Re: Jalen Johnson: His fracture involves the radius, the bone located on the thumb side of the lower arm. Richaun Holmes missed 28 days after suffering a similar injury in 2017. Average time lost for all other nondescript wrist fx’s that did not require surgery is ~31 days. – 3:35 PM

Hawks up 29 after 3 in Washington..won’t have to tax themselves too much ahead of the back-to-back in Boston tomorrow.
Jalen Johnson (wrist) did not return after getting fouled by Kyle Kuzma in the 2nd quarter. Might not see him tomorrow.
Hawks top 8 have been healthy all year. – 8:47 PM

Lauren L. Williams: Pre game I asked Snyder about how they would help Jalen Johnson keep his confidence up and he said it’s not so much about confidence, rather just doing what he can do. pic.twitter.com/6D4i0PLl4l -via Twitter @WilliamsLaurenL / November 26, 2023
Kevin Chouinard: Jalen Johnson update: He underwent an X-ray last night in Washington and an MRI this morning in Boston. He has been diagnosed with a left distal radius fracture. He will be re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks and his status will be updated as appropriate. -via Twitter @KLChouinard / November 26, 2023
The Hawks forward eventually stepped to the free-throw line and missed the first of his two shots. He then took the second free throw with only his right hand before exiting the game and going to the locker room. The team did not provide complete details on Johnson’s injury but ruled him out for the remainder of the game with a left wrist injury. According to a person familiar with the situation, Johnson will undergo further testing on his wrist in the coming days. -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / November 26, 2023
