The Atlanta Hawks, currently riding a strong run of form, are expected to keep forward Jalen Johnson and are not considering moving him ahead of the trade deadline, Hoops Wire reported.
The report indicates that despite outside interest, Atlanta’s front office intends to stand pat on any potential deals involving the 22-year-old. Johnson, a 2021 first-round pick, has become a regular part of head coach Quin Snyder’s rotation and is viewed internally as a key piece of the club’s future plans.
The Hawks’ commitment to Johnson comes as the team continues to climb the Eastern Conference standings on the strength of improved defense and balanced scoring.
