Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Not listed on injury report
Okongwu (toe) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Okongwu didn't play Monday against the Wizards, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, but he'll return to action Wednesday. After exploding for 28 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in the season opener, Okongwu totaled 21 points, 11 rebounds and two steals over his next two appearances before resting Monday.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Monday
Okongwu (rest) will not play Monday against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Hawks will give Okongwu the night off for injury management related to his left toe. Fantasy managers should expect him back for Wednesday's rematch against the Wizards. Clint Capela could see a higher floor Monday, while Larry Nance could see a bump in playing time.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Scores 14 points Sunday
Okongwu closed Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder with 14 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes.
Okongwu has played off the bench in Atlanta's first three games of the season, but he's outplayed Clint Capela from a scoring perspective each time, hitting double digits in two of those outings. Capela should remain the starting center due to the chemistry he has with Trae Young and also due to his defensive contributions, but Okongwu will remain a solid fantasy alternative as long as he continues to log more than 20 minutes per game off the bench on a steady basis.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Plays 26 minutes off bench Friday
Okongwu amassed seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 125-120 victory over Charlotte.
Okongwu wasn't able to match his 28-point output from Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Nets, but the 2020 first-round pick still managed to play more minutes than starting center Clint Capela (22) on Friday. Okongwu ended up leading the Hawks in rebounding, with three of his boards coming on the offensive end of the floor. He should continue to be the first big man of Atlanta's bench, and if his strong play persists, he could join the starting five in place of Capela.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Scores career-high 28 points
Okongwu produced 28 points (11-12 FG, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 victory over Brooklyn.
Okongwu came off the bench but outplayed Clint Capela, closing the game as the Hawks held off a tenacious Brooklyn team. Although fantasy managers would love to see Okongwu running with the starters, it appears as though he is going to remain the backup, at least for the time being. With that said, there is a decent chance he ends up playing starters' minutes, which should be more than enough for him to be a real difference-maker across all fantasy formats.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Coming off bench
Okongwu is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener versus Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu is set to reprise his backup role behind Clint Capela. Capela was freshly cleared from Wednesday's injury report after overcoming ankle soreness, and he is not expected to have a limited workload.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Returns to starting lineup
Okongwu (toe) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu will move past a toe injury, make his preseason debut and start at center due to Clint Capela (ankle) being sidelined. Capela's injury is reportedly minor but may impact his status for Wednesday's regular-season opener against Brooklyn. Whenever Capela misses time, Okongwu will likely be the primary beneficiary.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Subdued performance Thursday
Okongwu finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3PT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Thunder.
Okongwu made his preseason debut, finishing with a modest stat line in limited minutes. It is unclear whether Okongwu will be the starter this season, although based on what we have seen over the past couple of years, confidence is low. However, Clint Capela is dealing with an ankle injury, something that could open the door for Okongwu to get first crack at the role. Either way, he makes sense as a target anywhere after pick 100.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't see floor Monday
Okongwu (toe) has officially been ruled out of Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
This does not come as a surprise as coach Quin Snyder said Monday there was a "good chance" Okongwu wouldn't suit up. The big man is working his way back from a non-surgical procedure on his left big toe that he underwent in April. The club is taking it slow with Okongwu's recovery, though there is optimism that he returns to game action during the preseason -- with his next opportunity coming Wednesday against the Heat.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Unlikely to play Monday
Coach Quin Snyder said there's a "good chance" Okongwu (toe) doesn't play in Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu is still working his way back from a non-surgical procedure he underwent in April to deal with inflammation in his left big toe. While he's unlikely to play Monday, Snyder added that he's hopeful Okongwu suits up before the preseason ends. He'll have two more chances to do so -- Wednesday in Miami and Thursday in Oklahoma City.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Tuesday
Okongwu (toe) is out for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu still appears to be recovering from a non-surgical procedure he underwent in April to deal with inflammation in his left big toe. While Okongwu hasn't been ruled out for the preseason, his status is worth monitoring ahead of Atlanta's regular-season campaign, which begins Oct. 23 against Brooklyn.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Not 100 percent for camp
Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Monday that Okongwu (toe) is not 100 percent healthy entering training camp, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu underwent a non-surgical procedure back on April 11 to address ongoing inflammation in his left big toe, and it's a concern that he's still not 100 percent. Fields did indicate that Okongwu is progressing in the right direction, but fantasy managers will want to watch this situation closely during the preseason because he has considerable upside if he can get his health right.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Out at least four weeks
Okongwu underwent a non-surgical procedure Tuesday to address ongoing inflammation in his left big toe and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Okongwu hasn't played since March 21 due to the left big toe injury. Unless the Hawks can come out of the Play-In and go on a miraculous playoff run, the 22-year-old big man has essentially been shut down for the rest of the season. Okongwu will end the regular season with averages of 10.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 25.5 minutes across 55 appearances, including eight starts.
