The Atlanta Hawks hold a 12-16 record, placing them outside the playoff contention at the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference. On a positive note, there’s a possibility of Jalen Johnson coming back from a wrist injury as early as Tuesday.
Johnson has been sidelined since November 25 due to a left wrist fracture. Before the injury, he had started in 12 out of 15 games for the Hawks, showcasing career-high performances in various aspects of his game.
Standing at 6 feet 8 inches, the forward averaged 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1 block per game. The absence of Johnson has also taken a toll on Atlanta’s team defense.
