What happened: The Atlanta Hawks listed forward Jalen Johnson as questionable for Friday's game against Washington with a left ankle sprain. Atlanta ruled out Asa Newell due to a left great toe hyperextension, Jock Landale with a left hip strain, and Keshon Gilbert with left knee inflammation.

Why it matters: Atlanta sits fourth in the Eastern Conference with a 5-4 record through nine games following two consecutive victories. Johnson's potential absence strains frontcourt depth with both Landale and Newell already sidelined.

By the numbers: Johnson has recorded 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game in 2026-27 through 7 games. Landale has recorded 6.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game in 2026-27 through 7 games, while Newell has recorded 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game in 2026-27 through 5 games.

What to watch: The Hawks face Washington on Friday, with Johnson's availability to be determined prior to tipoff.
