Hawks' Trae Young: Optimistic about December return
Young (knee) is optimistic about a December return, ESPN's Shams Charania reports Tuesday.
"The Hawks have gone 12-8 without Young in the lineup, and they believe his fit with a rising core in Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu will elevate the team," Charania adds. Young suffered a sprained MCL back on Oct. 29, and he's due to be re-evaluated at some point in mid-December. It still seems unlikely that he will be available for Friday's game against Detroit, to be clear.

Hawks' Jacob Toppin: Undergoes season-ending surgery
The Hawks announced that Toppin underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery Monday.
The procedure was done to repair a torn labrum in Toppin's right shoulder that he sustained while playing for the G League's College Park Skyhawks in late November. The third-year forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hawks this past summer, so it remains to be seen if Atlanta will be interested in retaining Toppin during free agency in the 2026 offseason. While he saw very little action with the parent club this season, the 25-year-old forward averaged 18.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.0 minutes per contest across five G League outings.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Scoreless again in win
Wallace notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across four minutes during Saturday's 131-116 win over the Wizards.
Wallace was used sparingly again, failing to score for the third time in the past four games. Despite the fact that Atlanta is dealing with multiple injuries, Wallace has been unable to carve out a meaningful role for himself. In 23 regular-season appearances, he has averaged just 4.3 points, 2.8 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 14.6 minutes per game.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Lands four triples in win
Krejci supplied 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 31 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 win over the Wizards.
Krejci scored an efficient 14 points, hitting at least four three-pointers for the second straight game. His playing time and subsequent value are almost completely reliant on his shooting splits, making him a hard player to trust outside of streaming situations. Through 21 games, he is averaging 10.1 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Second straight triple-double
Johnson totaled 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Saturday's 131-116 victory over the Wizards.
Johnson was at it again, recording his second straight triple-double and fourth of the season. He now surpasses Doc Rivers for the most triple-doubles in a single season in franchise history, a record that has stood since the 1987-88 season. Johnson continues to be the engine that powers the Hawks, averaging 23.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 three-pointers through his first 22 regular-season games, which is good enough for top-10 value in standard fantasy leagues.

Hawks' Jacob Toppin: Won't play Saturday
Toppin (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Saturday will be the sixth straight game on the inactive list for Toppin, and the Hawks haven't released any updates about his recovery, so he should be viewed as week-to-week moving forward. The two-way player is not a consistent part of the Hawks' rotation, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire in all redraft leagues.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Out again Saturday
Dante (concussion) will remain on the inactive list for Saturday's game versus Washington, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Dante is currently going through the league's concussion protocol, and he will not be cleared to return until he passes a series of tests. He's a negligible part of the Hawks' rotation, though, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Hawks' Trae Young: Remains out indefinitely
Young (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Wizards and remains out indefinitely, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Young hasn't played since Oct. 29 while he rehabs from a sprained left MCL. The Hawks announced at the end of November that the star point guard would be re-evaluated sometime in mid-December, but until more information is available, Young can be considered doubtful for Atlanta's NBA Cup consolation schedule.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Won't play Saturday
Porzingis (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Porzingis will return to the sidelines for rest purposes on the second leg of a back-to-back set Saturday, which should open up some more minutes for Mouhamed Gueye. Porzingis' next chance to return to action will come Friday against the Pistons.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Stays hot in loss
Alexander-Walker totaled 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to the Nuggets.
Alexander-Walker delivered an efficient shooting performance en route to a team-high 30 points, albeit in a losing effort. The 27-year-old swingman also chipped in five or more three-pointers for the fourth time in his last five games after shooting just 2-for-7 from downtown in Thursday's loss to the Clippers. He has been on fire of late, scoring at least 21 points in each of his last five outings.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Productive off bench in loss
Porzingis (illness) racked up 25 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to Denver.
Porzingis returned from a four-game absence due to an illness Friday, though he was deployed off the bench for the first time this season. Still, the veteran big man finished as the team's second-leading scorer, providing 20-plus points for the sixth time across 13 regular-season appearances. He also tied his season-high mark in triples, which he set in the team's season-opening loss to the Raptors on Oct. 22.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Monster triple-double in loss
Johnson supplied 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 18 rebounds, 16 assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 134-133 loss to the Nuggets.
Johnson stuffed the stat sheet and became the first Hawks player in franchise history to record a triple-double in a single half, albeit in a losing effort. The rising star tied his career high in rebounds and set a new one in assists while finishing as the team's third-leading scorer. Friday's contest marked his third triple-double in just 21 regular-season games, matching Doc Rivers (1987-88) for the most in a single season in franchise history. Additionally, Johnson has now scored at least 20 points in four straight games and 16 times on the campaign.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Coming off bench
Porzingis is active but not starting Friday's game against the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Porzingis has been cleared to return from a four-game absence due to illness, but he'll be under a minutes restriction and will come off the bench. He had started in all 12 of his appearances this season. Porzingis is averaging 18.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.6 blocks across 26.3 minutes per game. Onyeka Okongwu will start at center Friday.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Headed to bench
Gueye will come off the bench for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Jalen Johnson is back and starting and Kristaps Porzingis will be working with the second unit, so it could be tough for Gueye to find meaningful minutes Friday evening. He's a risky target with the Hawks' frontcourt healthy again.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Cleared to face Nuggets
Johnson (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson had been labeled questionable for the contest due to right calf tightness, an issue that prevented him from playing in Atlanta's previous game, but he'll be available Friday night. Johnson is in the midst of the best season of his career, and he's averaging 23.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.6 steals across 34.9 minutes per game.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Available to play
Porzingis (illness) will be available to play Friday versus the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Porzingis is back after a four-game absence, and his return will likely result in Onyeka Okongwu heading back to the second unit. Porzingis will have his minutes monitored in his first game back, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com, but he's still a must-start player whenever he's available.

Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Active at shootaround
Porzingis, who's officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to an illness, was spotted getting shots up after the Hawks' morning shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Porzingis has missed four straight games due to an illness, allowing Onyeka Okongwu to see extended action. This past offseason, Porzingis was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, commonly referred to as POTS, and it can be a recurring ailment that zaps a person's energy. If Porzingis is cleared to suit up Friday, he'll likely face heavy restrictions for at least a few games.
