He's coming off a 2025-26 season where he averaged 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game for the Hawks.

Where Things Stand
Jalen Johnson is entering the 2026-27 season with Atlanta, wearing number 1 and listed at forward. He's 6-8, 219 pounds, 24 years old, and heading into his fifth NBA season out of Duke. There's no game log yet for the new season, so the picture right now is built on last year's production and his current health status. He is not on the injury report. For Hawks fans looking ahead, the key storylines are what he did in 2025-26 and how that workload carries into the season opener.
A Career-Best 2025-26
Johnson played 72 games last season for Atlanta, a full workload at 35.2 minutes a night. He averaged 22.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game, numbers that put him near a nightly triple-double pace. He added 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks. His usage rate sat at 26.4 percent, confirming he was a central option in the Hawks offense rather than a complementary piece. Those totals mark last season as a clear step forward in his role and production for Atlanta.

He did turn the ball over 3.4 times per game, the cost of running as much offense through him as Atlanta did.
