Hawks’ Johnson to remain out, more medical tests scheduled
Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson, already ruled out of Saturday night’s home game against the Toronto Raptors, will continue to be sidelined as he has further medical testing on his injured left shoulder, the team announced.
Johnson sustained the injury when he blocked a layup attempt by Toronto’s Scottie Barnes in the second quarter of Atlanta’s 122-110 road loss Thursday.
“[Johnson] will be listed as out as he undergoes further medical testing and evaluation,” the Hawks said in a statement Saturday afternoon. “His injury and status will be updated as appropriate.”
Johnson missed five games with a right shoulder problem and returned on Jan. 18.
He leads the Hawks with 10.0 rebounds per game. He is second in scoring average (18.9), assists per game (5.0) and minutes per game (35.7). All four averages are career bests.
Atlanta selected Johnson with the 20th pick of the 2021 NBA draft out of Duke. In his four-year career, he averages 11.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 23.6 minutes per game over 184 games (94 starts).
The Atlanta Hawks have announced that forward Cam Reddish will remain out of the lineup as he undergoes further medical tests. The team has not provided specific details about the nature of Reddish’s injury, but they are taking a cautious approach to his recovery.
Reddish has missed the past few games due to the injury, and it appears that he will be sidelined for the foreseeable future. The Hawks are hopeful that the additional tests will provide more clarity on the situation, but they are not rushing Reddish back onto the court.
In the meantime, the Hawks will have to rely on their depth to fill the void left by Reddish’s absence. The team has shown resilience in the face of injuries this season, and they will need to continue to do so as they navigate this latest setback.
Fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on Reddish’s condition as the team prepares for their upcoming games. In the meantime, they can only hope for a speedy recovery for the talented young forward.
