Johnson totaled 27 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds and 12 assists across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 130-129 overtime win over the Pistons.
Johnson didn't miss a beat in his return from a two-game layoff, and he did an excellent job orchestrating the offense during Wednesday's win. This was Johnson's 42nd double-double of the season and the 83rd of his career.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Won't go Monday
Rotowire
Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Johnson will miss his second consecutive game after being diagnosed with left shoulder inflammation.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Sidelined Saturday
Rotowire
Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Johnson will miss his first game of the month due to left shoulder inflammation, snapping a consistent run of elite production. The versatile forward has been a triple-double threat every time he takes the floor, falling just one assist shy of his 14th triple-double of the season in Wednesday's win over Dallas. With Johnson sidelined, Jonathan Kuminga is the primary candidate to enter the starting lineup and should see a significant increase in usage.

Johnson got hot during the fourth quarter, scoring nine of his 21 points on 3-for-5 shooting, and he finished with a team-best plus-12 differential. The Hawks have now won a season-best eight straight games, which is their longest win streak in five years. They'll look to make it nine in a row Saturday versus the Bucks.

This was another day in the office for Johnson as he continues to post elite fantasy numbers. Overall this season, he's averaging 23.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers across 58 appearances.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Puts up 20 in easy win
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 win over the Bucks.
To illustrate how good Johnson has been this season, this was his third consecutive game without a double-double, which is his longest streak without achieving that feat since the start of the campaign, as he opened the 2025-26 season without a double-double until his fifth outing. It was also his fourth straight without a triple-double, and he hadn't gone four games without one since late January. Johnson's numbers might be a bit down compared to November or December, but he remains the absolute focal point of the Hawks' offensive scheme.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Johnson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Johnson is in danger of missing a second straight game due to left hip flexor irritation. If the star forward is ultimately ruled out, Jonathan Kuminga would likely remain in the starting five, while Mouhamed Gueye could continue seeing increased burn off the bench.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Johnson injured his hip during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, which resulted in more minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga. We'll have a better idea on Johnson's status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround, but if he's held out of that game, Kuminga would make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Leaves early with hip injury
Rotowire
Johnson won't return to Tuesday's game against the Wizards due to a left hip flexor injury. He finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two steals across six minutes.
Johnson sustained the hip injury in the first quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out shortly thereafter. With the star forward unavailable, Jonathan Kuminga and Mouhamed Gueye could see expanded playing time in Johnson's stead. Johnson's next opportunity to play will come Thursday in a rematch with Washington.

Although Johnson didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance, he got to the charity stripe often and finished with a game-high mark in points. The star forward also led the Hawks in rebounds while tying the game highs in assists and steals. Johnson continues to power Atlanta's offense and has now racked up two double-doubles and two triple-doubles over five January appearances. Additionally, he has logged three or more steals in three straight games.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Comes close to triple-double
Rotowire
Johnson accumulated 31 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 loss to the Hornets.
Johnson finished one rebound and two assists away from recording what would've been a triple-double -- a feat he's achieved regularly this season. The first-time All-Star is firmly entrenched as the Hawks' go-to option on offense and should continue to fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the court. Johnson was coming off three straight triple-doubles and has achieved that feat 10 times in 2025-26.

Johnson finished with 29 points (12-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and 11 assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 127-115 win over the Heat.
The star forward continues to reestablish himself after a brief adjustment period following the CJ McCollum trade. Johnson averaged just 12.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists during McCollum's first three games with the Hawks. In Johnson's six games since that period, he's averaged 25.0 points, 13.7 rebounds and 7.7 assists, reinforcing his status as a first-round value in nine-category formats.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Won't play Thursday

Johnson is out for Thursday's game against the Rockets due to left calf tightness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
After playing 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-106 victory over Boston, the star forward is sitting out the second half of this back-to-back. With Onyeka Okongwu (face) also ruled out, the Hawks are likely to ask more of Corey Kispert, Luke Kennard and Mouhamed Gueye in the frontcourt Thursday.
