After establishing themselves as one of the league’s most intriguing young teams over the first few months of the season, the Atlanta Hawks have lost eight out of their last nine games, find themselves four games below .500, and are currently sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
To make matters worse, they got word last week that star forward*, Jalen Johnson, will be sidelined for the rest of the season after suffering a torn labrum in his left shoulder — which, combined with the team’s shaky play as of late, puts the front office in a position to act (or at the very least, explore their options) ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline.
