According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Atlanta Hawks forwardJalen Johnson(shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. The 23-year-old was having the best season of his career, averaging 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals before suffering the injury. Players likeKeaton Wallace, Vit Krejci, De'Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic could also see a bump in fantasy production with Johnson out.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is sidelined indefinitely. The 23-year-old has had the best season of his career, averaging 18.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.6 steals. He recently missed time because of right shoulder inflammation. However, Johnson exited Thursday's loss to the Toronto Raptors after sustaining a left shoulder injury. He'll undergo further testing, with the team providing an update "as appropriate." Trae Young and De'Andre Hunter have benefited the most in games without Johnson in the lineup. But players like Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci could also see a bump in fantasy production.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is good to go for Thursday's meeting with the Raptors. The 23-year-old missed time recently because of shoulder inflammation. While the ailment has kept him on the injury report since returning, it won't keep him off the floor against Toronto. With that in mind, Johnson is a must-start versus the Raptors, a team that has allowed 117.9 points per contest during the 2024-25 campaign, the fifth-worst mark in the NBA.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is probable for Thursday night's home game against the Raptors. He missed five games earlier this month while playing through shoulder soreness but has been able to play each of the last three games for the Hawks. He has played at least 35 minutes in those games and posted a double-double in road games against the Celtics and Knicks. He finished one rebound short of another double-double on Wednesday against the Pistons, totaling 17 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in his 38 minutes. It appears as if he'll continue to play through the injury and be good to go on the second game of the back-to-back and will be in a favorable matchup on Thursday night.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will be active against Detroit on Wednesday. He has shaken off a questionable tag ahead of the contest and will take the court for a third consecutive game. Johnson recently missed five games due to shoulder inflammation, and his shooting has been off since his return. Atlanta's rising star has managed only 9-for-25 from the field over the past two games. He has finished four consecutive appearances without at least 20 points for the first time this season.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the visiting Pistons. He missed five games because of right shoulder inflammation. However, the 23-year-old has appeared in Atlanta's previous two contests, amassing a double-double in both. Atlanta will play the Raptors on Thursday, so head coach Quin Snyder may hold him out for precautionary reasons. If that's the case, there's several directions Snyder could go as far as the starting unit is concerned. But it's logical to assume De'Andre Hunter, Vit Krejci, and Dyson Daniels could benefit, although Trae Young would remain the favorite to lead the team in scoring.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has officially been upgraded from probable to available on Monday and will play in his second game back from a five-game absence. The 23-year-old returned on Saturday against the Boston Celtics to the tune of 14 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block across 38 minutes. Johnson is a quality start in all fantasy formats as he usually stuffs the stat sheet, especially when Trae Young is on the court as well. It could be more of a defensive battle against the Knicks on Monday as he'll likely go up against OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Johnson has been dealing with right shoulder inflammation that caused him to miss five games in a row before returning against Boston on Saturday. Johnson has been fantastic for the Hawks this year, averaging 19.7 PPG and 10.2 RPG. His 5.2 APG is a career high as well, making him a very well-rounded fantasy threat. The 23-year-old grabbed 15 rebounds in both matchups against New York this season while also averaging 22.0 PPG, making him a must start in all fantasy formats on Monday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Celtics. The 23-year-old is having a fantastic season, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks. He missed the last five games because of shoulder inflammation. But even if Johnson doesn't suit up on Saturday night, the questionable tag at least suggests he's moving in the right direction toward a return. De'Andre Hunter (foot), who is probable after missing the last two games, will be in line to start if Johnson doesn't play versus Boston. Yet, if Hunter is out as well, David Roddy, averaging 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals in two starts this season, would likely take over at the four spot.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not be available when the Hawks host the Suns on Tuesday. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 19.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, but he has missed four of the last five games for the Hawks, including each of their last three games. Atlanta's Saturday matchup against the Rockets was postponed due to weather, so they'll actually end up facing the Suns in consecutive games. Last Thursday when Johnson was also out, Vit Krejci made a third straight start and played 26 minutes, producing 12 points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal. Krejci should be a serviceable streaming option and DFS value while Johnson is out. Johnson's next chance to return will be Wednesday when the Hawks finish their back-to-back against the Bulls.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets. Initially, his right shoulder inflammation wasn't too concerning for fantasy managers. However, Johnson will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday, so most are hoping he won't be on the shelf much longer. It's unfortunate, especially since the 23-year-old is averaging career-highs in points (19.8), rebounds (10.1), assists (5.3), blocks (1.1), and steals (1.5). But until he's back on the floor, Trae Young (Achilles), Dyson Daniels, and De'Andre Hunter should benefit the most on the offensive end.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson has been trying to play through shoulder inflammation, but he will be sidelined for Tuesday's matchup against the Jazz. It will be his second straight absence for the Hawks, and his third in the last four games. Johnson is having a breakout season, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists while shooting over 50% from the field and posting a 22.6% usage rate that ranks third on the team. The Hawks have dropped three straight, and without Johnson, they'll turn to De'Andre Hunter to pick up some extra workload while Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci also see expanded roles. Krejci started in Johnson's spot on Saturday and produced nine points, two rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 28 minutes.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Johnson will now miss his second game in the last three contests due to right shoulder soreness. The absence of Johnson means that both Garrison Mathews and De'Andre Hunter will see increased roles on Saturday. Hunter posted a dud his last time out, but has finished with 20 points or more in four of his last five games. The absence of Johnson should mean more minutes for Hunter which should make him a valuable streaming option for Saturday's slate.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) was upgraded from questionable to available for Friday night's matchup with the Lakers. The breakout forward missed Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets but will be back in the lineup as the Hawks try to knock off the Lakers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Johnson has averaged 19.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in his 31 games this season and has been on pace with those numbers recently as well. He had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists in his first game against the Lakers this season, but his scoring has been trending up lately, setting him up as a good play in the late game on Friday night.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's road game against the Lakers, according to Kevin Chouinard of Hawks.com. Johnson is having a breakthrough season and has been able to play in 31 of the team's 34 games. He was sidelined on Wednesday in Denver for the Hawks'19-point loss but will hope to return as the team's trip to the West continues. In his 11 December games, the former Duke Blue Devil averaged 19.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.9 steals in 36.5 minutes per game. Since the Lakers will be on the second night of a back-to-back, it could be a good chance for the Hawks to get a big win in Los Angeles, and Johnson will be a strong play if he's able to return. If not, Garrison Mathews could get another start with more time for Vit Krejci, De'Andre Hunter, and David Roddy as well.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has officially been ruled out of Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. Johnson was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day due to right shoulder soreness and won't be able to suit up tonight as a result. The 23-year-old has only missed two games this season while putting up a strong season that's put him at the forefront of the Most Improved Player award discussion. In his absence expect De'Andre Hunter to see extended minutes as well as increased usage for Dyson Daniels, who is returning to the Hawks' lineup after a two-game absence. Daniels provides a strong defensive presence and will reward fantasy owners in need of steals while Hunter is the more solid fantasy and DFS option.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) has been added to the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Denver. He's been labeled as questionable due to right shoulder soreness. Johnson's third absence of the season could mean a larger role for De'Andre Hunter, who is among the league's most productive bench scorers. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci will also be expected to play more prominent roles, though they struggle to produce fantasy value consistently.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Bucks. The 23-year-old has had an excellent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 19.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.1 blocks. He's also missed only two games after appearing in 56 last season. With that in mind, Johnson is a must-start fantasy option, although his presence will mean fewer scoring opportunities and minutes for De'Andre Hunter (knee), who was also cleared to suit up for Saturday's NBA Cup contest.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) might miss a second straight game on Wednesday versus the Knicks. He's been listed as questionable on the injury report. Following back-to-back double-doubles, Johnson exited the lineup on Sunday against Denver due to a sore shoulder. This pushed Larry Nance Jr. to the starting lineup for only the second time this season. Nance Jr. hasn't played a lot for the Hawks, but the veteran forward proved that he can get the job done. He finished with 16 points, four rebounds, three assists, and a couple of steals.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not play in Sunday's clash against Denver. After picking up a questionable tag due to a sore right shoulder, Johnson has been ruled out for the contest ahead of tip-off. This is quite a blow for the streaking Hawks, who have seen Johnson grow into one of the leaders of the team this season. He's averaging nearly a double-double with 19.8 points and 9.9 rebounds. De'Andre Hunter and Zaccharie Risacher will need to do more to compensate for Johnson's absence, and Trae Young, who's focused on playmaking lately, might work more as a scorer on Sunday.
