What happened

Jalen Johnson missed two games with a sprained ankle, then returned against Brooklyn and scored a game-high 30 points for Atlanta.

The Hawks ended the week 4-0 and moved to fourth in the Eastern Conference, while Quin Snyder also mixed the rotation by starting rookie Kingston Flemings earlier in the week.

LINEUP CONTEXT

Johnson’s availability changes Atlanta’s frontcourt mix, but Snyder’s earlier lineup tweak suggests the rotation can still shift game to game.
