Slides back to second unit Sunday Krejci will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mouhamed Gueye will return to the starting five on Sunday, pushing Krejci to the bench. Over his last five outings (one start), the 24-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 3.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 19.6 minutes per contest.

Scores 14 in spot start Krejci racked up 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to Miami.

Impact Krejci moved to a starting role for the first time since Jan. 28, and he made the most of his minutes en route to his first double-digit scoring performance since March 12. Krejci missed 10 games between Feb. 12 and March 8 due to a lumbar fracture, and he's struggled to post consistent numbers of late. He's averaging a mere 7.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in nine outings since returning from that injury.

Starting Thursday Krejci will start in Thursday's game against Miami.

Impact The 24-year-old will receive the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 30, pushing Mouhamed Gueye to the bench. Over eight appearances this month, Krejci has averaged 6.4 points, 2.5 assists and 1.6 rebounds across 18.5 minutes per game.

Impact Krejci has been productive off the bench for the Hawks, but low workloads have limited his fantasy appeal to deeper formats. Over his last four appearances in March, he's averaging 8.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Dishes out four assists in return Krejci (back) registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists, one rebound and one block across 17 minutes in Monday's 132-123 win over the 76ers.

Impact Krejci took the court for the first time since Feb. 10 after missing the Hawks' previous 10 games due to a lumbar fracture. While the Hawks were likely keeping his minutes in check in his return, Krejci won't necessarily have the opportunity to see his role increase in future contests. The Hawks were without both Trae Young (quadricep) and Caris LeVert (finger) on Monday, and Krejci, Keaton Wallace (31 minutes), Terance Mann (33 minutes) and Zaccharie Risacher (31 minutes) could all have their playing time get cut down a bit once once the two injured players return to action.

Available Monday Krejci (back) is available for Monday's game against the 76ers, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Krejci will return from a 10-game absence streak due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. However, it wouldn't come as a surprise if the 24-year-old operates under a minutes restriction during his return. Krejci joined the second unit in each of his last seven appearances before the absence streak, during which he averaged 8.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 23.4 minutes per contest.

Questionable for Monday Krejci (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Krejci has been sidelined for the Hawks' last 10 games due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture. He's progressed enough in his recovery to be given the questionable tag for Monday's game, but he'll have to at least go through pregame warmups before a determination on his status is made. Krejci was averaging 10.6 points, 3.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds over 27.2 minutes across the 20 games prior to his injury.

Not playing Saturday Krejci (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Krejci hasn't played since Feb. 10 due to a non-displaced lumbar fracture, and Sunday's game will come too soon for him. The fact that he was listed as questionable in the injury report Friday suggests he might be ready to return to action in the near future. His next chance to play will come against the 76ers on Monday.

Back from G League Atlanta recalled Krejci (back) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Impact Krejci spent the afternoon practicing with the Skyhawks and was quickly recalled. Based on previous reporting, he's likely a week away from returning to action for Atlanta.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Atlanta assigned Krejci to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.

Impact The Hawks announced back on Feb. 12 that Krejci was diagnosed with a non-displaced lumbar fracture and that he would be re-evaluated in 3-to-4 weeks. He's presumably going to the G League to ramp up his rehab process, so this could be a sign that he's poised to return to action in the near future.
