Jock Landale Heads Into 2026-27 Healthy After a Steady Season in Atlanta
newsroom · 16 min agoJock Landale is back with the Hawks for 2026-27, wearing No. 31 at center, and he's not on the injury report. He's coming off a 2025-26 season in which he played 68 games for Atlanta and posted efficient shooting numbers. The new season hasn't tipped off yet, with the opener still ahead.
Landale's Spot on the Roster
Jock Landale returns to Atlanta for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 31 at center. He's listed at 6-11, 255 pounds, out of St. Mary's, and he's entering his fifth NBA season at age 30. Last season, playing for Atlanta, he appeared in 68 games and averaged 22.1 minutes a night. Landale gives the Hawks a big body who can space the floor and finish inside. He's not a high-usage player — his usage rate last season sat at 17.7 percent — but he's a steady frontcourt option who logs real minutes. With camp underway, Landale is in line to keep that same kind of role for Atlanta this season.
By the Numbers: 2025-26
Landale's 2025-26 season with Atlanta was efficient across the board. He averaged 10.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks a game across 68 appearances, with just 0.9 turnovers a night. He shot 51.5 percent from the field and 38.3 percent from three, numbers that show real touch for a 6-11 center. His free-throw shooting sat at 63.5 percent. Put together, his true shooting percentage was 59.5, a strong mark for a big man who also stretches the floor. His plus-minus for the season was -0.8. Those are last season's numbers — the 2026-27 season is still ahead, and nothing has been played yet.
Shooting Touch for a Big Man
What stands out in Landale's profile is the shooting. A 51.5 percent mark from the field paired with 38.3 percent from three last season is a rare combination for a center his size. That efficiency pushed his true shooting to 59.5 percent, and it's part of why he's valuable even with a modest 17.7 usage rate — he doesn't need a heavy role to be effective. His free-throw percentage, 63.5, is the softer number in the shooting profile. Across 68 games and 22.1 minutes a night, Landale showed he can be a low-mistake, high-efficiency piece in Atlanta's frontcourt, turning the ball over less than once a game on average.
Health Report
As of now, Landale is not on the injury report, and there is no injury history on file for him. That's a clean bill of health heading into camp, which matters for a 30-year-old center who logs real minutes in the paint every night. Last season he was durable, too, appearing in 68 games for Atlanta. For the Hawks, having Landale healthy and available is one less question mark at the center spot as they put together their frontcourt rotation for the 2026-27 season. No further health updates are on file at this time, and nothing beyond this is known about his condition.
What's Ahead in 2026-27
The 2026-27 season hasn't tipped off yet for Landale and the Hawks. There's no rumor buzz on file involving him right now, and no recent game results to report — the schedule is still ahead. Coming off a season where he averaged 10.6 points and 5.7 rebounds in 22.1 minutes a night, Landale heads into camp as a known quantity: a reliable, efficient center who doesn't turn the ball over much. The opener is coming, and Atlanta will look for Landale to pick up where he left off last season at both ends of the floor once games begin.
