Jalen Johnson To Miss Time
12 months agoAccording to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (wrist) will miss four to six weeks. The 21-year-old, who suffered a wrist injury during Saturday's meeting with the Washington Wizards, has averaged 12.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 blocks this season, all a significant increase from the 2022-23 campaign. Fortunately, he didn't suffer a fracture, as confirmed by an MRI, and surgery isn't required, meaning he might be out for only four weeks. Nonetheless, the Hawks will likely turn to Saddiq Bey to fill the void in the lineup, with the former Piston averaging 11.3 points in three starts this season.
