  • Hawks' Wesley Matthews: Logs 10 minutes in elimination game

    Matthews (hamstring) tallied zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in 10 minutes Wednesday in the Hawks' 131-116 loss to the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.

    Matthews missed the Hawks' final three games of the regular season with hamstring tightness, but he was able to make it back for what ended up being the team's lone postseason contest. The 37-year-old was an irregular member of the Atlanta rotation in 2023-24, appearing in 36 regular-season contests (three starts) while averaging 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds, 0.7 three-pointers and 0.6 assists in 11.5 minutes while shooting 35.1 percent from the field. Matthews is scheduled for free agency this summer and could be headed for retirement.

    Matthews (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Timberwolves, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

  • Hawks' Wesley Matthews: Iffy due to hamstring

    Matthews is questionable for Wednesday against Charlotte with right hamstring soreness, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

    Matthews' injury appears to be a mild concern, but the Hawks could exercise caution with him for the second leg of a back-to-back set. He played five minutes in Tuesday's 117-111 loss to the Heat in double overtime, finishing with two points (2-2 FT), one assist and one steal.

  • Hawks' Wesley Matthews: Plays just four minutes vs. Dallas

    Matthews produced zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over four minutes during Thursday's 109-95 loss to the Mavericks.

    Matthews saw extended playing time in March due to Jalen Johnson's absence, but those minutes have disappeared ever since the latter returned. Matthews has now played less than 10 minutes in each of his last two games and figures to remain as a fringe bench player heading into the postseason.

  • Hawks' Wesley Matthews: Makes first appearance since Feb. 5

    Matthews logged five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two blocks across 14 minutes Thursday in the Hawks' 124-97 loss to the Raptors.

    Matthews had missed the Hawks' final four games before the All-Star break due to an illness, but he was cleared to resume playing when Atlanta kicked off its second-half schedule last week. However, Matthews hadn't been included in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation for the first three games out of the All-Star break before he got some run Thursday. It's unclear if Snyder plans on keeping Matthews in the rotation moving forward, but even if he does, the 37-year-old likely won't see his playing time dramatically increase from the 14 minutes he received versus Toronto.
