The Atlanta Hawks have had a rough season. They are currently in 10th place in the Eastern Conference and have a long way to go to make the playoffs. This is especially true for Trae Young, who is out because he had surgery on his hand and doesn’t know when he can return; he will be examined soon after the surgery.
Someone who gives people a lot of hope is Jalen Johnson, who has been amazing in his third year in the NBA. Johnson, a 22-year-old forward, is one of the most bright young players in the league. He looks like he will be an important part of whatever the Hawks do in the future. On Monday night, the former Duke star did one of the best dunks of the season, beating Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves, who made a terrible choice by trying to draw a charge.
Reaves made a foul because his feet weren’t on the ground, and Johnson ran right over him. He almost got rid of Reaves, but we have to guess that he’s happy with how this one turned out because this is a great way to start the game.
