Krejci closed Friday's 126-111 loss to the Heat with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 22 minutes.
Krejci connected on at least three triples for the third straight game, although he added very little else, as per usual. While he has been a sporadic source of points off the bench, on the whole, Krejci hasn't been able to make the most of his opportunities. In 28 appearances, he is averaging just 10.6 points and 2.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per game. At best, he can be utilized as a three-point streamer, if and when the situation arises.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Drains six treys Sunday
Rotowire
Krejci recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT) across 18 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 152-150 loss to Chicago.
The fifth-year wing delivered some instant offense once again from the second unit Sunday, although he provided essentially no other production outside of his long-range shooting. It's the fourth time in 26 games this season that Krejci has scored at least 20 points, and the fifth time in the last seven games he's drained multiple three-pointers -- a stretch in which he's averaging 11.9 points, 3.1 threes, 2.3 boards, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Provides spark off bench in win
Rotowire
Krejci ended Sunday's 120-117 win over the 76ers with 19 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes.
While Krejci has a lone start to his name in 2025-26, his efficiency helped him stay relevant in nine-category fantasy leagues. Until Trae Young (knee) is cleared to suit up, Krejci should see enough minutes to supply streaming value in deeper setups. He's averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 three-pointers per contest across his last 12 outings, shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Lean run continues
Rotowire
Krejci notched three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Monday's 99-98 loss to the Pistons.
Krejci scored no more than five points for the third time in the past five games, continuing what has been an underwhelming stretch of offensive production. It appears that his playing time and associated fantasy value are almost entirely reliant on his shooting. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has averaged 8.5 points and 2.3 three-pointers in 25.5 minutes per contest. He should be viewed as nothing more than a three-point streaming option.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Modest production in loss
Rotowire
Krejci supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 loss to the Wizards.
Krejci scored in double digits for just the second time in the past five games, albeit barely. Outside of some offensive explosions, Krejci has been mostly a non-factor thus far this season. Through 15 games, he has averaged just 10.5 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes per contest, leaving him well outside the top 150 in standard leagues.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Comes up short in start
Rotowire
Krejci produced nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to the Pistons.
Krejci moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, replacing Zaccharie Risacher, who was ruled out due to a hip injury. While he did manage to log a season-high 36 minutes, it would appear as though his hot shooting has come to a temporary end. He has now scored 16 points in total over his past two games, going 6-for-16 from the floor.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Starting sans Risacher
Rotowire
Krejci will start Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
With Zaccharie Risacher (hip) sidelined, Krejci will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five appearances, the 25-year-old has averaged 16.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 25.8 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Drills six triples in win
Rotowire
Krejci finished Thursday's 132-122 win over the Jazz with 20 points (7-9 FG, 6-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and three steals over 32 minutes.
Krejci couldn't miss early, as he dropped in a quick 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-5 3Pt) in his first 11 minutes of play. He's been in a nice groove over the past four games with averages of 19.0 points on 63.4 percent shooting to go with 2.5 assists and 4.8 treys per contest.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Fails to score in loss
Rotowire
Krejci posted zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Friday's 109-97 loss to the Raptors.
Krejci missed all three of his shot attempts, failing to score for the first time this season. Even at this early stage in the season, Atlanta is running with a relatively shallow rotation on most nights. Krejci appears to be considered a nightly piece at this stage, albeit an unimpactful one.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Hits three in loss
Rotowire
Krejci provided three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Krejci does not appear to have a prominent role within Atlanta's rotation, even with the injury to Trae Young (knee) and the absence of Keaton Wallace (illness). Unless more injuries occur, Krejci will likely remain buried in the depth chart.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Ups offensive contributions in loss
Rotowire
Krejci totaled 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 22 minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to the Thunder.
Krejci took advantage of extended minutes with several Hawks regulars sidelined, contributing across the board by hitting a trio of three-pointers and adding two steals. While he typically projects as a deeper reserve in Atlanta's rotation, he could continue to see meaningful opportunities if ankle injuries to Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson persist.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Not starting Thursday
Rotowire
Krejci is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With Zaccharie Risacher back from a rest day, Krejci will return to the second unit, where his minutes will see a sizeable dip. Krejci has averaged at least 20 minutes per game in each of the last two seasons with Atlanta, making 79 regular-season appearances (30 starts).

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Quiet despite spot start
Rotowire
Krejci finished with seven points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's preseason win over Miami.
Krejci was given the starting nod after it was announced Atlanta would be resting the majority of its rotation. The coaching staff leaned heavily on the bench, meaning Krejci was limited to just 20 minutes. Despite the modest performance, Krejci has a chance to carve out a consistent, albeit low-volume role again this season. Barring multiple injuries to other players, expect to see him serving as the ninth or tenth man in the rotation on most nights.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Starting vs. Miami
Rotowire
Krejci will start in Monday's preseason game against the Heat, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
With Atlanta's usual starting five taking a seat against Miami, Krejci will get the starting nod. The 25-year-old mainly came off the bench for the Hawks in 2024-25, during which he averaged 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 20.2 minutes per game in 57 regular-season outings (16 starts).

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Adds double figures off bench
Rotowire
Krejci produced 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block across 13 minutes during Saturday's 122-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
Krejci was far more efficient in his second showing of the preseason, as he was held to four points in 10 minutes during Monday's exhibition against the Rockets. The 25-year-old served in a rotation role a year ago for the Hawks, averaging 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 57 regular-season appearances, and he appears set for a similar role heading into his fifth NBA season.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Doesn't score in season-ending loss
Rotowire
Krejci provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in eight minutes during Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to the Heat.
Krejci was the only Hawks player to play but not log double-digit minutes in Friday's Play-In Game loss. The 24-year-old guard missed a significant chunk of time due to an adductor injury but still managed to make 57 regular-season appearances, including 16 starts. Across Krejci's 57 regular-season outings, he averaged 7.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 20.2 minutes.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Krejci (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Krejci has been sidelined for the Hawks' last 10 games due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. He's progressed enough in his recovery to be given the questionable tag for Monday's game, but he'll have to at least go through pregame warmups before a determination on his status is made. Krejci was averaging 10.6 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 27.2 minutes across the 20 games prior to his injury.

Atlanta assigned Krejci to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
The Hawks announced Feb. 12 that Krejci was diagnosed with a non-displaced lumbar fracture and would be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks. He's presumably going to the G League to start ramping up again, so the assignment could be a sign that he'll soon be ready to start playing in games for Atlanta.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Ruled out for Wednesday

Krejci (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Krejci sustained the lower back contusion on a hard fall in the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Magic. The 24-year-old's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break against the Magic on Feb. 20. Caris LeVert and Terance Mann are candidates for an uptick in playing time with Krejci on the shelf.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Leaves with back issue
Rotowire
Krejci exited in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Magic due to an apparent back injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Krejci was fouled hard and landed on his back, but he managed to make his free-throw attempt before checking out of the game with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter to be assessed further. The 24-year-old will most likely be shut down for the remainder of the contest.
