Hawks' CJ McCollum: Back in action
McCollum (rest) will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
McCollum and most of Atlanta's regulars rested Monday against the Thunder but will return to action for the final exhibition. It's unclear how many minutes the veteran will see, though he might play into the second half as a dress rehearsal for the regular season.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Resting Monday
McCollum (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
McCollum and most of Atlanta's regulars won't play in the penultimate preseason game. McCollum recorded 12 points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and five rebounds across 19 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Scores 12 points Saturday
McCollum recorded 12 points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and five rebounds across 19 minutes in Saturday's 119-117 preseason win over the Pacers.
McCollum attempted just four field goals but made the most of his opportunities at the free-throw line, converting all seven attempts, and his five rebounds were a nice addition to the stat line as well. The veteran guard is likely to earn most of his value through his scoring and playmaking once the regular season begins, though. He averaged 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game across 76 regular-season outings in 2025-26 and is locked into a first-unit role for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign as well.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Knocks down four threes
McCollum finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists across 19 minutes in Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs.
McCollum provided efficient perimeter scoring, connecting on four of his six attempts from beyond the arc while leading Atlanta's starters with 14 points. The veteran guard also contributed five rebounds, including three on the offensive glass, and dished out four assists. His ability to stretch the floor and create offense should make him a valuable contributor in Atlanta's backcourt, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned over his limited playing time in the preseason. McCollum is locked into a starting role ahead of the regular-season opener against the Magic on Oct. 21.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Set to play Thursday
McCollum (nose) is set to play in Thursday's preseason game against the Spurs, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The veteran guard is slated for some reps Thursday after missing the preseason opener. McCollum should see action in the first half before Atlanta flips things over to their younger players in the second half.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Won't play Monday
McCollum is out for Monday's preseason opener against the Grizzlies due to a nose contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
McCollum is dealing with a bruised nose and will skip Monday's exhibition, but it shouldn't affect his status for the regular-season opener. His next chance to play will come Thursday in San Antonio.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Agrees to extension with Atlanta
McCollum agreed to a one-year, $21 million contract extension with the Hawks on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
McCollum will avoid free agency and remain with Atlanta after being acquired from the Wizards in January. Over 41 regular-season appearances (25 starts) with the Hawks last season, the veteran guard averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals while shooting 45.6 percent from the floor in 28.8 minutes per showing.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Muted effort in Game 6 loss
McCollum closed with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 24 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
After a hot start to the series, McCollum wasn't able to find much success against the Knicks in Game 6 as Atlanta's season came to a disappointing end. Since joining the Hawks following a midseason trade with Washington, McCollum meshed well with his new team. He made 41 regular-season appearances (25 starts) and produced averages of 18.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per contest.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Goes missing in Game 5 loss
McCollum had six points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 loss to New York in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
McCollum simply couldn't get anything going Tuesday, delivering easily his worst game of the playoffs. After scoring at least 23 points in the opening three games, McCollum has scored a total of 23 points in his past two appearances, both of which have been losses. Now trailing 3-2, the Hawks will return to Atlanta for what is a must-win game. Look for McCollum to try to turn things around with a goal of forcing a Game 7.
