  • Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Transferred to G League

    The Hawks assigned Dante (concussion) to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

    Dante is set to continue his recovery from a concussion in the G League. Even when he clears the protocol, however, Dante is more likely to stick with the Skyhawks than join the Hawks for meaningful playing time.

  • Hawks' Trae Young: Assigned to G League

    Atlanta assigned Young (knee) to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

    This is another step in the right direction for Young, whose been sidelined by a sprained MCL since late October. If Young gets through this rehab assignment without any issues, he could be cleared for a return at some point in December.

  • Hawks' Zaccharie Risacher: Makes impact as scorer Sunday

    Risacher accumulated 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 victory over the 76ers.

    The scoring output was strong, but Risacher continues to underwhelm as a whole and hasn't quite taken the leap some fantasy managers may have hoped for during his second season. The 2024 No. 1 overall pick doesn't appear to be in any danger of losing his starting role, but he's averaged just 9.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.6 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

  • Hawks' Vit Krejci: Provides spark off bench in win

    Krejci ended Sunday's 120-117 win over the 76ers with 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.

    While Krejci has a lone start to his name in 2025-26, his efficiency helped him stay relevant in nine-category fantasy leagues. Until Trae Young (knee) is cleared to suit up, Krejci should see enough minutes to supply streaming value in deeper setups. He's averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per contest across his last 12 outings, shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Another stellar showing

    Okongwu ended Sunday's 120-117 win over the 76ers with 20 points (6-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes.

    Okongwu grabbed a season-high 15 rebounds Sunday and is averaging 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.7 steals in 33.3 minutes per game over his past three appearances. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is slated to miss at least a few weeks and could be sidelined indefinitely, giving Okongwu a huge runway to continue his career-best campaign.

  • Hawks' Dyson Daniels: Double-doubles in win

    Daniels supplied 27 points (13-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 win over Philadelphia.

    Daniels set a new season high in scoring in this one, as he notched his second straight double-double and helped Atlanta earn their seventh straight victory over Philadelphia. Daniels will look to keep the good times rolling Thursday with a favorable matchup against the Hornets, but his offensive usage could take a hit, as Trae Young (knee) is nearing a return to game action.

  • Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Triple-doubles in win

    Johnson accumulated 12 points (5-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 victory over Philadelphia.

    This was Johnson's fourth straight triple-double, and the eighth of his career, which moved him to the No. 1 spot on Atlanta's all-time triple-double list. The 24-year-old forward is having a fantastic season, pumping out first-round value behind averages of 22.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.5 triples and 1.6 steals per game.

  • Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Cleared to play Sunday

    Alexander-Walker (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Alexander-Walker drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but he has been given the green light to play. The seventh-year pro is in the midst of a career year and is averaging 20.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.

  • Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Set to miss two weeks

    Porzingis will miss at least the next two weeks of action as he undergoes further evaluations for the illness he's dealing with, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Per Shams Charania of ESPN, Porzingis was diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), last season in Boston. He was able to find a treatment program over the summer that minimized the symptoms and came into the 2025-26 season healthy, but it seems the autonomic condition has flared up on him again. Onyeka Okongwu should continue to start with Porzingis out, and Mouhamed Gueye will be more involved in the rotation. It sounds like the earliest Porzingis could be expected to return would be Dec. 29 versus the Thunder.

  • Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Sitting Sunday

    Dante (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Dante has been in the league's concussion protocol since early December, and there isn't an established timeline for his return. His next chance to play is Thursday against Charlotte.

  • Hawks' Kristaps Porzingis: Not playing Sunday

    Porzingis (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Porzingis is set to miss a third consecutive game (and seventh over the Hawks' last eight games) due to an illness, and his next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Hornets. Onyeka Okongwu will likely continue to work in an expanded role for as long as Porzingis is out of action.

  • Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Nursing ankle sprain

    Alexander-Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

    Alexander-Walker is nursing a sprained right ankle that he presumably sustained during the Hawks' 142-115 loss to the Pistons on Friday. Luke Kennard, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci would all be in line for increased roles if Alexander-Walker is not cleared to play Sunday.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Hawks' Trae Young: Set to return to practice

    The Hawks announced Saturday that Young (knee) is expected to return to practice next week.

    Young has been sidelined by a sprained MCL in his right knee since late October, but it appears the All-Star point guard has progressed enough in his recovery to return to practice. He'll need to go through multiple 5-on-5 practice sessions before being given the green light to play, but even when he does return, he'll likely operate on a minutes restriction to ease his way back into game shape. Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jalen Johnson will continue to operate in larger roles on offense in Young's absence.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Stuffs stat sheet in loss

    Okongwu provided 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists, four blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 142-115 loss to the Pistons.

    Okongwu had a mixed performance in a blowout loss to the Pistons, recording a season high in blocks and turnovers. The USC product leads the league with three games collecting at least two steals and three blocks in the same game. The big man has scored in double figures in all but three games this season and remains a steady source of points, rebounds, and stocks, especially when Kristaps Porzingis (illness) misses time.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Hawks' Asa Newell: Scores 10 points in blowout loss

    Newell closed Friday's 142-115 loss to the Pistons with 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes.

    Newell has scored in double figures in each of his last three appearances, during which he has missed only four of his 17 shots from the field. The 20-year-old forward has played at least 12 minutes in all three of those outings due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being unavailable, and Newell is making a case to stick in the rotation whenever Porzingis is out. Newell is averaging 4.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists across 9.0 minutes per contest in 16 regular-season games thus far.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Team-high 22 points in loss

    Alexander-Walker amassed 22 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and two rebounds across 31 minutes during Friday's 142-115 loss to Detroit.

    Alexander-Walker led Atlanta in scoring in the blowout loss, delivering another efficient shooting performance. It was also his first game this season without an assist and his eighth with two or fewer rebounds. The 27-year-old guard has excelled as a scorer with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points in 10 of the team's last 13 outings, knocking down multiple triples in all but one game over that stretch.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Logs another triple-double

    Johnson supplied 19 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 assists, 11 rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes in Friday's 142-115 loss to the Pistons.

    Johnson struggled with efficiency but still finished as Atlanta's second-leading scorer. The 23-year-old forward led the Hawks in assists and boards, matching the team-high mark in steals as well. Johnson already owns the franchise record for most triple-doubles in a single season and is now tied with Mookie Blaylock for the most total triple-doubles in franchise history. Johnson is the first Hawk to record three such outings in a row. He has logged four triple-doubles and two double-doubles over his last six outings.
