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: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Johnson has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a left hip flexor injury. With Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) both cleared to return, that should result in both Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga reverting to bench roles for Sunday's contest. Johnson averaged 25.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.4 steals over 37.1 minutes per game in February.

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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Johnson supplied 32 points (9-22 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 14-16 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 38 minutes in Thursday's 117-107 win over the 76ers.
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.

Johnson looked fresh in his return from a one-game absence, recording his 35th double-double of the season, which put him just one behind Karl-Anthony Towns for the most double-doubles in the league this year. This was also the third time this season that Johnson ripped away at least four steals in a game.

Rotowire
Johnson (knee) is available for Wednesday's game in Charlotte, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Asa Newell heading back to the second unit. Mouhamed Gueye's minutes figure to dip with Johnson active and CJ McCollum likely won't be as active on offense.

Johnson (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Johnson is questionable for Monday's game against Minnesota with left knee inflammation.
Johnson is a late addition to the injury report, which is generally a bad sign. If the star forward can't play, more playing time would open up for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher in the Atlanta frontcourt.

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
Rotowire
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.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Johnson chipped in 32 points (10-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 15 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 victory over Memphis.
Johnson recorded his 29th double-double of the season as he helped the Hawks snap a four-game skid, and he joined Bob Pettit as the only players in franchise history with multiple games of 30-plus points, 15-plus rebounds and eight-plus assists. After a brief lull, Johnson has been hot over his last two outings, posting 20-plus points with double-digit rebounds in both. He'll look to keep the momentum going Friday versus Phoenix.

Rotowire
Johnson supplied 19 points (9-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one block in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Johnson didn't have his best statistical outing in the win, finishing with more turnovers (six) than assists for just the fourth time this season. His five dimes marked his lowest since Nov. 7, but he still extended his streak of games with at least five assists to 27, the third-longest in the league this season. The star forward should continue to rack up the counting stats with star point guard Trae Young traded to the Wizards on Wednesday. Johnson has averaged 25.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks in 36.4 minutes per contest over his last 11 games.

Johnson struggled from the field during Monday's loss but finished as the game's leading rebounder. He recorded his 25th double-double of the season and was three dimes shy from recording his eighth triple-double. The fifth-year pro has averaged 24.7 points, 11.0 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.1 steals over 36.4 minutes per game in his last 15 outings.

Rotowire
Johnson notched 30 points (10-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes in Saturday's 134-117 loss to the Raptors.
Johnson saw his streak of games with a double-double or a triple-double snap at 12, but he still posted an impressive stat line while reaching the 30-point mark for the second time in his last three games. Johnson has scored at least 30 points seven times this season, and he should remain as the Hawks' go-to option on offense, even ahead of Trae Young.

Johnson notched 18 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 111-99 win over the Knicks.
Johnson has been a triple-double machine this season, and by now, it seems he's a candidate to achieve this goal every time he steps on the hardwood. He has posted either a triple-double (six) or a double-double (nine) in each of his last 15 appearances, and unsurprisingly, he's averaging a triple-double over that stretch with 26.4 points, 11.3 rebounds and 10.1 assists per contest.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Johnson (illness) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
After sitting out Monday's loss to the Thunder with an illness, Johnson is seemingly feeling better and is set to play Wednesday. Vit Krejci will likely slide back to the bench as a result. Johnson has been on a tear of late, averaging 26.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 10.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 37.4 minutes per contest over his last 13 appearances.
