Update: Jonathan Kuminga is OUT for the Hawks tonight in Milwaukee.

Earlier, the Bucks announced that Kevin Porter Jr. was out for tonight with right knee swelling.
Both teams dealing with busier injury reports than expected.
no i would've done that trade for sure
i also took queen in the locked on mock draft at 13 and that would've been a good pick
he's got huge defensive challenges but a talented player
Jonathan Kuminga has been added to the Hawks injury report for tonight with left knee inflammation.
He's listed as questionable.
It's the same knee that kept him out of the first few games after the trade.
Imagine telling someone three years ago that Onyeka Okongwu would have more 3's than Karl-Anthony Towns in fewer minutes played.

Onyeka Okongwu has 117 three-pointers this season.
That is the 2nd-most of any center in the entire NBA, trailing only Myles Turner.
Okongwu made 4 threes COMBINED in his first 3 NBA seasons.
Tremendous development story.
a positive late night result for the hawks
(atlanta is also within 2.5 games of the number six seed)
The Hawks are between 1.5-point underdogs and 1.5-point favorites tonight in Milwaukee... if you enjoy that sort of thing.
Clean injury report for Atlanta.
Taurean Prince is out for the Bucks. Giannis is back in the lineup.
Effectively a coin flip as ATL seeks a 5th straight win.

(will have another episode late tonight on the new hawks two-way signing, bucks preview, etc.)
With Giannis back, old friend Taurean Prince is the only injury absence for Milwaukee.

Hawks injury report for Wednesday in Milwaukee:
None to report.
(havenβt seen that one often this season)
Dyson Daniels was a nominee for Eastern Conference Defensive Player of the Month for February.
Derrick White was the winner.
The Hawks are signing Keshon Gilbert to a Two-Way deal.
@jakelfischer.bsky.social had it first.
The 22-year-old Gilbert played 3 games for the Wizards earlier this season.
6β4 guard who played at both UNLV and Iowa State.
Atlantaβs roster is full again.

helpful result here for the hawks with giannis returning
atlanta now with a 4-game lead on milwaukee
(and charlotte has a 3.5-game lead on milwaukee for the 10-seed as well)
On this, I've heard the Hawks have been looking around to potentially fill their open Two-Way slot that was created when they converted Caleb Houstan.

Jalen Johnson had his 3rd-lowest scoring game of the season and the 2nd-lowest in which he actually played the whole game.
The Hawks still won by 34 points and had one of their best offensive games of the year.
Encouraging sign all the way around.
By my (rough) count, the Hawks had their 2nd-best offensive rating of the season tonight in the 34-point win over the Blazers.
Shot 55.4% from the field and 15-40 from 3 with 36 assists and 13 off. rebounds.
(Ironically, their best off. rtg came in a game they lost to Chicago)
Onyeka Okongwu just hit a corner 3 in front of Portland's bench and held up 7 fingers.
(It's his 7th three of the game, and the Blazers have been playing off him most of the night)
4 stocks in 18 minutes for Zaccharie Risacher.
Active defensive game for him.
(Also has been overpowered a couple times on drives.)
