What happened: Kingston Flemings was ejected from Atlanta's 121-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Oct. 31 for throwing an elbow. The league then added to his punishment, and the Hawks' injury report lists him as out with a league suspension.

Why it matters: Atlanta is 3-4 through seven games in 2026-27. Flemings, the No. 8 pick in the 2026 draft, is averaging 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists in seven games this season.

What to watch: Flemings is out for Atlanta's next game, and the Hawks have since ruled him out for their Monday game against Indiana.
