ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 The Atlanta Hawks will be without All-Star forward Jalen Johnson and guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the second of a two-game home series against the Washington Wizards on Thursday night. <\/p>\n
Johnson exited Tuesday night\u2019s 119-98 win<\/a> against the Wizards in the first quarter with a left hip flexor injury<\/a>. He was ruled out after being evaluated by the training staff and finished the game with five points, three rebounds and two steals in six minutes.<\/p>\n Alexander-Walker will also be sidelined with a sprained left foot after previously being considered day-to-day. He scored 16 points and had five assists and three rebounds on Tuesday night. <\/p>\n Jonathan Kuminga and Zaccharie Risacher will join Dyson Daniels, Onyeka Okongwu<\/a> and CJ McCollum in the lineup instead. <\/p>\n Kuminga comes off a dominant outing in his Atlanta debut, scoring a team-high 27 points and adding seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Golden State Warriors sent Kuminga and Buddy Hield to the Hawks in exchange for center Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> at the trade deadline.<\/p>\n Risacher has taken on a different role for the Hawks over the past three games after being replaced by McCollum in the starting lineup<\/a>. McCollum is another of the Hawks\u2019 seven newcomers. He was acquired with Corey Kispert in the early January deal that sent Trae Young<\/a> to the Wizards.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
