Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Quiet in preseason opener
Daniels finished with six points (2-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Daniels struggled from three-point range and the charity stripe before sitting out the second half along with most of Atlanta's starters. Despite the quiet opener, Daniels should continue filling a prominent two-way role for the Hawks this season.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Struggles with shot
Johnson recorded eight points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Memphis.
Johnson struggled with his shot but was perfect from the charity stripe before Atlanta shut down most of its starters in the second half. The 24-year-old remains one of the Hawks' primary offensive options and should continue providing strong all-around production during the regular season.

Hawks' Zuby Ejiofor: Gets extended run
Ejiofor recorded five points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to Memphis.
Ejiofor didn't enter until the second half but received a decent look once Atlanta turned the game over to its reserves. The rookie remains buried in a crowded frontcourt and will likely need to impress during the preseason to carve out a role.

Hawks' Jalen Wilson: Provides 12 off bench
Wilson finished with 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one steal in 15 minutes during Monday's preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Wilson did most of his damage late, knocking down a pair of threes as Atlanta's reserves attempted to close the gap in the fourth quarter. He faces considerable competition for wing minutes but made a solid first impression in the preseason opener.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Hits three in preseason opener
Okongwu finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 14 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to Memphis.
Okongwu started at center and knocked down one of his two attempts from beyond the arc. He should remain Atlanta's starting center this season and could provide a boost to his fantasy value if his expanded perimeter shooting carries into the regular season.

Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Decent output in spot start
Flemings registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Flemings drew the start Monday due to the absence of CJ McCollum (nose) and logged the most minutes among Atlanta's starters, giving the rookie an extended opportunity in his preseason debut. He struggled with efficiency, committing three turnovers and recording just two assists, and his free-throw shooting was also subpar. However, Flemings is a candidate to see steady minutes off the bench in the Hawks' backcourt despite his rookie status, though his role throughout the remainder of the preseason will be worth monitoring.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Goes for 14 in preseason opener
Alexander-Walker supplied 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Alexander-Walker drew the start and was productive during his abbreviated stint on the hardwood, reaching 14 points on only nine field-goal attempts. The 28-year-old is coming off a breakout 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 20.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and he should remain an important piece of Atlanta's backcourt in 2026-27, even if his minutes are limited in preseason.

Hawks' Corey Kispert: Scores 19 points in preseason loss
Kispert contributed 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Kispert made the most of his 20 minutes off the bench, led Atlanta in scoring, and also set a team high with four threes. The sharpshooter made the most of his limited workload, needing only 11 field-goal attempts to produce 19 points. Kispert's ability to stretch the floor should keep him firmly in Atlanta's rotation, though his fantasy value will depend on whether he can provide enough production outside of scoring and three-pointers.

Hawks' Keshon Gilbert: Logs 15 minutes in preseason loss
Gilbert (hip) posted two points (1-3 FG), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 15 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Gilbert ended the Las Vegas Summer League on the inactive list with a hip issue, though he returned to action in the Hawks' preseason opener. The 23-year-old is signed to a two-way pact and figures to spend the majority of his time with Atlanta's G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks.

Hawks' Asa Newell: Pops for double-double
Newell finished with 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to Memphis.
Newell put together an impressive showing off the bench, as he shot the basketball with efficiency and crashed the glass for a team-high 12 rebounds. The Georgia product is in the mix for an increased role heading into the 2026-27 campaign, and Monday's performance will certainly help his case.

Hawks' RayJ Dennis: Scores 12 points in preseason loss
Dennis (Achilles) supplied 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 18 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.
Dennis ended the Las Vegas Summer League on the inactive list due to a right Achilles issue, though he returned to game action Monday. The two-way player was one of six Hawks players to score in double figures, and he also tied for the team lead in steals. He's expected to spend the majority of the 2026-27 campaign with the Hawks' G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks.

Hawks' Isaac McKneely: Held out Monday
McKneely (shoulder) didn't play in Monday's preseason game against Memphis.
McKneely, who signed to an Exhibit 10 deal with Atlanta in June, has been sidelined with a shoulder injury. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Thursday in San Antonio.

Hawks' Aaron Wiggins: Shut down with cut lip
Wiggins won't return to Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies due to a cut to his inner lip. He'll end with seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 11 minutes.
This appears to be a minor injury for Wiggins, but the Hawks will play it safe by sitting him down for the remainder of the matchup. He can be considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's exhibition against San Antonio.

Hawks' Kingston Flemings: Gets starting nod in preseason opener
Flemings will start Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
With CJ McCollum (nose) unavailable, Flemings will draw the start in his preseason debut. The rookie will be joined in the first unit by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu.

Hawks' Luguentz Dort: Won't play Monday
Dort won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies due to a right knee contusion, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The veteran swingman will be held out of Atlanta's preseason opener, leaving more minutes available for the likes of Corey Kispert, Aaron Wiggins and Jalen Wilson. Dort's next chance to play in the preseason will come Thursday against the Spurs.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Won't play Monday
McCollum is out for Monday's preseason opener against the Grizzlies due to a nose contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
McCollum is dealing with a bruised nose and will skip Monday's exhibition, but it shouldn't affect his status for the regular-season opener. His next chance to play will come Thursday in San Antonio.

Hawks' Cameron Corhen: Signs with Atlanta
Corhen signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Corhen didn't hear his name called in this year's draft but will get the chance to compete for a spot on the Hawks' regular-season roster during training camp. The organization also holds his G League rights. Over 33 games at Pittsburgh in 2025-26, he averaged 13.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.8 minutes per showing.

Hawks' Kobe Johnson: Joining Atlanta for training camp
Johnson signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Johnson is set to join Atlanta for training camp, though the Hawks could waive him at any time since they own his G League rights. Over 32 appearances for the G League's College Park Skyhawks last season, he averaged 14.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 30.6 minutes per tilt.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Looking to make another leap
Hawks president of basketball operations Onsi Saleh said Johnson has "multiple levels he can raise his game to" as the forward continues his development, Malik Brown of ClutchPoints.com reports.
"Jalen's really hard on himself, and we're hard on Jalen because we think he has multiple levels he can raise his game to," Saleh said. The comments suggest Atlanta will continue pushing Johnson to expand his game, and he's up for the challenge. Look for Atlanta's franchise player to be heavily involved on both ends of the court this season.

Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Shot expected to improve
Hawks president of basketball operations Onsi Saleh called Daniels "one of the most impactful players in the NBA" and an "all-world defender" while expressing confidence that his shooting will improve, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Daniels remained highly productive across the board in 2025-26, averaging 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.0 steals in 33.2 minutes across 76 regular-season appearances, but he connected on just 18.8 percent of his 1.5 three-point attempts per game. Despite the lack of perimeter shooting, Daniels shot 51.7 percent overall and earned a spot on the All-Defensive Second Team. Atlanta's continued confidence in his offensive development is encouraging heading into 2026-27.
