Jalen Johnson, Deason Daniels, Zacharie Risacher injury status
All three players were listed as suspicious against the Hornets, and their status will most likely be updated closer to game time. Johnson and Daniels sat out the Hawks’ last game against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to injuries, and given the layoff, it wouldn’t be a surprise if they sat out again.
As for Rizacher, he was seen limping a bit during the Timberwolves game, and it’s not certain how serious his injury is. Risacher was just added to the All-Star Weekend All-Star Game, and if his injury is anything to go by, they’ll likely need to find someone to replace him.
Johnson will also be at All-Star Weekend, as he will participate in the Shooting Stars Challenge and then the actual All-Star Game the following day.
As for the Hawks, they are currently the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference, with the Hornets following close behind. It would have gone a long way if they were healthy in this matchup against the Hornets to gain a bit of an advantage.
