Overview
- Head coach Quin Snyder said Porzingis would be closely monitored and kept on a minutes restriction for his first game back.
- Porzingis came off the bench, scored 25 points and returned after roughly 10 days out, with Onyeka Okongwu starting at center.
- Jalen Johnson was cleared after right calf tightness and posted 21 points, 18 rebounds and 16 assists in his return.
- The Hawks updated Porzingis’ designation to “return to competition reconditioning” rather than listing an illness.
- It remains unclear whether Porzingis’ recent illness relates to the POTS diagnosis that sidelined him late last season.
