Hawks injury report for Sunday against Portland….

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

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.

Very odd. All looks right on my end. Hopefully it’ll fix itself or you can find the show on overcast, Spotify, YouTube, or at lockedonhawks.com

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.

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.

27.02.2026 02:33 β€” πŸ‘ 11    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

hey, Dyson Daniels made a three.

Corey Kispert's career high in scoring is 29 points.

27.02.2026 02:24 β€” πŸ‘ 6    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

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.

27.02.2026 02:21 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The Hawks had 3 turnovers in the first half.

The Hawks had 6 turnovers in the first 7 minutes of the second half.

27.02.2026 02:10 β€” πŸ‘ 4    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

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.

27.02.2026 02:07 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

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.

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
