ATLANTA HAWKS NEWS

John Collins - Unlikely to play Tuesday Collins (foot) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Boston, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Collins participated in a light workout Monday but hasn't been able to do any intense running yet. As a result, it appears as though he's trending toward a sixth consecutive absence due to a strained right foot. Danilo Gallinari should draw another start if Collins ultimately remains sidelined.

John Collins - Gets in light workout Monday Collins (foot) was shooting after practice Monday but hasn't progressed to any intense running, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Collins has missed the last five games as he continues to work his way back from a right foot strain, and it appears the organization has no intention of rushing him back from the injury. Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said that Collins is "getting better" and "feeling better," but it sounds like there's a good chance he'll remain sidelined Tuesday against Boston, although he hasn't been officially ruled out yet. If Collins sits again, Danilo Gallinari will likely draw another start at power forward for Atlanta.

Atlanta visits Boston following Young's 41-point performance

Atlanta faces the Boston Celtics after Trae Young scored 41 points in the Hawks' 127-100 victory against the Toronto Raptors

FEBRUARY 28, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Trae Young - Drops 41 points in blowout Young registered 41 points (17-24 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 127-100 victory over the Raptors.

Impact Coming off a poor effort in Thursday's loss to the Bulls (14 points on 3-for-17 shooting from the field), Young bounced back in a major way, pouring in 41 points for the second time in his last four games. Young also chipped in double-digit assists for the seventh time in the last nine games to notch his 46th career game with at least 30 points and 10 assists. Only eight other players in NBA history have produced more such games during their career.

Onyeka Okongwu - Plays 27 minutes off bench Okongwu closed Saturday's 127-100 win over the Raptors with 17 points (6-6 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 27 minutes.

Impact Okongwu continues to come off the bench behind Clint Capela, but it's clear the Hawks have been making an effort to find him more minutes over the last several weeks. With Saturday's game out of hand by the end of the third quarter, Okongwu was able to see extended action, while Capela played only 18 minutes. Of the two, Capela remains the more valuable fantasy option in the short term, but Okongwu is beginning to look more and more like a high-potential asset in dynasty formats.
