Hawks injury report for Sunday against Portlandβ¦.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (left foot sprain) is questionable.
Jalen Johnson (left hip flexor irritation) is questionable.
even if they decline the option, Kuminga would have a big cap hold
they could relinquish it to clear money, but not if they want to use his bird rights to bring him back
remember when google actually worked well as a search engine?
fond memories
yeah don't have the audio in front of me but he downplayed that it was the same
(he's also missed more time with illness this season than any player in the league by a wide margin)
Worth noting that Porzingis himself gave the interview that pointed to POTS.
The Hawks never used that diagnosis in any official way and steadfastly would not release any more information than simply calling it an illness.

The Hawks are now 16-1 when they allow 1.075 points per possession or fewer this season.
Only loss was a 99-98 result on the road in Detroit.
The Hawks brought Caleb Houstan up from the G League and sent Asa Newell back to College Park.

Didn't have the final numbers when I recorded the pod (up shortly!) but just confirmed that the Hawks finished with their best defensive rating (90.6) of the season tonight in the blowout win over Washington.

The Hawks throttled the Wizards for the 2nd time in 3 days, winning their 3rd straight game overall.
Corey Kispert was the big individual story with a career high 33 points.
A "taking care of business" win but notably breezy even without Jalen and NAW.
Locked On Hawks Podcast to come later.
Dyson Daniels might be done for the night, and if so, he was tremendous.
13 points, 11 assists, 5 steals and a game-best +28.
hey, Dyson Daniels made a three.

Corey Kispert's career high in scoring is 29 points.
He's got 26 with 11 minutes left.
Hawks played quite poorly in the third quarter.
Then you look up and they only lost the quarter by 2 points because Kuminga had a nice late flurry and, well, they're playing the Wizards.
The Hawks had 3 turnovers in the first half.
The Hawks had 6 turnovers in the first 7 minutes of the second half.
Bub Carrington is on tilt.

Hawks 1-7 from the floor with 4 turnovers to open the 2nd half.
Not exactly the push they would've liked to put this one away.
Lead down to 14.
Hawks lead the Wizards by 20 at halftime.
CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert finished with 44 points on 16-23 from the field in the half against their former team.
Only 3 turnovers in the half for Atlanta.
Dyson Daniels has 10 points, 6 assists, and 5 (yes, 5) steals in 15 minutes.

Corey Kispert is having an out-of-body experience.
He has 19 points in 7 minutes.
Corey Kispert red-hot against his former team.
Made his first 4 shots, including 3 threes.
Dyson Daniels with a 4-point, 5-assist, 2-steal first quarter that was pretty on-brand for him in a positive way.
Hawks were also +15 in his minutes.
Atlanta leads by 11 after Q1.
no rotation surprises for the hawks so far
the first 9 guys were all in the rotation on tuesday
TBD on whether they go any deeper
Hawks led by 12 pretty quickly but the margin is down 4, leading to a quick timeout.
