starting role
Krejci is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks decided to tweak their starting unit since they won't have Trae Young (heel) available, and Krejci will slot at shooting guard while Dyson Daniels plays the point. This will be Krejci's first start of the 2024-25 campaign.
Dec 12, 2024
Muted role continues
Krejci logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over eight minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Krejci continues to be used sparingly by the Hawks, having played in just eight of the past 13 games since returning from injury. In that time, he has scored a total of 15 points, eight of which came in a loss to Portland. Based on what have seen to this point, Krejci is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not this season.
Nov 19, 2024
Good to go Wednesday
Krejci (thigh) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will return to action Wednesday after missing Atlanta's previous contest due to right adductor strain injury management. Krejci should compete for backup minutes in the team's backcourt against Golden State.
Nov 18, 2024
Out Monday
Krejci has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to right adductor strain injury management, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci made his return from a nine-game absence Sunday, playing 21 minutes off the bench during a loss to Portland. As expected, he'll be sidelined for the second half of Atlanta's back-to-back set but should return to be available Wednesday in Golden State. However, with Atlanta getting close to full strength, it's unclear how many minutes will be available for Krejci moving forward.
Nov 18, 2024
Posts well-rounded line in return
Krejci (adductor) tallied eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 21 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a nine-game absence due to a right adductor strain, Krejci slotted back into the Atlanta rotation and finished second to only center Onyeka Okongwu in minutes among Hawks reserves. Though he produced well across the board during his time on the court, Krejci is likely to see his minutes trend downward from here. De'Andre Hunter (knee) sat out Sunday due to injury management but should be back in action Monday in Sacramento, while Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) also appear poised to return from multi-game absences at some point during the upcoming week.
Nov 17, 2024
Available Sunday
Krejci (thigh) is available for Sunday's game against Portland, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci is cleared to make his first appearance since Oct. 28. He played at least 10 minutes in each of his first four appearances and will likely be limited even if he's part of the rotation Sunday.
Nov 16, 2024
Upgraded to questionable
Krejci (thigh) is questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci could return earlier than expected to the hardwood due to this questionable tag. He's made just four appearances off the bench this season, however, so he's not likely to have a lot of fantasy appeal even if deemed available.
Nov 15, 2024
Recalled to NBA
The Hawks recalled Krejci (thigh) from the College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Krejci hasn't played since Oct. 28 due to a right adductor strain. While he was able to practice in the G League, Krejci is still out until he receives a re-evaluation sometime next week.
Nov 15, 2024
Will practice with G League
Krejci (thigh) was assigned to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Krejci will get a full practice in with the G League squad as part of his rehab. Krejci hasn't played since Oct. 28 but is slated to be re-evaluated early next week.
Nov 12, 2024
Will be re-evaluated in one week
Krejci (adductor) is set to be re-evaluated in approximately one week, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has made progress during his rehabilitation after sustaining a right adductor strain Oct. 28. While the 24-year-old is set to be re-evaluated soon, there is a chance he misses a few more weeks, according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network. Krejci has appeared in four regular-season outings this season, during which he has averaged 4.5 points and 1.3 rebounds across 14.0 minutes per game.
Nov 10, 2024
Not close to returning
Krejci (thigh) will likely miss at least a few more weeks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci is due for re-evaluation this week but isn't close to returning to game action. He played double-digit minutes in each of his first four appearances this season, but he's one of a handful of wing players sidelined for an extended period, joining De'Andre Hunter (knee), Kobe Bufkin (shoulder) and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
Oct 29, 2024
Will miss at least two weeks
The Hawks announced Tuesday that Krejci (thigh) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
ANALYSIS
Krejci sustained a right adductor strain during Monday's loss to Washington and will miss multiple weeks. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) also sidelined for multiple weeks, the Hawks' backcourt depth looks thin.
Oct 29, 2024
Ruled out for Wednesday
Krejci (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will miss at least one game after suffering a right adductor injury during Monday's loss to Washington. With Dyson Daniels (hip) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) also out, David Roddy and Garrison Mathews would be candidates for increased roles.
Oct 28, 2024
Heads back to locker room
Krejci (undisclosed) went back to the locker room in the second quarter of Monday's matchup against the Wizards, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci appeared to favor his groin area after being fouled. He stayed in the game and made his first free throw before leaving the court. The 24-year-old has played double-digit minutes in three regular-season games as the club has been without Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) since Opening Night.
Oct 23, 2024
With second unit
Krejci is not starting Wednesday versus Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will come off the bench with Atlanta's cast of shooting guards and wings being fully healthy. He averaged 27.1 minutes of action across his final 15 appearances last season, representing momentum for a rotation role in 2024-25.
Oct 16, 2024
Starting Wednesday
Krejci will start Wednesday's game against the Heat, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will draw the start Wednesday while De'Andre Hunter (undisclosed) and Zaccharie Risacher (undisclosed) sit out. Krejci averaged 6.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 24.6 minutes per game in 2023-24.
Jul 10, 2024
Agrees to four-year deal with ATL
Krejci has agreed to return to the Hawks on a four-year, $10 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci had some bright spots filling in for Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu when both players were injured last season, but when the team is healthy, it'll be tough for Krejci to earn enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy hoops.
Apr 11, 2024
Productive as starter
Krejci provided 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 loss to Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
Krejci returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after coming off the bench in his last four appearances, and he posted a season-high scoring total in the narrow loss. The Hawks announced Thursday that Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will be sidelined for multiple weeks, so Krejci could continue to see increased run down the stretch.
Apr 10, 2024
Gets starting nod
Krejci is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will return to the starting lineup Wednesday, with Atlanta dealing with a long list of injuries. Krejci is averaging 8.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.
Apr 3, 2024
Headed to bench
Krejci will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Jalen Johnson is returning to the first unit Wednesday, so Krejci will likely be operating in a reserve role moving forward. As a member of the second unit, Krejci's minutes will likely dip to the lower 20s, so he's not the most attractive target in standard formats.
Mar 26, 2024
Hot from deep
Krejci registered 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Krejci accounted for 13 of his 16 points in the second half as Atlanta successfully mounted a comeback after trailing by 30 points in the second quarter of Monday's game. As a 6-foot-8 swingman, Krejci has the size to be a factor defensively, although offense is his forte, and he's delivering to the tune of 11.3 points and 2.8 assists on 56.3 percent shooting across his last four games. He has started nine consecutive contests for Atlanta, averaging 28.4 minutes over that span.
Mar 18, 2024
Quiet in start
Krejci posted five points (1-2 FG, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 win over the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
Krejci wasn't very involved Sunday, and that doesn't bode well for his outlook going forward considering the amount of injuries there are in Atlanta. In his last six outings, Krejci has averaged just 3.3 points, 2.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per contest.
Mar 8, 2024
Getting rare start
Krejci will start at small forward in Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Krejci will slide into the starting unit alongside Saddiq Bey as the two forwards. The 23-year-old has played just five minutes this season and has not recorded any statistics.
Mar 6, 2024
Recalled from G League
Atlanta recalled Krejci from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers and will likely provide some emergency depth in the backcourt.
Feb 6, 2024
Could play in G League this week
Krejci (shoulder) will travel with the G League's College Park Skyhawks and this week and could be available for games Wednesday and Thursday versus the Grand Rapids Drive.
ANALYSIS
The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for the Hawks or the Skyhawks since Dec. 29 due to a left shoulder subluxation, but he appears to be closing in on a return to game action. Even once the injury is firmly in the rear-view mirror, Krejci likely won't be included in the NBA rotation, so he could stick around in the G League beyond this week.
Feb 3, 2024
Listed out vs. Warriors

Jan 4, 2024
Rejoins NBA club
The Hawks recalled Krejci (undisclosed) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci missed the Skyhawks' most recent game Sunday against the Iowa Wolves due to an unspecified injury or illness, but he's apparently healthy enough to meet back up with the parent club ahead of Friday's game in Indiana. The 23-year-old could be active for Friday's contest but isn't expected to be featured in the rotation.
Dec 23, 2023
Available to play
Krejci (thumb) will be available for Saturday against the Grizzlies, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS

Dec 23, 2023
Questionable Saturday
Krejci (left thumb surgery recovery) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
Krejci inked a two-way deal with Atlanta Friday, but he's still recovering from a thumb injury he sustained earlier this season. While he'll likely see a reserve role if active, the Hawks' lengthy injury report could allow for Krejci to crack the rotation.
Dec 22, 2023
Joins Atlanta on two-way deal
Krejci signed a two-way contract with the Hawks on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci spent the start of the 2023-24 campaign with the G League's Iowa Wolves and tallied five points, six assists and two rebounds in 20 minutes during his lone appearance. He made 29 appearances for Atlanta last year and averaged just 1.2 points in 5.7 minutes per game, but he'll rejoin the club on a two-way deal.
Oct 18, 2023
Wavied by T-Wolves
Kejci was waived by Minnesota on Wednesday, Keith Smith of Sportrac reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci inked a training camp deal with the Timberwolves in September but will not make the team's regular season roster. He logged just seven preseason minutes with the team and has been battling a left hand injury as of late.
Sep 14, 2023
Inks deal with Minnesota
The Timberwolves signed Krejci to a training camp contract Thursday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci averaged 1.2 points in 5.7 minutes across 29 appearances for the Hawks in 2022-23. If Krejci is able to make Minnesota's regular-season roster, he will likely compete for a depth role in the backcourt.
Aug 16, 2023
Waived by Atlanta
Krejci (ankle was waived by the Hawks on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was with the Hawks during the 2022-23 campaign and averaged just 1.2 points in 5.7 minutes per game over 29 appearances. He remained with Atlanta on a non-guaranteed deal during the offseason but will now seek out other opportunities. He sustained an ankle injury during a Summer League matchup in mid-July, but it's unclear whether that will impact his availability for offseason activities.
Jul 16, 2023
Exits game Sunday
Krejci (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup with Dallas, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci logged just two points, two rebounds and an assist in eight minutes before leaving the game with a left ankle sprain. The 23-year-old will likely serve as a depth piece for Atlanta come the regular season.
Jan 7, 2023
Deal becomes guaranteed
Krejci's contract became guaranteed Saturday evening, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci and teammate Tyrese Martin both made it past the deadline, making their contracts guaranteed for the 2022-23 campaign. While Krejci has earned a contract the rest of the way, he's still lightly being used in the rotation, logging no more than four minutes in a game since Dec. 12.
Dec 30, 2022
Recalled by Atlanta
Krejci was recalled by the Hawks on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS

Dec 29, 2022
Sent to G League
The Hawks assigned Krejci to G League College Park on Thursday.

Dec 27, 2022
Good to go Tuesday

Dec 26, 2022
Dealing with ankle sprain
Krejci is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
The extent of Krejci's sprain is unclear, but his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Atlanta's rotation. He's appeared in just three of the team's past eight games, totaling 22 minutes in those contests.
Nov 1, 2022
Gets on the board
Krejci chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound over six minutes during Monday's 139-109 loss to the Raptors.
ANALYSIS
With Atlanta getting torched by Toronto, Krejci contributed his first points of the season. The 22-year-old averaged 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 30 games as a rookie with Oklahoma City last season, but he won't see that level of usage on a competitive Atlanta squad.
Oct 6, 2022
Available to make debut
Krejci will be available to play Thursday against the Bucks in their preseason matchup in Abu Dhabi, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci looks to be fully recovered from a knee surgery he underwent in April. Last season he averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.4 minutes across 24 games for the Thunder as a rookie. After being traded to the Hawks, Krejci will attempt to earn his spot in the rotation.
Sep 27, 2022
Traded to Atlanta
Krejci (knee) was traded from the Thunder to the Hawks on Tuesday in exchange for Maurice Harkless and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April after presumably playing through the issue at the end of last season. After the All-Star break, the third-year guard appeared in 24 straight games for the Thunder and averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.4 minutes per contest. He's expected to be healthy by the start of the season, but he'll face stiff competition for playing time, especially if he misses a large portion of training camp while rehabbing his knee.
Sep 27, 2022
Traded to Atlanta
Krejci (knee) was traded by the Thunder to the Hawks on Tuesday in exchange for Maurice Harkless and a second-round pick, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee in April after presumably playing through the issue at the end of last season. After the All-Star break, the guard, drafted in 2020, appeared in 24 straight games for the Thunder and averaged 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.4 minutes per contest. He's expected to be healthy by the start of the season, but he'll face stiff competition for playing time, especially if he misses a large portion of training camp while rehabbing his knee.
Apr 18, 2022
Opts for knee surgery
Krejci underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last Tuesday, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was presumably playing through the knee issue late in the season, but the injury didn't deter the Thunder from giving the second-year guard as many minutes as he could handle down the stretch. From the All-Star break onward, Krejci appeared in all 24 of the Thunder's games, making eight starts while averaging 7.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 27.4 minutes per contest. He should be back to full strength for training camp and will get the chance to compete for a spot in the Thunder's rotation to begin the 2022-23 campaign, but expect his playing time to take a significant hit with the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), Josh Giddey (hip), Luguentz Dort (shoulder) and Tre Mann (hamstring) all expected to be 100 percent healthy.
Apr 3, 2022
Sees plenty of action
Krejci put up 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-1 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one block in Sunday's 117-96 victory over Phoenix.
ANALYSIS
Krejci led all players with 37 minutes played and finished with a season-high in assists. With the number of injuries to Oklahoma City's roster, the rookie has been on the court for 145 minutes in the past four games combined. While he hasn't shot the ball well in those games, Krejci has remained active as a playmaker and rebounder.
Mar 28, 2022
Enters starting five
Krejci is starting Monday's game against Portland, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci will draw his first start of the season, getting the nod in place of Tre Mann (hamstring). He's averaging 7.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last seven contests.
Mar 23, 2022
First career double-double
Krejci posted 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds and two assists during Wednesday's 118-102 win over Orlando.
ANALYSIS
This was arguably Krejci's best performance of his career thus far, as Krejci drained four threes and grabbed a career high off the glass to mark his first double-double. His 11 rebounds completely shattered his previous high of just six rebounds March 16 against the Spurs. Krejci has now scored in double figurers in three contest this year.
Mar 1, 2022
Plays 29 minutes in blowout
Krejci finished with 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Monday's 131-110 loss to the Kings.
ANALYSIS
Krejci appeared in just five of the Thunder's 53 games prior to the All-Star break, but thanks to several guards/wings being sidelined with injuries, he's been able to pick up steady rotational minutes in each of the team's first three contests to begin the second half of the season. The rookie submitted his best fantasy line to date Monday, and the stat line would have looked even better had he not come up empty from downtown. Krejci is a player to monitor only in deep leagues at this time, and he could fall out of the rotation as soon as at least two of Kenrich Williams (knee), Ty Jerome (hip), Luguentz Dort (shoulder), Josh Giddey (hip) and Aaron Wiggins (ankle) are back in action.
Feb 25, 2022
Sees substantial run
Krejci closed Thursday's 124-104 loss to Phoenix with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 21 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Appearing in his seventh NBA game, Krejci logged double-digit minutes for the first time -- receiving a healthy role off the bench. Even amid a blowout defeat, the playing time is a crucial step in the 21-year-old rookie settling into the rotation. He's a developmental project on a Thunder roster crowded with them.
Feb 9, 2022
Recalled from G League
Krejci (ankle) was recalled by the Thunder from the G League on Wednesday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has been sidelined by an ankle sprain but saw G League action with the Oklahoma City Blue earlier Wednesday. He's appeared in only three NBA games this season and is unlikely to see much action for the Thunder, but it appears he's recovered from the injury.
Jan 19, 2022
Not close to return
Coach Mark Daigneault said Wednesday that Krejci (ankle) isn't expected to return until late February, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Kreji has been sidelined by the severe ankle sprain since Dec. 22, and it appears he'll be sidelined for at least another month. He's appeared in only three games for the Thunder this season.
Jan 16, 2022
Recalled to parent club
Krejci (ankle) was recalled to the Thunder on Sunday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Mussatto reports that this is simply an administrative move, as Krejci won't be traveling with the team and still has a ways to go in his recovery from a severe ankle sprain. There's no timetable for his return.
Dec 10, 2021
Recalled from Blue
Krejci was recalled from the Blue to the Thunder on Friday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-8 guard hasn't seen NBA action since the Thunder's first two games of the season, but Krejci will be back with the club for the time being. Unless the Czech Republic native starts to see a healthy amount of minutes, Krejci can be left off fantasy rosters in all formats.
Nov 24, 2021
Recalled by Oklahoma City
Krejci was recalled by the Thunder on Wednesday, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has appeared in eight games with the Blue this season, and he's averaged 5.9 points and 5.3 rebounds in 22.9 minutes per contest. He's made just three appearances with the parent club and has averaged 3.0 minutes per game.
Nov 12, 2021
Recalled to Thunder
Krejci was recalled back from the G League on Friday, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 6-foot-8 guard has not appeared in the Thunder's last eight games, but Krejci will now be back with the official roster. The 2020 second-round selection's next chance to see the court comes Friday against the Kings, but regardless the 21-year-old should not be near fantasy lineups in any format.
Nov 7, 2021
Recalled by Thunder
The Thunder recalled Krejci on Sunday, according to Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman.
ANALYSIS
Krejci has two points across nine NBA game minutes this year and will not provide meaningful fantasy value right now.
Oct 16, 2021
Joins team, cleared to play
Krejci (visa issues) has joined the Thunder and is cleared to play, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci got his visa issues sorted out and should be available for the Thunder on Wednesday for opening night against the Jazz. He's expected to be a depth option for OKC.
Oct 8, 2021
Has yet to join team
Krejci is still dealing with Visa issues and won't be able to join the team in time for Sunday's exhibition game, Rylan Stiles of BricktownBuckets.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Krejci was selected with the 37th pick in the 2020 draft, but he missed the 2020-21 season rehabbing from a torn ACL. The 6-foot-8 forward is expected to spend the majority of the 2021-22 campaign with the Thunder's G League team, but he could be getting valuable NBA experience during the preseason. Oklahoma City's next contest is Wednesday, but it's unclear if the 21-year-old will be back with the team by then.
