Onyeka Okongwu Out Of Walking Boot, Set For Re-Evaluation Next Week

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has ditched the walking boot and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. He will miss a ninth consecutive game on Friday versus the Grizzlies, but it looks like Okongwu could be good to go this time next week. Bruno Fernando has stepped into Okongwu's role as the backup center […]

Kobe Bufkin Out For Third Straight Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (toe) will miss a third straight game on Friday versus Memphis. His return isn't close either, as Bufkin is wearing a walking boot due to a big toe sprain and will be re-evaluated in 10 days. Bufkin's absence has given Trent Forrest a chance to work as the backup point […]

Jalen Johnson Ruled Out For Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (ankle) hasn't joined the team for Friday's visit to Memphis. Atlanta's breakout star hurt his right ankle in Wednesday's battle with the Cavaliers.

Kobe Bufkin Remains Out Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (toe) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Cleveland.
