Starting Wednesday Flemings will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The rookie floor general will get the starting nod for the first time in his young career, pushing CJ McCollum to the bench. With Jalen Johnson (ankle) sidelined, Flemings will likely see increased on-ball duties. He's averaging 7.1 points, 4.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 20.3 minutes per contest across seven regular-season appearances.

Suspended one game Flemings (suspension) won't play in Monday's game against Indiana, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.

Impact Flemings was assessed a technical foul and ejected late in the Hawks' 121-99 loss to New Orleans on Saturday for intentionally elbowing Pelicans guard Bryce McGowens in the head. Without the rookie on the floor, head coach Quin Snyder will presumably divide the minutes between Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Aaron Wiggins and CJ McCollum.

Nets career-high 23 points in loss Flemings logged 23 points (9-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 129-117 loss to the Heat.

Impact Flemings had scored just 13 points on 33.3 percent shooting through the first four games of the season, but he caught fire Wednesday, finishing with a career-high while missing just three shot attempts. He was one of the few Atlanta players to find success offensively in Wednesday's loss, so it'll be interesting to see if that translates to more minutes in Thursday's meeting with the Cavs.

Playing steady bench role Flemings ended with six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound and four assists over 18 minutes during Monday's 120-110 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Although Flemings hasn't yet locked down a major role for the Hawks, it's encouraging to see the rookie first-rounder on the floor on a steady basis to begin his career. Over four appearances thus far, Flemings has averaged 4.0 assists, 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.3 minutes per game.

OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in debut Flemings totaled zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 victory over the Magic.

Impact The rookie guard couldn't get a shot to fall in his first regular-season appearance, but he contributed as a rebounder and facilitator off Atlanta's bench. Flemings will likely face competition for minutes in a backcourt featuring CJ McCollum, Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, limiting his immediate fantasy appeal.

Not starting Friday Flemings won't start Friday's preseason finale against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With most of Atlanta's regulars resting, Flemings started and had seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City. However, the Hawks are back to full strength for the final exhibition, so the rookie will slide to a reserve role.

Dishes seven dimes in preseason win Flemings had seven points (3-11 FG, 1-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Monday's 113-110 preseason win over Oklahoma City.

Impact Flemings made his second start of the preseason, with Atlanta giving the majority of its key players the night off. It's been a steady preseason for the rookie, flashing some upside on both ends of the floor. While he isn't slated to play a major role for the Hawks in his first season, there is a chance he touches the floor on most nights, serving as a third or fourth option behind the likes of Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum.

OCTOBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Flemings is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Oklahoma City, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With CJ McCollum resting, Flemings will make his second start of the preseason. Through three preseason appearances, the rookie guard is averaging 11.3 points, 2.7 assists, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Kingston Flemings drops 15 & 5 in Hawks Preseason Win over Spurs

Well-rounded outing in preseason win Flemings finished Thursday's 123-116 preseason win over the Spurs with 15 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists, three rebounds and three steals in 20 minutes.

Impact The rookie point guard got the starting nod in Monday's preseason-opening loss to the Grizzlies, though he retreated to the bench Thursday with CJ McCollum back in action. Flemings turned in a much better performance in his second preseason appearance, closing as the Hawks' second-leading scorer while tying for the game-high marks in assists and steals. He was also far more efficient after shooting just 4-for-11 from the field Monday.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Thursday Flemings isn't starting in Thursday's preseason game against the Spurs, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The rookie started Monday against the Grizzlies and notched 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes. However, he'll head to the bench for this one, with Aaron Wiggins starting instead. Flemings is likely to see minutes off the bench anyway, as the preseason is the perfect time to see how he'll fare against NBA-caliber opponents with the regular season just right around the corner.

OCTOBER 6 • SOARINGDOWNSOUTH.COM

Decent output in spot start Flemings registered 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT) and two assists across 25 minutes in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Flemings drew the start Monday due to the absence of CJ McCollum (nose) and logged the most minutes among Atlanta's starters, giving the rookie an extended opportunity in his preseason debut. He struggled with efficiency, committing three turnovers and recording just two assists, and his free-throw shooting was also subpar. However, Flemings is a candidate to see steady minutes off the bench in the Hawks' backcourt despite his rookie status, though his role throughout the remainder of the preseason will be worth monitoring.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod in preseason opener Flemings will start Monday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact With CJ McCollum (nose) unavailable, Flemings will draw the start in his preseason debut. The rookie will be joined in the first unit by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu.
