Garrison Mathews News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Takes advantage of playing time Matthews posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 14 minutes in Monday's 132-130 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Matthews took advantage of a rare uptick in minutes, converting on three three-pointers and eclipsing double figures in a big road win Monday. The 28-year-old saw regular minutes off the bench to start the season, but has largely been phased out of the rotation, as he didn't appear in eight straight games to close February. With Georges Niang (illness) not playing, Matthews answered the call and had a very productive night.

Limited role continues Mathews had three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 100-96 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Mathews scored in single-digits for the eighth straight game, continuing to play a limited role off the bench for Atlanta. Although he has been an every-night part of the rotation for the past five weeks, he has been unable to provide them with a consistent scoring punch. Given his limited skill set, there is no reason to think he will step into a larger role any time soon.

Impact Mathews made made his second start of the 2024-25 regular season against the Nuggets on Wednesday and finished with nine points, five rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes in a 139-120 loss. Mathews will return to the bench Friday due to the return of Jalen Johnson (shoulder).

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

In starting lineup Mathews is part of the Hawks' first unit for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews will step into Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) spot in the starting five. Mathews has been red-hot lately, averaging 14.8 points and shooting 48.3 percent from three-point range during his last four outings. He's slated to see somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes Wednesday.

Stays hot in win Mathews closed with 11 points (2-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Sunday's 136-107 win over Toronto.

Impact Mathews picked up a few extra minutes with Dyson Daniels (illness) sidelined, and there was some garbage time Sunday as well in the lopsided win. Mathews has been on a heater over the past four games for Atlanta, averaging 14.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Pops for 25 points in win Mathews racked up 25 points (7-8 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 117-104 win over Minnesota.

Impact Mathews came out of nowhere to score a season-high 25 points, helping the Hawks to an impressive victory. Coming into the win, Mathews had scored a total of 12 points in the previous 12 games, highlighting just how unexpected this performance was. Based on what we have seen to this point, there is no reason to think Mathews can repeat this effort, assuming the Hawks remain relatively injury-free.

Rejoins reserves Mathews will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews nabbed a spot start in Atlanta's last game. However, with Jalen Johnson (lower leg) available, Mathews will shift back to the second unit. In 14 appearances, Mathews is averaging 10.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 21.7 minutes.

Drawing spot start Mathews is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews is in line for his first start of the 2024-25 campaign after Jalen Johnson (lower leg) was ruled out 15 minutes prior to tipoff. Mathews is averaging 7.2 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 18.4 minutes in his last five games off the bench, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him reach the 20-minute threshold Monday.

Struggles in victory Tuesday Mathews finished with two points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 win over Boston.

Impact Despite logging 23 minutes, Mathews came up short in terms of production, highlighting the fact that his overall appeal is limited to just one category. The Hawks continue to deal with a couple of injuries in their backcourt, affording Mathews some additional playing time. However, once they get healthy bodies back on the floor, Mathews will likely slide down in the rotation.

Tallies season-high 23 points Mathews racked up 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 123-115 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Mathews's scoring punch off the bench wasn't enough for Atlanta to overcome Sacrament on Friday. Still, the 28-year-old guard is scorching the nets from deep to begin the season, converting 51.4 percent of his 7.4 three-point attempts per contest.

Scores 14 points Mathews posted 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder.

Impact After failing to crack the rotation on Opening Night, Mathews has appeared in two games with averages of 11.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers. Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) are both battling injuries, and Mathews has shown that he's capable of stepping up for the Hawks.

Hawks exercise team option The Hawks have exercised the $2.23 million team option for Mathews on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Mathews had a solid season in his first full year with the Hawks. The 27-year-old averaged 4.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 15.0 minutes in 66 regular-season games. This included an uptick in playing time for the sharpshooter post All-Star break, during which he averaged 6.9 points in 18.5 minutes. Mathews also shot a career-high 44.0 percent from three last season, earning him more recognition as a valuable role player.

Leads bench in scoring Mathews chipped in eight points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game loss to Chicago.

Impact Since the All-Star break, the 27-year-old averaged 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 45.8 percent from the field, playing valuable minutes during Trae Young's (finger) absence. With the Hawks looking to test the trade market around Young and possibly Dejounte Murray after a disappointing year, Atlanta will have until June 29 to decide whether they want Mathews back next season, which would fully guarantee his contract.

Hits four threes off bench Saturday Mathews ended Saturday's 132-91 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes.

Impact Mathews was one of two players -- with Bruno Fernando being the other -- who took full advantage of playing extra minutes off the bench. This resulted in Mathews scoring in double digits for the first time this season while also posting a season-best mark in three-pointers made. Mathews will continue to have a limited role off the bench going forward, so there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not a sign of things to come ahead of the final three weeks of the regular season.

Offers little in victory Mathews produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Mathews managed just three points in nine minutes, continuing what has been a modest season, to say the least. Although he has featured in most games over the past month, he has barely been a top-300 player in nine-category leagues.
