Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Drops 30 points in return
Johnson recorded 30 points (11-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 124-121 win over Brooklyn.
Johnson returned to action after missing the previous three games due to an ankle injury. He showed no signs of rust, leading all scorers with 30 points, powering Atlanta to a come-from-behind victory. It appears to be all systems go for Johnson, especially given he played 36 minutes in his return. Barring any setbacks, expect to see him leading from the front again when the Lakers come to town Monday.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Back in action Saturday
Johnson (ankle) is active for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Johnson has missed Atlanta's last three contests due to a sprained left ankle, but the 24-year-old is ready to roll at home versus Brooklyn. His return will likely push Luguentz Dort back to the bench, while Corey Kispert could see his minutes diminish slightly.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Expected to play Saturday
Johnson (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against Brooklyn.
Johnson has missed each of Atlanta's last three games due to a sprained left ankle, though it seems likely that his string of absences will end Saturday. The 24-year-old has gotten off to another strong start this season, averaging 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 7.9 assists in 32.6 minutes per game.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Ruled out for Friday
Johnson (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.
This will be Johnson's third straight game on the sidelines, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Nets. Luguentz Dort should continue to start in his absence, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu will see a larger role on offense.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Remains Questionable Friday
Johnson is questionable to suit up for Friday's game against Washington.
Johnson hasn't played since spraining his left ankle during Saturday's 121-99 loss to the Pelicans, and he's now questionable to suit up for Friday's matchup versus the Wizards. The Hawks have won two straight in his absence, so there's at least some good news for Atlanta. If Johnson is forced to miss a third consecutive contest, the 2026 All-Star forward's next opportunity to play will come against the Nets at home on Saturday.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Out again Wednesday
Johnson (ankle) is listed as out for Wednesday's game in Washington.
Johnson sustained a sprained left ankle in Saturday's 121-99 loss to the Pelicans and wasn't available for Monday's meeting with Indiana. Now that the 24-year-old is ruled out for a second consecutive game, his next opportunity to get back on the floor will come Friday for the rematch with the Wizards. Without Johnson, Luguentz Dort is expected to stay in the starting lineup.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Questionable for Wednesday
Johnson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Washington, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Johnson suffered a sprained left ankle in Saturday's 121-99 loss to New Orleans and was ruled out ahead of Monday's meeting with the Pacers. If Johnson can't get back on the floor Wednesday versus the Wizards, Luguentz Dort might make his second consecutive start.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Ruled out Monday
Johnson (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Indiana.
Johnson exited Saturday's loss to the Pelicans with a left ankle sprain and will sit out Monday's contest. The star forward's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Wizards. In the meantime, Aaron Wiggins, Luguentz Dort and Asa Newell are candidates for increased playing time.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Questionable to suit up Monday
Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play Monday against the Pacers.
Johnson did not return to Saturday's 121-99 loss to New Orleans after suffering a left ankle sprain in the third quarter. He's now been tagged as questionable, and if he is in fact out versus Indiana, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort are the top candidates to join the starting five for Atlanta.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Doesn't return to Saturday's contest
Johnson (ankle) did not return to Saturday's 121-99 loss to the Pelicans. He finished with 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 28 minutes.
Johnson was on the court for the final seconds of the third quarter but didn't see the floor for the entire fourth. The Hawks were facing a large deficit, so the decision to keep him sidelined for the final quarter may have been a precautionary measure. Nevertheless, Johnson's injury status is worth monitoring heading into the Hawks' next game, which takes place Monday against the Pacers. If he were to miss time, then Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort would likely be the top candidates to enter Atlanta's starting lineup.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Leaves game with ankle injury
Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Johnson may have tweaked his ankle toward the tail end of the third quarter, as he was subbed out for Dyson Daniels for the start of the fourth. Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort are both in line for more minutes while Johnson is out of the game.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Flirts with triple-double in victory
Johnson recorded 17 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes in Thursday's 114-111 win over the Cavaliers.
Johnson delivered another well-rounded performance, contributing as both a rebounder and facilitator despite failing to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in six appearances this season. His seven assists highlighted his importance to Atlanta's offensive scheme, but he also lost the ball four times, his third straight game with at least three turnovers. Johnson's substantial playing time and versatility across points, rebounds, and assists give him a strong fantasy foundation, but his early-season numbers are slightly down in most categories compared to his career-best season in 2025-26.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Three-point shooting woes continue
Johnson finished Wednesday's 129-117 loss to the Heat with 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 36 minutes.
Johnson has been struggling mightily from three-point range to start the season, going 5-for-23 from beyond the arc. However, there's no way he'll shoot this poorly all season, given that he converted 35.2 percent of his three-point attempts last year, so managers should stay patient through this slow start.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Continues to roll Monday
Johnson finished with 21 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-110 loss to the Rockets.
Johnson continues to roll as a first-round fantasy player in the early stages of the campaign. Over four appearances to this point, the star forward has averaged 21.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.5 minutes per game.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Ties career high in loss
Johnson contributed 26 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 16 assists, nine rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes in Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Rockets.
After providing a full stat line in Friday's win over Charlotte, Johnson stuffed the stat sheet once again in the second half of this back-to-back set. The star forward recorded game highs in scoring and assists, dishing out a career-high-tying 16 dimes. The 24-year-old also led the Hawks in rebounds. He's posted at least 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists in all three of his regular-season appearances to begin the campaign.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Loaded stat line Friday
Johnson posted 19 points (9-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block across 29 minutes in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.
The Hawks looked dominant on both ends of the court and cruised to a 47-point victory -- and Johnson finished just two dimes and three boards shy of a triple-double despite playing under 30 minutes. Johnson also made his presence felt defensively with four steals-plus-blocks combined. It's only been two games, but Johnson is off to an excellent start in 2026-27 with 39 points, 21 rebounds, and 14 assists in his first two contests.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in victory
Johnson ended Wednesday's 132-125 victory over Orlando with 20 points (7-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 14 rebounds and six assists over 28 minutes.
Johnson recorded his first double-double of the season, albeit on an inefficient 7-of-19 from the field. Along with the majority of the starting lineup, Johnson's playing time was limited, with head coach Quin Snyder opting to ease his players into the season. All things considered, this was a strong outing for Johnson, although fantasy managers would love to see a little more from him on the defensive end moving forward.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in win
Johnson tallied 20 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 25 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.
This was Johnson's second double-double of the preseason, and he appears primed for another big year as the main man in Atlanta. The 24-year-old forward earned his first All-Star selection last season with averages of 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.7 triples and 1.2 steals per game on 49/35/79 shooting splits.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Will play Friday
Johnson (rest) will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson and most of Atlanta's regulars rested Monday against the Thunder but will return to action for the final exhibition. It's unclear how many minutes the star forward will play Friday, but he should be full go for the regular-season opener.
