Hawks' Vit Krejci: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Krejci went back to the locker room in the second quarter of Monday's matchup against the Wizards, and he will not return for the remainder of the game due to a right adductor injury, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Krejci appeared to favor his thigh after being fouled. He stayed in the game and made his first free throw before leaving the court. The 24-year-old has played double-digit minutes in three regular-season games prior to Monday as the club has been without Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) since Opening Night. Krejci posted seven points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and one steal across 10 minutes.

Rotowire
Krejci has agreed to return to the Hawks on a four-year, $10 million deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Krejci had some bright spots filling in for Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu when both players were injured last season, but when the team is healthy, it'll be tough for Krejci to earn enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy hoops.

Rotowire
Krejci provided 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 loss to Charlotte.
Krejci returned to the starting lineup Wednesday after coming off the bench in his last four appearances, and he posted a season-high scoring total in the narrow loss. The Hawks announced Thursday that Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Onyeka Okongwu (toe) will be sidelined for multiple weeks, so Krejci could continue to see increased run down the stretch.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
Krejci is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Krejci will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Jalen Johnson is returning to the first unit Wednesday, so Krejci will likely be operating in a reserve role moving forward. As a member of the second unit, Krejci's minutes will likely dip to the lower 20s, so he's not the most attractive target in standard formats.
Krejci registered 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 120-118 victory over the Celtics.
Krejci accounted for 13 of his 16 points in the second half as Atlanta successfully mounted a comeback after trailing by 30 points in the second quarter of Monday's game. As a 6-foot-8 swingman, Krejci has the size to be a factor defensively, although offense is his forte, and he's delivering to the tune of 11.3 points and 2.8 assists on 56.3 percent shooting across his last four games. He has started nine consecutive contests for Atlanta, averaging 28.4 minutes over that span.

Rotowire
Krejci posted five points (1-2 FG, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 110-93 win over the Clippers.
Krejci wasn't very involved Sunday, which doesn't bode well for his outlook going forward considering the amount of injuries in Atlanta. In his last six outings, Krejci has averaged just 3.3 points, 2.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Could play in G League this week
Rotowire
Krejci (shoulder) will travel with the G League's College Park Skyhawks and this week and could be available for games Wednesday and Thursday versus the Grand Rapids Drive.
The two-way player hasn't made an appearance for the Hawks or the Skyhawks since Dec. 29 due to a left shoulder subluxation, but he's been practicing in the G League and appears to be closing in on a return to game action. Even once the injury is firmly in the rear-view mirror, Krejci likely won't be included in the NBA rotation, so he could stick around in the G League beyond this week.
