Why Hawks traded Vit Krejci to Trail Blazers for underwhelming return | Sporting News Atlanta made some trade news on Sunday.

FEBRUARY 1 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Traded to Portland The Hawks traded Krejci (ankle) to the Trail Blazers on Sunday in exchange for Duop Reath (foot) and two future second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Krejci started against the Rockets on Jan. 29, posting nine points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, one assist and a steal in 27 minutes, but he was in street clothes due to an ankle injury during Saturday's loss in Indiana. His role has been inconsistent this season, and with Zaccharie Risacher (knee) healthy again and Corey Kispert coming over in a trade, Krejci was going to be blocked for playing time in Atlanta. While Portland has a ton of wing depth, they don't have many knockdown shooters, so Krejci, who's shot at least 40 percent from deep in three straight seasons, could carve out a role as a specialist once he moves past his ankle issue.

Ruled out Saturday Krejci (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Krejci was a late addition to the injury report Saturday due to a left ankle sprain, and he'll miss his first game since Oct. 31. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday against the Heat. Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert are candidates for a slight bump in minutes due to Krejci being sidelined.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Krejci is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Krejci was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a positive sign for his availability. The 25-year-old will likely be a game-time decision ahead of tipoff at 7:00 p.m. ET, and if he isn't cleared to suit up, Luke Kennard and Corey Kispert would be candidates for increased minutes.

Running with first unit Krejci is starting Thursday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Krejci will join the starting lineup with Zaccharie Risacher (knee), Jalen Johnson (calf) and Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) all ruled out for Atlanta. Krjeci started five consecutive games for the Hawks earlier in January and averaged 5.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes.

It took Corey Kispert just 8 games to push Vit Krejci out of the Hawk's rotation Vit Krejci's minutes have been cut in half since Corey Kispert's arrival.

Hawks send a brutal message to Vit Krejci after telling lineup change Vit Krejci officially has competition for his hold on the second-string small forward spot after the Atlanta Hawks acquired Corey Kispert.

Joins second unit Krejci will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Krejci has been trending in the wrong direction for several weeks, so the Hawks will shake things up Monday -- Corey Kispert is getting the starting nod with the team looking to deploy more shooting.

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Poor production continues Krejci produced three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 132-106 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Krejci failed to score double digits for the fifth time in the past six games, despite the fact that Atlanta was dealing with multiple injuries. Outside of a handful of promising performances, Krejci has been mostly underwhelming thus far this season, averaging 9.8 points and 2.5 three-pointers in 23.8 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Notches eight points Krejci provided eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Krejci drew the start, the Hawks utilized a lot of smaller lineups with CJ McCollum playing 29 minutes off the bench with 20 points to his name. Krejci's fantasy appeal remains limited to deeper formats with averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.6 three-pointers over his last eight games.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in spot start Krejci notched zero points (0-8 FG, 0-7 3Pt), one assist, two blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Friday's 110-87 win over Denver.

Impact Despite shifting into the starting lineup, Krejci failed to score, missing all eight of his shot attempts. With Zaccharie Risacher sidelined due to a knee complaint, Krejci was given an opportunity to play starter-level minutes. His four defensive stats did somewhat salvage what was otherwise a disappointing night. Assuming Atlanta starts to get healthy bodies back on the floor in the coming games, Krejci should be viewed as nothing more than a potential three-point streaming option.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Krejci will start against Denver on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The fifth-year pro will join the first unit due to Zaccharie Risacher (knee) being sidelined. Krejci has started just two games so far this season, during which he has averaged 13.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per tilt. He has been extremely efficient from three-point range of late, shooting 49.2 percent from downtown on 6.5 attempts per game over his last 10 outings.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 19 minutes in win Krejci recorded five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact The Hawks traded away Trae Young (quadriceps) on Wednesday, but they added CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert which could crowd things for Krejci. Krejci has had some solid outings in recent weeks, so it will be interesting to see what kind of role he carves out for the new-look Hawks.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Hawks quietly have ideal insurance plan to combat major problem in Anthony Davis trade Losing Luke Kennard in a trade with Dallas would hurt, but Vit Krejci is more than ready for an expanded role.

RJ Barrett scores season-high 29 points as Raptors beat Hawks 134-117

RJ Barrett scored a season-high 29 points, Brandon Ingram also had 29 and the Toronto Raptors beat the Atlanta Hawks 134-117 in the first of back-to-back meetings between the teams

JANUARY 4 • Associated Press

Back to bench against Minnesota Krejci is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The Hawks are getting Jalen Johnson back from his illness Wednesday, so Krejci is the odd man out of the first unit. On the year, Krejci has averaged 10.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.1 minutes per contest over 28 games off the bench.

DECEMBER 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pops for 18 points in starting role Krejci closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 140-129 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Krejci filled in for Jalen Williams (illness) and had his fifth-best scoring performance of the season during his second start. While the fifth-year pro is outside the realm of fantasy relevance, Krejci has come in handy during Atlanta's smattering of absences and should be considered a viable option when the injury tags pile up.

DECEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Monday Krejci will start against the Thunder on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Trae Young (quadriceps), Jalen Johnson (illness) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined, Krejci will enter the starting five for just the second time this season. In his previous start during a loss to the Pistons on Nov. 18, the 25-year-old recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes. Over his last five outings, Krejci has averaged 12.2 points and 2.0 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per game.

The Atlanta Hawks have the most valuable contract in the NBA Vit Krejci's four-year deal is the best contract in the NBA right now.

DECEMBER 27, 2025 • SOARINGDOWNSOUTH.COM

Hits multiple triples again Krejci closed Friday's 126-111 loss to the Heat with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 22 minutes.

Impact Krejci connected on at least three triples for the third straight game, although he added very little else, as per usual. While he has been a sporadic source of points off the bench, on the whole, Krejci hasn't been able to make the most of his opportunities. In 28 appearances, he is averaging just 10.6 points and 2.7 three-pointers in 23.6 minutes per game. At best, he can be utilized as a three-point streamer, if and when the situation arises.
