Krejci logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over eight minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 win over the Knicks.
Krejci continues to be used sparingly by the Hawks, having played in just eight of the past 13 games since returning from injury. In that time, he has scored a total of 15 points, eight of which came in a loss to Portland. Based on what we have seen to this point, Krejci is unlikely to move into a sizeable role, at least not this season.

Rotowire
Krejci (adductor) will likely miss at least a few more weeks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Krejci is due for re-evaluation this week but isn't close to returning to game action.

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.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Hot from deep
Rotowire
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.

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.
