What happened: The Atlanta Hawks ruled out forward Jalen Johnson with a left ankle sprain and center Jock Landale with a left hip strain for Wednesday's game at Washington. Forward Mouhamed Gueye remains sidelined by a left foot fracture, while center Henri Veesaar is out with a torn right ACL.

Why it matters: The absences further deplete Atlanta's frontcourt depth after the team ruled out Johnson and Landale in Monday's 108-104 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Johnson has served as a primary offensive engine this season, leaving Atlanta to rely on adjusted perimeter rotations and reserve frontcourt minutes.

What to watch: Atlanta tips off against Washington on Wednesday night before returning home for their weekend slate.
