Jalen Johnson (Atlanta Hawks)
October 2025
Returning from shoulder surgery, Johnson is fully fit and eager to build on his breakout form before injury. He averaged career highs last year and now looks ready to step up as Atlanta’s potential second All-Star behind Trae Young.
After training with LeBron James, Johnson sharpened his shooting and conditioning while embracing a bigger defensive role. Coach Quin Snyder highlighted his playmaking and willingness to adapt to new teammates, believing Johnson could be a central figure in Atlanta’s reshaped roster.
