Jalen Johnson Questionable for Hawks with Shoulder Soreness
Jalen Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks is dealing with shoulder soreness. His status is currently questionable, which means he might not play in the next game. This injury has been bothering him since January 4, and it remains uncertain if he will be ready to take the court.
What It Means
If Jalen Johnson cannot play, it could impact the Hawks significantly. He has been a key player this season, averaging 19.8 points per game and grabbing 10.1 rebounds per game. His shooting percentage stands at 51.2%, making him an important part of the team’s offense.
The team may have to rely more on Larry Nance Jr., who is second on the depth chart for power forwards. Nance averages 9.5 points per game and plays about 19 minutes each game. While he can step up, losing Johnson would mean less scoring and rebounding strength for the Hawks.
