Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Team-high 23 points Friday
Alexander-Walker posted 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four assists and two rebounds over 33 minutes during the Hawks' 126-98 loss to the Spurs on Friday.
Alexander-Walker returned to the starting lineup Friday after coming off the bench Thursday against the Hornets. The Hawks struggled as a whole on both ends of the floor, but despite his inefficiencies from three-point range, Alexander-Walker still managed to lead Atlanta in scoring and finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Victor Wembanyama (26 points). Since Dec. 1, Alexander-Walker has averaged 22.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 32.9 minutes per game.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Back in starting lineup
Alexander-Walker is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Spurs on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Alexander-Walker has started 22 of 26 regular-season games thus far, and despite coming off the bench against the Hornets on Thursday, he still finished with 28 points, eight rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes. With Trae Young (injury management) not playing in the second leg of the Hawks' back-to-back set, Alexander-Walker will be reinserted into Atlanta's starting lineup for Friday's home tilt.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Back to bench vs. Hornets
Alexander-Walker is not starting in Thursday's game against Charlotte, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
The 2019 first-rounder had started each of his appearances since the Oct. 31 win over Indiana, but the return of Trae Young (knee) is stopping that streak Thursday. Over three games off the bench this year, Alexander-Walker has averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30.1 minutes per tilt.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Adds 28 points despite role shift
Alexander-Walker racked up 28 points (11-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 loss to Charlotte.
Alexander-Walker moved back to a bench role following the return of Trae Young from a knee injury, but his production didn't take any sort of hit. Thursday marked the fifth time in seven December appearances that Alexander-Walker has scored 20 or more points, and he should continue to see chances to fire at the offensive end, even with Young now healthy.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Cleared to play Sunday
Alexander-Walker (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

The seventh-year pro is in the midst of a career year and is averaging 20.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.0 steals over 32.6 minutes per game.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Nursing ankle sprain
Alexander-Walker (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Alexander-Walker is nursing a sprained right ankle that he presumably sustained during the Hawks' 142-115 loss to the Pistons on Friday. Luke Kennard, Zaccharie Risacher and Vit Krejci would all be in line for increased roles if Alexander-Walker is not cleared to play Sunday.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Team-high 22 points in loss
Alexander-Walker amassed 22 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and two rebounds across 31 minutes during Friday's 142-115 loss to Detroit.
Alexander-Walker led Atlanta in scoring in the blowout loss, delivering another efficient shooting performance. It was also his first game this season without an assist and his eighth with two or fewer rebounds. The 27-year-old guard has excelled as a scorer with Trae Young (knee) sidelined. Alexander-Walker has scored at least 20 points in 10 of the team's last 13 outings, knocking down multiple triples in all but one game over that stretch.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Stays hot in loss
Alexander-Walker totaled 30 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Friday's 134-133 loss to the Nuggets.
Alexander-Walker delivered an efficient shooting performance en route to a team-high 30 points, albeit in a losing effort. The 27-year-old swingman also chipped in five or more three-pointers for the fourth time in his last five games after shooting just 2-for-7 from downtown in Thursday's loss to the Clippers. He has been on fire of late, scoring at least 21 points in each of his last five outings.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Nets 21 points in loss
Alexander-Walker racked up 21 points (7-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers.
Alexander-Walker dominated the offense with Jalen Johnson (calf) sidelined, and while he didn't have his most efficient outing, he still managed to extend his career-best streak of games with 20-plus points to four. The seven-year veteran is having a breakout season playing a key role in Atlanta, churning out career highs in points (20.4), triples (2.8) and assists (3.6).

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Scores 34 points in double-OT win
Alexander-Walker contributed 34 points (11-22 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal across 44 minutes during Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime win over the 76ers.
Alexander-Walker is going through a prolific stretch and has recorded at least 30 points for the third time over his last six games. He's also achieved that mark in back-to-back games for the first time in 2025-26. Alexander-Walker has been an excellent backcourt partner for Dyson Daniels in the absence of Trae Young (knee), and his numbers suggest he should remain a regular starter across all formats until further notice. Alexander-Walker averaged 21.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks per game in November while shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Team-high 30 points in win
Alexander-Walker ended with 30 points (10-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 130-123 win over the Cavaliers.
It was another strong shooting night for Alexander-Walker, who led the Hawks in scoring Friday thanks in large part to his five three-pointers, his most in a game since Nov. 20 against the Spurs (eight). The seventh-year pro's career-high average in scoring prior to the 2025-26 regular season was 11.0 points per game during the 2020-21 campaign with the Pelicans, but he has taken on a greater scoring role in his first year with the Hawks. Over his last nine outings, Alexander-Walker has averaged 21.0 points, 3.8 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 2.9 threes, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals over 33.3 minutes per game.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Pops for 23 in win
Alexander-Walker closed with 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 victory over Charlotte.
Alexander-Walker seemed to cool off after exploding for 38 points Nov. 20 against the Spurs, as he dropped just 10 against the Pelicans on Saturday. However, he was able to regain offensive momentum Sunday. Alexander-Walker has been key to Atlanta, especially with the absence of Trae Young (knee), as he averages 20.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.4 threes across 32.8 minutes in his last 11 starts.

Alexander-Walker couldn't be stopped from beyond the arc, where he torched the nets for a season high in made threes. He was also effective on the opposite end of the court, where he led Atlanta in swats. The Virginia Tech product has impressed from a scoring perspective over his last three appearances, averaging 29.3 points during this hot stretch.

Alexander-Walker accumulated 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 victory over the Suns.
Alexander-Walker was the Hawks' second-best scorer in this matchup behind Onyeka Okongwu, who finished with 27 points. Alexander-Walker has been embracing a bigger role due to the absence of Trae Young (knee) and has stepped up as a reliable backcourt threat when available. Alexander-Walker is averaging 18.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role, a trend that will continue as long as Young remains out.

After a strong start to the season, Alexander-Walker has been thrust into a starting role following a knee injury to Trae Young. Through 10 games, Alexander-Walker is averaging 17.2 points, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per game.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Iffy for Wednesday
Alexander-Walker (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Alexander-Walker is in jeopardy of missing his third straight game due to lower back spasms. If the 27-year-old joins Trae Young (knee) on the sidelines once again, Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci are candidates for a bump in minutes. Over his last five appearances (four starts), Alexander-Walker has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 32.0 minutes per contest.
