Hawks' Jock Landale: Productive in reserve role
Rotowire
Landale posted 10 points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 victory over Orlando.
Landale provided an efficient scoring boost off the bench, reaching double figures despite attempting only five field goals. He served as Atlanta's primary reserve center behind Onyeka Okongwu, though his limited rebounding production and modest workload could restrict his value to deeper fantasy leagues.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Stuffs stat sheet Friday
Rotowire
Landale recorded 16 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and a block across 21 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Landale delivered an exceptionally efficient offensive performance, missing just one field-goal attempt but also thriving as a playmaker from the post. Landale's combination of perimeter shooting and passing, as well as solid rebounding ability, could give Atlanta valuable versatility in its frontcourt rotation, although his fantasy appeal will depend on his workload. He's slated to open the season as the backup center behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Rotowire

Landale made an impact on both ends of the floor, connecting on two triples while contributing three combined steals and blocks. The veteran center is expected to serve as Atlanta's primary backup behind Onyeka Okongwu, a role that should provide occasional fantasy value in deeper leagues.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Returning to Atlanta
Rotowire
Landale (ankle) will return to the Hawks on a one-year, $14 million deal, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Tuesday.
The Hawks will quickly lock up their backup center before he hits the open market. Across 68 regular-season games in 2025-26, Landale shot 51.5 percent from the field with averages of 10.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 22.1 minutes per game. Look for him to back up Onyeka Okongwu moving forward.

Hawks' Jock Landale: To miss at least two weeks
Rotowire
Landale (ankle) is expected to miss at least two weeks, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Landale sustained a right high-ankle sprain during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's win versus Orlando. Given the timetable for a return, the 29-year-old big man is likely to remain sidelined until the postseason. Onyeka Okongwu should take on all the minutes he can handle during the stretch run, while Mouhamed Gueye is set to operate as the primary backup center until Landale is cleared to play.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Landale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus Orlando.
Landale didn't play in Monday's 112-102 win over Boston. He was questionable heading into Wednesday's contest, though he has now been cleared to suit up. With Landale back in the lineup, Mouhamed Gueye likely won't see much action.

Rotowire

Hawks' Jock Landale: Won't go Monday
Rotowire
Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Landale was added to the injury report due to an illness, and he's not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. This should open up some playing time for Mouhamed Gueye or Christian Koloko in the frontcourt.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Questionable with illness
Rotowire
Landale (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Boston.
Landale's status could be determined closer to Monday's pregame warmups. Mouhamed Gueye would likely move into the No. 2 center spot if Landale cannot suit up versus the Celtics.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Excels in spot start
Rotowire
Landale posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Atlanta's 123-113 win over Sacramento on Saturday.
With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, Landale was moved into Atlanta's starting lineup for the first time since his team debut Feb. 5. Landale took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Hawks in both rebounds and blocks while finishing as the team's fourth-leading scorer. The fifth-year pro has proven that he can put together productive stat lines when operating in an expanded role, though his ceiling would take a substantial hit if Okongwu is cleared to play against the Celtics on Monday.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Passive performance Monday
Rotowire
Landale supplied eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 11 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over Orlando.
Landale was subdued once again, having now scored double digits only once in the past six games. During that time, he has averaged just 6.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, despite serving as the primary backup behind Onyeka Okongwu. For those in standard formats, Landale should not even be on the radar at this point.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Stuck in reserve role
Rotowire
Landale finished Saturday's 125-116 win over Philadelphia with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound across 19 minutes.
With Onyeka Okongwu healthy, Landale is producing quality numbers on a per-minute basis but has his fantasy upside capped in a limited role off the bench. Landale has averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 17.9 minutes per contest over his last six games, shooting 41.2 percent from long distance during this span.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Strong line off bench
Rotowire
Landale ended Thursday's 117-107 victory over Philadelphia with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 22 minutes.
Landale has a firm grasp on the backup center minutes in Atlanta and is adjusting to his new role well. He's more of a deep-league fantasy asset for the time being for as long as Onyeka Okongwu is upright.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Landale is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Landale was acquired from Utah on Wednesday and will be asked to provide some frontcourt depth. Rowland notes that Landale isn't guaranteed to see minutes Thursday, so fantasy managers will want to be cautious here. However, with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) banged up and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) no longer in town, Landale could have a clear path to a rotation role when he's up to speed in Atlanta.

Hawks' Jock Landale: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
Landale is being traded to the Hawks on Wednesday for cash considerations, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Landale was sent to Utah on Tuesday as part of the Jaren Jackson trade, and just a day later, he'll pick up his things and head to Atlanta. Landale will help add some depth to the Hawks' frontcourt, but it'll be tough for him to find meaningful minutes when Kristaps Porzingis and Onyeka Okongwu are healthy. Landale can be considered questionable for Thursday's game against Utah.
