Wallace will start in Saturday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
With Trae Young (knee), Luke Kennard (illness) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (back) all sidelined, Wallace will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five regular-season appearances, the 26-year-old point guard has averaged 5.0 points, 3.6 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 13.4 minutes per game. He is expected to see a significant bump in playing time Saturday.

Rotowire
Wallace will start Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
With the Hawks resting all of their regulars, Wallace will start alongside Asa Newell, N'Faly Dante, Vit Krejci and Jacob Toppin. Wallace appeared in 31 regular-season games (five starts) for the Hawks last season and is under contract with Atlanta on a two-way deal for a second straight campaign.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Inks two-way deal with Atlanta
Rotowire
Wallace agreed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on Friday.
Wallace is returning to the Hawks on another two-way contract after hitting restricted free agency this summer. He appeared in 31 regular-season games (five starts) at the NBA level last season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds across 16.2 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: First career triple-double
Rotowire
Wallace finished with 15 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, 15 assists and five steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 victory over the Magic.
Wallace was phenomenal in the regular-season finale, recording the first triple-double of his young career. Playing behind Trae Young has limited Wallace's opportunities this season, although he has flashed enough upside to convince the coaching staff he has a future in Atlanta. Should the Hawks advance beyond the Play-In Tournament, it is unlikely Wallace will see much, if any, court time.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Gets garbage-time minutes in return
Rotowire
Wallace (shoulder) played the final 6:04 of Saturday's 121-105 loss to the Knicks, finishing with two points (1-2 FG), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block.
Available to play for the first time since March 13 after suffering an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during his final appearance of the season for the G League's College Park Skyhawks, Wallace saw some action Saturday, but he wasn't part of head coach Quin Snyder's rotation while the game was competitive. The 26-year-old will likely need the Hawks to be without Trae Young or Dyson Daniels for a given game before he sees enough playing time to make for an attractive streaming option or punt play in DFS lineups.

Wallace (shoulder) is out for Tuesday's game against Portland, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Tuesday will mark a 10th straight absence due to a sprained right shoulder for Wallace, who holds no clear timetable for a return ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Dallas. However, the rookie guard's absence shouldn't have a major impact on Atlanta's rotation against the Trail Blazers.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Starting sans Young
Rotowire

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Back with parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Wallace from the G League's College Park Skyhawks ahead of Monday's game against the 76ers.
Wallace presumably took part in practice with College Park earlier in the day. The two-way player has been outside of the Atlanta rotation since the All-Star break, but with Trae Young (quadricep) and Caris LeVert (finger) both sitting out Monday, Wallace could get some meaningful playing time.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Rejoins parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Wallace from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Sunday.
Wallace will rejoin the parent squad ahead of their game against the Grizzlies on Monday. The 26-year-old guard typically hasn't been included in the rotation when the Hawks have both Trae Young and Dyson Daniels available out of the backcourt.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Productive in spot start
Rotowire
Wallace supplied 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 100-92 loss to Minnesota.
Wallace was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks earlier in the day and ended up replacing Trae Young who was ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Dyson Daniels was also a late scratch with an ankle issue, presenting Wallace with an opportunity to once again prove himself on the big stage. While he wasn't able to build on his big 27-point, six-assist outing from his last appearance with the Hawks on Jan. 15, Wallace was productive enough for anybody that streamed him or used him in DFS. Both Young and Daniels could be back in action Tuesday versus the Rockets, in which case Wallace will likely head to the bench and potentially move out of the rotation.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Back from G League
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Wallace from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday.
Wallace will be back with Atlanta after he suited up Friday for College Park in its 115-107 loss to the Osceola Magic, finishing with 20 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3PT, 1-1 FT), 10 assists, seven rebounds and one block across 37 minutes. He'll be available Saturday for the Hawks' game against the Heat and could enter the rotation if one or both of Trae Young (heel) and Dyson Daniels (illness) -- both of whom are listed as questionable -- end up sitting out.
