The Hawks will have to take on the Bulls on Wednesday in their first game in the NBA Play-In Tournament without two key pieces of their rotation. The team provided injury updates on forward Jalen Johnson and center Onyeka Okongwu, and both players will miss significant time.
Johnson exited Tuesday’s game against the Heat in the third quarter with a right ankle sprain. He had an MRI on Wednesday at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex, and doctors diagnosed him with a Grade 2 lateral ankle sprain. He will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks.
Okongwu had a non-surgical procedure Tuesday at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. The procedure addressed ongoing inflammation in his left big toe. He will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
