Massive double-double in loss

Okongwu posted 28 points (12-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 50 minutes during Friday's 123-114 overtime Play-In Game loss to Miami. Okongwu played a game-high 50 minutes in Friday's elimination game, and he finished as the game's leading rebounder and third in points behind Tyler Herro (30) and Trae Young (29). Okongwu earned a permanent spot in Atlanta's starting lineup January 20 and established himself as a cornerstone piece for the franchise. As a starter during the regular season, Okongwu averaged 14.9 points on 58.1 percent shooting, 10.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks over 31.1 minutes per game.
Grabs nine boards in Play-In Game

Okongwu registered 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and one block in 33 minutes in Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic. Okongwu was one rebound shy from recording a double-double, and he finished second on the Hawks in boards behind Dyson Daniels (12). Okongwu ended the regular season having averaged 15.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks over 32.2 minutes per game since the All-Star break. The Hawks will play at home Friday for the eighth spot in the East against the winner of Wednesday's Play-In Game between the Bulls and Heat.
Absent from injury report

Okongwu (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's Play-In Game against the Magic, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. After sitting out Sunday's regular-season finale against Orlando, Okongwu is unsurprisingly set to be available for Tuesday's meeting with the Magic. With Clint Capela (hand) still out of action, Okongwu should dominate the center minutes for the Hawks. Okongwu put together a breakout campaign in 2024-25, and he averaged 16.2 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 33.3 minutes over his final 14 games of the regular season.
Won't play Sunday

Okongwu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Okongwu has been downgraded from questionable to out and will be joined on the sidelines by Georges Niang (rest), Trae Young (Achilles), Clint Capela (hand), Dyson Daniels (rest) and Caris LeVert (knee). They should all be back in action for Atlanta's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Magic on Tuesday.
Questionable for Sunday

Okongwu is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management. The Hawks have several regulars in danger of missing the regular-season finale, and the team must be smart about managing workloads since the Hawks will also play the Magic on Tuesday in the Play-In Tournament. Okongwu has started every game since the All-Star break for the Hawks, averaging 15.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks in 26 appearances.
Logs career-high 30 points in loss

Okongwu ended Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Magic with 30 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 14 rebounds, four assists and three steals across 40 minutes. Okongwu stuffed the stat sheet against Orlando, recording a team- and career-high mark in points Tuesday. Moreover, the 24-year-old sank a career-high four triples. The fifth-year big man also posted a game-high mark in rebounds en route to his second consecutive double-double, marking his 27th such outing on the season. Okongwu also led the Hawks with three steals and has logged multiple swipes in 18 of his 72 regular-season appearances thus far.
Paces Atlanta in victory

Okongwu totaled 27 points (12-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Sunday's 147-134 victory over Utah.
