The Hawks have a tough schedule ahead as they charge toward the NBA All-Star break. But that schedule looks a little tougher with the potential long-term absence of forward Jalen Johnson.

While there is no official timetable for Johnson's return, he will likely miss at least a few of Atlanta's upcoming outings.

Team says young star ‘will be listed as out as he undergoes further medical testing and evaluation’ after injuring shoulder Thursday in loss to Raptors.

Johnson will miss Saturday's contest due to a left shoulder injury he suffered against Toronto on Thursday. De'Andre Hunter and David Roddy are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Minnesota.

The Atlanta Hawks are currently in a state of uncertainty as they await an injury update on Jalen Johnson. In their latest game against the Toronto Raptors, Johnson injured his left shoulder in the first half and was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Johnson had missed five straight games earlier this month due to right shoulder inflammation, but it was an injury to his other shoulder that forced him out of Thursday's contest early in the second quarter.
