Jalen Johnson to miss significant time?
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.

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.

Jalen Johnson, an emerging young player for the Hawks, exits after injuring his left wrist on a fall into the bottom of the basket. Kyle Kuzma committed the foul and seemed concerned right away it was bad. – 7:45 PM
