“It hit me, and it hit me like a truck,” Porzingis told The Athletic. “The breathing wasn’t good. I did everything I could potentially to feel as good as I could, but my engine wasn’t running the way I wanted.” Nonetheless, it seems like Kristaps Porzingis has finally gotten over it, as he aims to contribute big time for the Hawks this season. So, now that we know all about the seven-foot-two big man’s injury, why don’t we take a look at the other Atlanta stars? Atlanta Hawks injury report before their matchup vs the Brooklyn Nets While Kristaps Porzingis looks all but set to suit up tonight, there are a few other Atlanta Hawks players who might miss the game. This includes forward Jalen Johnson. The 23-year-old Hawks star is expected to be a game-day decision for the team. This comes as a result of Johnson suffering from an ankle injury. This could be a massive blow for Atlanta as he is one of the team’s better players and head coach Quin Snyder seems to trust him with a lot of minutes. After all, this season, Johnson is averaging 31 minutes per game. Johnson has done justice to the time he’s been trusted with on the hardwood. In the three games he’s played this season, the former Duke standout has averaged 19.7 points along with 4 assists and 7 rebounds per game while shooting 56.1 percent from the field. So his absence tonight might be a daunting one for the Hawks. Nonetheless, even though there’s a chance we might see Johnson in action, and if we don’t, Mouhamed Gueye would take his place.
