Jalen Johnson Out for Hawks with Right Shoulder Soreness
Jalen Johnson is dealing with right shoulder soreness and will not play for the Atlanta Hawks. The injury has kept him off the court, affecting his ability to contribute to the team. This issue has been ongoing, as he was previously listed as questionable due to the same problem.
What It Means
Johnson’s absence is a significant setback for the Hawks. He has been a key player this season, averaging 19.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. His shooting percentage stands at 50.9%, making him an efficient scorer for the team.
The Hawks will need to rely on other players in his position while he recovers. Larry Nance Jr., who averages 9.5 points per game, may see increased minutes in Johnson’s absence. Mouhamed Gueye could also get more playing time, although he averages just 1 point per game.
