Hawks’ Jalen Johnson has torn labrum; report says he’ll miss rest of season
Hawks fans now know the extent of forward Jalen Johnson’s left shoulder injury. The 23-year-old has suffered a torn labrum in left shoulder, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Multiple reports have said that Johnson will miss the remainder of the season because of the injury.
Johnson has averaged 18.9 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, 1.6 steals and one block per game for the Hawks this season.
His injury to the Hawks comes as a huge blow because of impact on the team on both ends of the floor.
Johnson has built himself into the team’s second-best scorer because of his efficiency around the rim. He also has been instrumental in setting the fast pace that the Hawks want to play with because he can push the ball out in transition after they get stops.
The Hawks have struggled in Johnson’s absence, as they have averaged 7.5 points more per game with the forward on the floor than off. Defensively, they’ve allowed 4.9 points fewer when Johnson plays in the lineup.
According to recent reports, Atlanta Hawks’ rookie Jalen Johnson has suffered a torn labrum in his shoulder and will miss the rest of the season. This is a significant blow for the young player, who was starting to make a name for himself in the NBA. Johnson was drafted by the Hawks with the 20th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and had shown flashes of potential in his limited playing time.
The torn labrum injury will require surgery and extensive rehabilitation, which means Johnson will have to sit out the remainder of the season. This is certainly disappointing news for both the player and the team, as they had high hopes for Johnson’s development this season.
Despite this setback, the Hawks will have to regroup and adjust their rotation to make up for Johnson’s absence. It will be a challenging task, but the team will have to rally together and continue to push forward in his absence.
We wish Jalen Johnson a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the court stronger than ever next season. In the meantime, let’s show our support for him and the Atlanta Hawks as they navigate this difficult situation. #GetWellSoonJalenJohnson #GoHawks.
