Hawks forward Jalen Johnson left Wednesday night’s game against the Cavaliers at State Farm Arena due to an injury in the third quarter.
The Hawks said Johnson suffered a right ankle sprain and he did not return to the game.
Following the 112-101 win, the Hawks did not provide an update on Johnson but said they would provide one when they had more information.
With 10:36 left to play in the third, Johnson went up to grab an offensive rebound and landed awkwardly on his right leg. He immediately went to the ground and rolled out of bounds while grabbing at his ankle.
The 22-year-old went to the Hawks locker room but had to use the opposing team’s tunnel to get there.
At the time, the Hawks led the Cavaliers 67-52, with Johnson contributing seven points, four rebounds, four assists and one block.
