Hawks Provide Big Update For Onyeka Okongwu's Injury Okongwu injured his toe in a loss vs the Chicago Bulls
Hawks won't have center Onyeka Okongwu for at least two more weeks Okongwu left the game against the Bulls on Feb. 12.
FEBRUARY 24 • AJC.COM
Re-evaluated in two weeks Okongwu (toe) is in a walking boot and expected to be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Impact Okongwu sprained his left big toe shortly before the All-Star break and is not yet near a return. While he is sidelined for at least the next two weeks, Bruno Fernando figures to be the primary backup behind Clint Capela at center. However, Mouhamed Gueye (back) could see some action as well, while Jalen Johnson could also get some extra work if Atlanta opts to go small.

Grabs seven boards in return Capela (adductor) tallied five points (1-4 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes Friday in the Hawks' 123-121 loss to the Raptors.
Impact Capela took back his spot in the starting five Friday after he had missed the Hawks' final six games before the All-Star break with a left adductor strain, but he was on a minutes limit in his return to action. Though his production was somewhat suppressed as a result of the playing-time restriction, Capela should eventually get ramped up to a near-30-minute-role while the Hawks are without Onyeka Okongwu (toe) for the foreseeable future. Bruno Fernando (11 minutes Friday) should remain part of the Hawks' rotation, but he doesn't present as much of a threat to Capela's playing time as Okongwu had prior to suffering a left big toe sprain.

Drops 22 off bench Friday Hunter produced 22 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-121 loss to Toronto.
Impact The 26-year-old forward topped 20 points in his last two games before the All-Star break, and Hunter picked up right where he left off coming out of it. After missing over a month of action due to a knee issue, he appears to be 100 percent again, although the Hawks are still managing his workload. Over his last six contests, Hunter is averaging 19.0 points, 4.0 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.5 assists over 24.5 minutes a game while shooting 52.2 percent from the floor and 48.4 percent (15-for-31) from beyond the arc.

Pops for 18 against Raptors Bey provided 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to Toronto.
Impact The fourth-year forward just missed his ninth double-double of the season. Bey appears to be blossoming in Atlanta -- he's scored in double digits in seven straight games, and 12 straight if you don't count a Feb. 2 tilt against Phoenix that he left early due to a minor ankle injury. In those 12 contests, Bey is averaging 18.3 points, 7.6 boards, 2.3 threes and 2.1 assists.

Another double-double Friday Johnson supplied 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-3 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to the Raptors.
Impact The third-year forward recorded his second straight double-double and seventh in the last 11 games, picking up right where he left off prior to the All-Star break. Johnson is averaging 16.1 points, 10.4 boards, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 threes over that stretch, and while he was already having a breakout campaign, he might be able to find another gear the rest of the way.

Double-double in Friday's loss Murray chipped in a team-high 24 points (10-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to the Raptors.
Impact After failing to score more than 17 points in either of his final two games before the All-Star break, Murray bounced back with his first double-double since Jan. 22 when the Hawks' schedule resumed. The 27-year-old guard has been generally productive despite struggling to find his range from beyond the arc -- over his last eight games he's averaging 21.8 points, 6.9 assists, 6.3 boards, 1.4 threes and 1.3 steals despite shooting just 20.8 percent (11-for-53) on his three-point attempts.

FEBRUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Officially starting Capela (adductor) is officially starting at center in Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Capela is set to return to the court following a six-game absence that led into the All-Star break. The 29-year-old will replace Bruno Fernando in the starting lineup. However, given how long he has been sidelined, the big man is expected to be on a minutes restriction per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
