Sitting out Sunday McCollum (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.

Impact McCollum and the rest of Atlanta's starters will rest, with the Hawks locked into a top-6 seed. In 41 regular-season appearances with the Hawks (25 starts), McCollum averaged 18.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. While he wasn't a direct replacement for Trae Young, McCollum's arrival mid-season, plus Jalen Johnson's ascension, proved to be a willing formula for the Hawks, who'll advance to the postseason for the first time since 2022-23.
