Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks due to a left wrist injury, as reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Fortunately, tests have indicated no fracture or need for surgery.<\/p>\n

Johnson, in his third season in the NBA, has emerged as one of the early candidates for the Most Improved Player award, averaging 14.1 points per game, 7.3 rebounds per game, and a 42.5% shooting accuracy from the three-point line.<\/p>\n

The absence of fractures is the best-case scenario for Johnson, who sustained the injury on Saturday night in Washington. The 6-foot-8 player has become a two-way force for Atlanta this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
