Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Stuffs stat sheet in win Sunday
Alexander-Walker accumulated 26 points (9-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-122 victory over the Suns.
Alexander-Walker was the Hawks' second-best scorer in this matchup behind Onyeka Okongwu, who finished with 27 points. Alexander-Walker has been embracing a bigger role due to the absence of Trae Young (knee) and has stepped up as a reliable backcourt threat when available. Alexander-Walker is averaging 18.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role, a trend that will continue as long as Young remains out.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Scores 14 points in return
Alexander-Walker registered 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-100 victory over the Kings.
Alexander-Walker returned from a two-game absence due to a back concern, sliding straight back into the starting lineup. After a strong start to the season, Alexander-Walker has been thrust into a starting role following a knee injury to Trae Young. Through 10 games, Alexander-Walker is averaging 17.2 points, 3.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.9 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per game.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Upgraded to probable
Alexander-Walker (back) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's game in Sacramento, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Available Wednesday
Alexander-Walker (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Alexander-Walker will return to action following a two-game absence due to lower back spasms. The 27-year-old swingman has started each of his last four appearances, averaging 19.3 points, 3.3 assists and 2.3 rebounds while shooting 48.0 percent from the field in 32.0 minutes per game during that span.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Iffy for Wednesday
Alexander-Walker (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Kings, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Alexander-Walker is in jeopardy of missing his third straight game due to lower back spasms. If the 27-year-old joins Trae Young (knee) on the sidelines once again, Keaton Wallace and Vit Krejci are candidates for a bump in minutes. Over his last five appearances (four starts), Alexander-Walker has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Alexander-Walker will miss his second straight matchup while dealing with back spasms. Keaton Wallace entered the starting lineup in Alexander-Walker's place Saturday and could have another opportunity to run with the first unit Monday night, though Vit Krejci and Luke Kennard will also be in contention for increased roles.

Alexander-Walker will miss his first game of the season due to a back issue, and his next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Clippers.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Drops 20 in win
Alexander-Walker contributed 20 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 127-112 win over the Magic.
Alexander-Walker has stepped up offensively in Trae Young's (knee) place, dropping 20-plus points twice over the three starts since Young was sidelined. However, Alexander-Walker does need to work on his turnover issue, as he lost the ball seven times Tuesday and is averaging five in his last three starts.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Drops 16 in loss
Alexander-Walker ended with 16 points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block across 34 minutes during Sunday's 117-109 loss to the Cavaliers.
Alexander-Walker has filled in admirably for Trae Young (knee), posting 18.5 points, 4.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks in the two games he has started as a result of Young's absence. Alexander-Walker will likely continue to see extended usage until Young returns. However, despite seeing more volume, Alexander-Walker has not been efficient from behind the arc, shooting 27.3 percent on the season and 20.0 percent in starts.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Shines in spot start
Alexander-Walker posted 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 128-108 win over the Pacers.
Alexander-Walker drew the start in place of Trae Young, who was ruled out due to a knee injury. Alexander-Walker continues to fare well offensively, as he's now scored 17 or more points in five of his first six appearances of the 2025-26 campaign. He's also provided a spark defensively by racking up two steals in three of his last four matchups.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Starting sans Young
Alexander-Walker is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pacers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
The Hawks are awaiting some clarity on Trae Young's (knee) injury, and Alexander-Walker will get the first look in the first unit in Young's stead. Alexander-Walker has averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 30.0 minutes per contest in five games this season.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Sizeable role incoming
Alexander-Walker recorded 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 win over Brooklyn.
Alexander-Walker shifted to the bench Wednesday, although that could be a short-term move following a knee injury to Trae Young. While it is only being reported as a knee sprain, there is a decent chance Young will miss time moving forward. Alexander-Walker has been arguably the most consistent player for the Hawks this season and could very well find himself with a sizeable role, at least for the short term. If he is available in your league, you may want to go and rectify that immediately.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Moving to bench Monday
Alexander-Walker is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Alexander-Walker started the previous two games but will return to a bench role with Zaccharie Risacher (ankle), Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all back in action. In his Hawks debut off the bench Wednesday against the Raptors, Alexander-Walker posted 10 points, four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 28 minutes.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Paces Atlanta in loss
Alexander-Walker contributed 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block over 30 minutes in Saturday's 117-100 loss to the Thunder.
Alexander-Walker led a short-handed Hawks team in scoring Saturday with Zaccharie Risacher (ankle), Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined. The wing made his second consecutive start and, while scoring slightly less than in his previous outing, was much sharper from deep, hitting 50 percent of his three-point attempts after shooting just 10 percent from distance Friday. Though Alexander-Walker likely won't start when Atlanta is fully healthy, the team's current injury situation should keep him heavily involved, and he projects to log consistent minutes even when coming off the bench.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Drops 19 points in start
Alexander-Walker closed with 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 111-107 victory over the Magic.
Alexander-Walker moved into the starting lineup, replacing Zaccharie Risacher, who was ruled out with an ankle injury. The move yielded immediate rewards, with Alexander-Walker scoring 19 points in the comeback victory. This is precisely why the Hawks acquired him during the offseason, to provide the team with much-needed depth at the guard position. While he will clearly be an every-night part of the rotation, managers shouldn't expect this kind of production on a regular basis.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Starting sans Risacher
Alexander-Walker will start in Friday's game against the Magic.
With Zaccharie Risacher (ankle) sidelined, Alexander-Walker will step into the starting five. The 27-year-old swingman logged 28 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Raptors, posting 10 points (2-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block.

Hawks' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Bench role Wednesday
Alexander-Walker will come off the bench during Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Alexander-Walker retreats to the second unit as the 2025-26 campaign gets underway. Dyson Daniels will get the start, as expected, alongside Trae Young, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson and Kristaps Porzingis.
