Assigned to G League Atlanta assigned Krejci to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Impact The Hawks announced back on Feb. 12 that Krejci was diagnosed with a non-displaced lumbar fracture and that he would be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks. He's presumably going to the G League to ramp up his rehab process, so this could be a sign that he's poised to return to action in the near future.

To be re-evaluated in four weeks The Hawks announced Wednesday that Krejci (back) will be re-evaluated in three to four weeks.

Impact Krejci sustained the lower back contusion on a hard fall in the fourth quarter of Monday's win over the Magic. The 24-year-old's next chance to play will come after the All-Star break against the Magic on Feb. 20. Caris LeVert and Terance Mann are candidates for an uptick in playing time with Krejci on the shelf.

Impact Krejci checked out of the game with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter and immediately headed for the locker room, and it didn't take long for the Hawks' training staff to rule him out for the rest of the evening.

Impact It didn't take long for Atlanta's medical staff to shut Krejci down for the rest of the night after he exited, as he looked to be in considerable pain on his way to the locker room. He'll presumably be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Leaves with back issue Krejci exited in the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Magic due to an apparent back injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Krejci was fouled hard and landed on his back, but he managed to make his free-throw attempt before checking out of the game with 7:43 remaining in the fourth quarter to be assessed further. The 24-year-old will most likely be shut down for the remainder of the contest.

Impact Krejci was fouled hard and landed on his back, but he managed to make his free throw before going in to get assessed further. Caris LeVert and Zaccarie Risacher would pick up the slack in the frontcourt if Krejci is unable to return.

FEBRUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sniffs triple-double Saturday Krejci had 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 win over the Wizards.

Impact Krejci flirted with what would've been his first career triple-double, falling a lone rebound and three-pointer shy of the team-high marks in these areas Saturday. The 24-year-old remains a candidate to make occasional starts for the Hawks going forward, but he's come off the bench in seven straight games. During this span, Krejci has averaged 9.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.1 threes in 26.0 minutes.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Improved performance Monday Krejci registered 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 132-130 victory over Detroit.

Impact Krejci got back on track with a well-balanced performance, a welcome sight after what has been a modest couple of games. After playing 15 and 21 minutes in each of the past two contests, his role had become somewhat unclear. However, he ended the night with 28 minutes, more in line with what he had been playing prior to the recent downtick. The Hawks are going to need all hands on deck moving forward, meaning Krejci should continue to play a meaningful role.

FEBRUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Muted role continues Krejci racked up five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) across 15 minutes during Saturday's 132-127 loss to Indiana.

Impact Krejci played just 15 minutes, the fewest he has played since late December. He has shifted to the bench over the past two games after having started 12 straight contests during the month of January. As the Hawks continue to look for a winning formula, there is a chance Krejci's role could increase again at some point in the near future.

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Thursday Krejci will come off the bench in Thursday's game against Cleveland.

Impact With Zaccharie Risacher returning to game action, the Hawks will choose to keep Mouhamed Gueye in the starting five over Krejci against the Cavaliers. The 24-year-old had started in 12 consecutive contests for Atlanta entering Thursday, during which he had averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 29.3 minutes per game.

JANUARY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Multiple career highs despite loss Krejci dropped 20 points (6-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, three steals, two rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors.

Impact In one of the best performances of his young career, the fourth-year guard logged career-best marks in points and three-pointers made, while also matching his career high in steals and recording a season high in assists while he was at it. Krejci has been picking up steam of late, averaging 12.2 points and 3.9 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the field and 48.5 percent from deep in January. Although the Hawks have been without forwards like Jalen Johnson (shoulder), Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) and De'Andre Hunter (illness), Krejci has become a staple in their guard rotation, and his volume shouldn't take too much of a hit when they eventually return. He'll next take the court Monday against the Timberwolves.

Nails three triples in loss Krejci racked up nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-104 loss to Detroit.

Impact Krejci has seen a significant increase since being inserted into the starting lineup in his last eight outings, averaging 10.9 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 27.8 minutes. Krejci has also been scorching the nets from behind the arc over that span, converting 50.0 percent of his 5.0 three-point attempts.

Checks back in Krejci (undisclosed) has returned to Wednesday's game against Chicago.

Impact Krejci went back to the locker room with an undisclosed injury, but he's since checked back into the contest. Krejci should receive as many minutes as he can handle the rest of the way for the shorthanded Hawks.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Goes to locker room Krejci went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The reason for Krejci's exit is unknown, but he'll head back to the locker room for further evaluation. The Hawks are already rather thin due to injuries, though Krejci's departure could mean more minutes for Keaton Wallace, Garrison Mathews and Daeqwon Plowden.

JANUARY 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 15 points Krejci logged 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 win over the Suns.

Impact Krejci recorded a season-high 15 points in the win while matching his season-best mark of six assists. He continues to trend up for the Hawks, posting averages of 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers over his last five games, becoming an intriguing fantasy pickup in the process.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient outing in defeat Krejci posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, three rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Suns.

Impact The 24-year-old started in his third consecutive contest with Jalen Johnson (shoulder) sidelined, during which Krejci delivered a productive performance. In that three-game span, Krejci has averaged 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.3 minutes per contest. The swingman has seen significant playing time when injuries have popped up for the club, though he's not guaranteed to receive consistent minutes when Johnson returns.

JANUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Clippers Krejci is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Krejci will enter the starting lineup due to the absence of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). He's averaging 6.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in his previous three starts in 2024-25.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores season-high 14 points Krejci chipped in 14 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Dyson Daniels' return caused Krejci to come off the bench Wednesday after starting in Atlanta's previous two contests. However, Krejci still logged 28 minutes and scored a season-high 28 points. The 24-year-old guard should continue to be one of the Hawks' primary bench options in the backcourt moving forward.
