Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Out at least three weeks
The Atlanta Hawks announced Thursday that Jalen Johnson has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 lateral ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.Johnson exited Tuesday's game against Miami due to his ankle injury, and he's facing a multi-week absence following the results of his MRI. Whether Johnson will be back in action at any point during postseason play likely depends on whether the Hawks advance past the Play-In Tournament. In Johnson's absence, Vit Krejci, De'Andre Hunter (rest) and Wesley Matthews (hamstring) could see increased roles.

Hawks' Jalen Johnson: Gets 25 minutes in return
Jalen Johnson (ankle) tallied 11 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 25 minutes Monday in the Atlanta Hawks' 113-101 win over the Bulls.The Hawks clearly put a playing-time restriction in place of Johnson in his return from a six-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, as he came off the bench and finished nearly nine minutes below his season-long average (33.8). It's unclear if he'll supplant De'Andre Hunter in the starting five as he becomes further removed from the ankle injury, but expect Johnson to at least see his minutes steadily increase in the games to come. Johnson is worth a pickup in leagues where he might have been dropped after he suffered the ankle sprain.
