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.
An exciting matchup is on the horizon as the Atlanta Hawks take on the defending champion Boston Celtics on Saturday in a clash between two Eastern Conference teams.
Johnson (shoulder) has been cleared to play for Saturday's game against the Celtics. After missing the last five games with a shoulder issue, Johnson will return to the floor Saturday against Boston.
