Jonathan Kuminga in Danger of Missing Third Consecutive Game

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee, and it might sideline Kuminga for a third consecutive game. Kuminga's absence from the rotation has given Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye a chance to stake a claim for more playing time, but none of the trio has stepped up. The Hawks are increasingly depending on their starters as they chase a playoff spot.

Jalen Johnson Back on Sunday Night

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) will play on Sunday versus Portland. He suffered a left hip injury during Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Washington Wizards, keeping him off the floor for the rematch on Thursday evening. Jonathan Kuminga got the start in that one, ending with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block. While Kuminga may head back to the bench, he still offers plenty of upside for fantasy managers due to the favorable matchup on the horizon.

Zaccharie Risacher Available Against Washington

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (hip) will play on Thursday versus Washington. He was listed on the injury report because of a hip contusion after amassing nine points and nine boards when these clubs met on Tuesday night. With Jalen Johnson (hip) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) both ruled out, Risacher has an excellent opportunity to get more involved against one of the worst defensive squads in the National Basketball Association. Still, his volatility throughout the campaign makes him hard to trust.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Won't Play on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) won't play in Thursday's rematch with Washington. The Hawks are also down Jalen Johnson (hip), meaning there will be plenty of shots up for grabs. There are several directions head coach Quin Snyder can go regarding the starting lineup. However, CJ McCollum, Onyeka Okongwu, and Jonathan Kuminga may be the most productive from a fantasy standpoint no matter who gets the start. Kuminga looked fantastic in his first game in Atlanta, amassing 27 points, seven boards, and two steals in 24 minutes.

Jalen Johnson Listed as Out on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) was initially questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, but has been downgraded to out. He tweaked his hip in Tuesday's win over Washington and will miss the rematch Thursday. Without him, new Hawks addition Jonathan Kuminga will carry a large workload. In his Hawks' debut on Tuesday, Kuminga impressed with 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. In the same matchup on Thursday, Kuminga has a very high ceiling. Zaccharie Risacher (hip) could also get extra work if he plays through his own questionable tag in this favorable spot

Zaccharie Risacher Dealing With Hip Issue, Questionable for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's action against the Washington Wizards. He is dealing with a right hip contusion and may depart the lineup after tallying nine points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 28 minutes against the Wizards on Tuesday. Jalen Johnson (hip) is also questionable for the game, meaning we could see a lot more of Jonathan Kuminga and Corey Kispert on Thursday night. Kuminga was very impressive in his Hawks debut on Tuesday, totalling 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 24 minutes.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Tagged as Questionable for Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. He has landed on the injury report with a sprained left foot. Jalen Johnson (hip) is also questionable for Thursday's action, and the Hawks' offense could have a completely different dynamic if both Alexander-Walker and Johnson miss the game. CJ McCollum and Jonathan Kuminga would handle more of the offense, while Corey Kispert and Gabe Vincent could see their minutes increase. There might be a larger role for Zaccharie Risacher (hip) as well, but he's also questionable to play.

Jalen Johnson Could Miss Thursday's Rematch

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards after tweaking his hip in Tuesday's win. If the 24-year-old sits, Jonathan Kuminga would be positioned for a significant role, with a possible move into the starting lineup. In his Hawks debut, Kuminga erupted for 27 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals, and three three-pointers in 25 minutes. The matchup aided the stat line, but the opportunity is real with Johnson limited. Zaccharie Risacher (hip) could also see added run if active, while Onyeka Okongwu may absorb more frontcourt usage.

Jalen Johnson Suffers Hip Injury

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson suffered a left hip flexor injury in Tuesday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. He played only six minutes, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and two steals. Johnson's early exit gave Jonathan Kuminga a chance to shine. He had 27 points in 24 minutes during his Hawks debut. Zaccharie Risacher also benefits from Johnson's absence. The French sophomore went close to a double-double on Tuesday night. It's unclear whether Johnson can suit up on Thursday when the Hawks have a rematch against Washington.

Jonathan Kuminga Set to Make Hawks Debut on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will suit up against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Kuminga was previously considered questionable due to a knee bone bruise, but he has since been cleared to play. The 23-year-old has yet to suit up for the Hawks and would likely have his minutes restricted in his debut. With Kuminga now in the mix, Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert, and Mouhamed Gueye could see their minutes on the floor reduced moving forward.

Jonathan Kuminga Questionable Against Wizards

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington as he nears clearance following a knee bone bruise. The 23-year-old has yet to suit up for Atlanta and would likely face a controlled workload if active after an extended absence. His return could trim bench minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert. Risacher logged seven points in 20 minutes last game, while Kispert added nine points in 13 minutes. Kuminga is a speculative add in deeper leagues, though managers should expect a gradual role increase rather than immediate standard-league impact.

Jonathan Kuminga to Be Re-Evaluated in One Week

Atlanta Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately one week as he continues rehabbing a left knee bone bruise, the team announced Wednesday. The injury occurred Jan. 22, and Kuminga will miss at least the next stretch of games before another update. His delayed debut keeps minutes open on the wing. Corey Kispert has averaged 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.8 threes in 25.4 minutes over his last eight games, while Zaccharie Risacher is posting 10.5 points and 1.5 threes in 24.2 minutes across 42 contests. Both are viable deeper-league streamers but remain fringe options until Kuminga is cleared.

Zaccharie Risacher Upgraded to Available

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (quadriceps) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The French forward was initially considered questionable due to a left quadriceps contusion. Risacher has struggled to regain form since returning from a knee injury, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 21.5 minutes per game this month. However, this stretch includes a strong 18-point, three-block performance against Charlotte on Feb. 7.

Dyson Daniels Available Against Hornets

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He was initially listed as questionable for the game after Daniels missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with an ankle issue. CJ McCollum had a big 38-point performance on Monday as Daniels' replacement in the first unit. The veteran is set to land back on the bench for Wednesday's action, but McCollum will still play an important role for the team. Daniels has averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in three matchups with the Hornets this season.

Jalen Johnson Returns to Action Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (knee) has received the green light to play on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's loss to Minnesota with a knee problem and was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest. With Johnson back, Asa Newell must settle for a bench role. Johnson has had an extraordinary campaign, saving some of his best performances for the Hornets. In three meetings with Charlotte, Johnson has averaged 34.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, and 1.7 steals.

Zaccharie Risacher Iffy for Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Zaccharie Risacher (quadriceps) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's encounter with the Charlotte Hornets. The French talent recently returned from a knee injury and is now nursing a left quadriceps contusion. Risacher hasn't been in good condition to play, averaging only 7.0 points on 32.4 percent shooting since returning to the lineup. If Risacher isn't in the lineup on Wednesday, Atlanta may use Corey Kispert or Buddy Hield as his replacement in the first unit. With Jalen Johnson (knee) and Dyson Daniels (ankle) out, Kispert already saw increased playing time in Monday's loss to Minnesota, recording 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one steal across 31 minutes.

Dyson Daniels May Miss Another Game Due to Ankle Issue

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Dyson Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Charlotte Hornets. The versatile Australian continues to battle inflammation in his right ankle, which kept him out of Monday's matchup against Minnesota. Daniels' absence allowed CJ McCollum to start, and the veteran had an outstanding performance with a game-high 38 points in 33 minutes. At the same time, Corey Kisper got additional burn off the bench and contributed 12 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and one block in 31 minutes.

Jalen Johnson Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Charlotte Hornets. He is facing a second consecutive absence due to left knee inflammation. With Johnson unavailable, Asa Newell got the nod to start on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had a limited role in the contest, notching two points, four rebounds, and one assist in 25 minutes. Mouhamed Gueye is also in a position to see more action, but he was ejected from Monday's game early in the fourth quarter.

Dyson Daniels Questionable for Monday Due to Ankle Issue

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is currently dealing with inflammation in his right ankle, and Daniels may be out for only the third time this season. If that's the case, CJ McCollum is likely to land a starting role for Monday night, with Buddy Hield and Gabe Vincent potentially also more involved in the action. McCollum has made a decent start to life in Atlanta, averaging 17.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists in 27.9 minutes.

Buddy Hield • SF • Hawks

Buddy Hield to Make Team Debut on Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Buddy Hield is set to make his team debut versus the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. Hield and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) were part of a trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) to the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Hield is ready to make his debut, but doesn't have a clear path to consistent playing time. He'll likely compete with CJ McCollum and Gabe Vincent for backup guard minutes. Before the trade, Hield was averaging 8.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 17.5 minutes per game this season. He might see an uptick in value with the Hawks, but not enough to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.
