Hard stretch for Atlanta Hawks is even tough with Jalen Johnson’s injury

Johnson missed six games, five in a row, this season with a right shoulder injury. In her matchup against the Celtics, he returned to the team of the team on Saturday and played the last three games.

The Hawks did not present an update to Johnson’s injury on Friday at noon. But should Johnson miss a considerable time that it would be a serious blow for a Hawks front court that is already stirred with injuries.

Hawk’s Forward/Center Larry Nance Jr. under the operation on January 2 to repair a fracture in his hand. Hawk’s Rookie Zaccharia Risacher has missed several games with a left -wing add -on increase. The Hawks sat Center Clint Capela in the game on Thursday, after a hard fall in the game on Wednesday left him with the right knee cast.

Johnson’s absence would leave the Hawks, who are in rotation 18-18 with Johnson, without one of their more versatile players and second scores in the middle of the team’s offensive burgation this month. The Hawks scored an average of 113.6 points per game per game in the 11 games in January.

Their efficiency has also scored a hit, even though they have achieved an average of the high-season high field goal attempts this month.

Johnson was the most efficient scorer of the HAWKS at 10 or more field goal attempts per game. He also made a significant part of the Hawks game this season with his speed and ability to quickly get them out in front of the opponents’ flours.

In 36 games, Johnson scored an average of 18.9 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, 1.6 steals and one block per game.

In the 10 games that lead to the all-star break, six of them come against teams with records over 500. Some of these teams are an enormous threat to the decimated Hawks front court because the size is up and down.

The next 10 opponents of the Hawks include the Timberwolves (14th), Rockets (fourth), Cavaliers (First), Pacers (11th), Pistons (13th), Spurs (21.), Bucks (eight), magician ( 30.) Magic (17th) and Knicks (6th).

“We need when Jalen is injured, who knows how long he will be outside,” said Hawks Guard Trae Young on Thursday. “So we will need other people to fill what Jalen brings as much as possible to our team.”
