Huge double-double in win Johnson recorded 35 points (12-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 125-116 win over the 76ers.

Impact It was the 12th time this year that the All-Star forward dropped at least 30 points. Johnson is now also up to 39 double-double in 2025-26. Over his last 11 contests, Johnson has averaged 22.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.

Puts up 20 in easy win Johnson supplied 20 points (7-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 win over the Bucks.

Impact To illustrate how good Johnson has been this season, the fact that this was his third consecutive game without a double-double means it's also his longest streak without achieving that feat since the start of the campaign, as he opened the 2025-26 season without a double-double until his fifth outing. It was also his fourth straight without a triple-double, and he hadn't gone four games without such outcome since late January. Johnson's numbers might be a bit down compared to November or December, but he remains the absolute focal point of the Hawks' offensive scheme.

Cleared to play Sunday Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Johnson has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a left hip flexor injury. With Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) both cleared to return, that should result in both Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga reverting to bench roles for Sunday's contest. Prior to sustaining the injury against the Wizards on Tuesday, Johnson had averaged 25.0 points, 12.4 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.1 threes and 1.4 steals over 37.1 minutes per game in February.

Iffy for Sunday Johnson (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Ruled out Thursday Johnson is out for Thursday's game against the Wizards due to left hip flexor irritation.

Impact The All-Star forward exited Tuesday's game meeting with Washington due to the injury, and he can be deemed day-to-day ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Questionable for Thursday Johnson (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Johnson injured his hip during Tuesday's win over the Wizards, which resulted in more minutes for Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga. We'll have a better idea on Johnson's status based on his activity level at Thursday's shootaround, but if he's held out of that game, Kuminga would make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Impact Johnson sustained the hip injury in the first quarter and was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out shortly thereafter.

Impact Johnson went to the locker room midway through the first quarter, where he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Tuesday's game. Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and CJ McCollum will step into more prominent roles on offense and Zaccharie Risacher and Jonathan Kuminga are candidates to see more minutes off the bench for as long as Johnson is out of the game.
