LeVert (knee) tallied 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six assists and two rebounds across 24 minutes Saturday in the Hawks' 124-115 win over the Warriors.
LeVert had missed the Hawks' previous two games with a sore knee but returned to his familiar role as the team's sixth man. He finished second in scoring among Atlanta bench players, as Georges Niang stepped up with a 23-point effort. Since being acquired from the Cavaliers on Feb. 6, LeVert is averaging 16.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 27.5 minutes per contest over 15 appearances with the Hawks.
LeVert (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus the Warriors.
After missing Atlanta's previous two contests due to right knee soreness, LeVert will be back in action and is unlikely to face any major playing-time restrictions. LeVert should continue to operate as one of the Hawks' primary bench options out of the backcourt.

Hawks' Trae Young: Likely to play Saturday
Rotowire
Young (Achilles) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Young has been managing right Achilles tendinitis for a while, but the injury doesn't look as though it will threaten his availability for Saturday's contest. The 26-year-old guard has played at least 30 minutes in each of Atlanta's last four games while averaging 27.8 points, 9.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.5 steals.

Hawks' Caris LeVert: Should play Saturday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against Golden State, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
LeVert sat out the Hawks' last two games due to right knee soreness, but he seems to be trending toward playing Saturday.

Hawks' Clint Capela: Out at least three weeks
Rotowire
Capela underwent an MRI on Monday that revealed a ligament injury in the fourth metacarpal of his left hand, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He'll be out for 3-to-4 weeks before being re-evaluated.
Capela had missed the Hawks' last four games due to a family matter, but he apparently injured his hand at some point before his recent leave of absence. Given the timeline laid out by the Hawks, Capela won't be back before the end of the regular season, and the team may need to advance past the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament for the veteran center to have a chance at playing again during the 2024-25 campaign. Dominick Barlow has stepped in for Capela over the past four games as the Hawks' backup center and has averaged 7.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 assists in 17.5 minutes per contest. Barlow should continue to hold down a spot in the rotation for the foreseeable future, at least until Larry Nance (knee) is cleared to play again.
Hawks' Dominick Barlow: Notches season highs in victory
Rotowire
Barlow logged 12 points (6-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 134-102 victory over the Hornets.
The 21-year-old saw the floor for a fourth consecutive contest due to Clint Capela (personal) being sidelined. Barlow posted season-high marks in points and rebounds while serving as the club's backup center Tuesday. The third-year big man will likely continue to see double-digit minutes until Capela returns to game action.

Additionally, the big man tied the game-high mark in steals, recording his eighth outing with multiple swipes on the season. The 24-year-old has carved out a significant role in the starting five this season, and he is on pace to average career highs in points, rebounds, assists, steals, three-pointers and minutes.

Rotowire
Daniels contributed 22 points (10-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 134-102 win over the Hornets.
Daniels stuffed the stat sheet in the blowout win, recording his fourth outing on the season with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. Additionally, the defensive-minded shooting guard notched two-plus steals for a sixth consecutive contest, marking his 49th game on the season with multiple swipes.

Additionally, the star point guard led the Hawks with a game high in assists, and he is on pace to average a career-high 11.4 assists per game over 64 regular-season appearances. Young also tied the game-high mark in steals, and he has logged multiple swipes in 22 games.
Young (Achilles) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Young has been managing an Achilles issue for quite some time, but it won't keep him out of Tuesday's game in Charlotte. The superstar guard is coming off an impressive performance in Sunday's loss to the Nets, finishing with 28 points, 12 assists, six rebounds and two steals. He's averaging 24.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals and a career-high 11.5 assists per game this season for the Hawks.
Young (Achilles) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The Hawks continue to list Young on the injury report due to lingering right Achilles tendinitis, though he has missed only three matchups since Jan. 15. The star point guard has averaged 22.5 points, 11.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds across 35.7 minutes per contest in his last 10 outings. However, Young has averaged only 1.3 three-pointers per game in that 10-game span, shooting just 22.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Hawks' Caris LeVert: Ruled out for Tuesday
Rotowire
LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
He'll be sidelined for a second straight game due to a sore knee. After Tuesday, the Hawks will have four days off before their next game Saturday versus the Warriors, giving LeVert some time to potentially move past the injury. In the veteran guard's absence Tuesday, the Hawks could give Vit Krejci and Terance Mann more playing time off the bench.

Hawks' Vit Krejci: Records two steals
Rotowire
Krejci posted eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 122-114 loss to the Nets.
Krejci has been productive off the bench for the Hawks, but low workloads have limited his fantasy appeal to deeper formats. Over his last four appearances in March, he's averaging 8.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 blocks, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.
