Jalen Johnson makes Hawks history with another triple-double

Johnson’s breakout performance vs. the Pacers

Jalen Johnson continued his breakout season with a huge stat line in Atlanta’s recent game against the Indiana Pacers. He finished with 33 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals — marking the tenth triple-double of his NBA career. That milestone makes him the first player in Hawks franchise history to reach double-digit career triple-doubles.

Johnson has shown a well-rounded game all year, pushing his season averages into near-All-Star territory and giving Atlanta a playmaker who can score, rebound and create for others on the same night.

Where the Hawks stand and what’s next

The Hawks are still battling through injuries and roster changes while trying to climb back into playoff position in the Eastern Conference. Despite the team loss to Indiana, Johnson’s surge has been one of the season’s bright spots and a genuine reason for optimism.

Atlanta heads to Florida next to take on the Miami Heat, hoping to build on Johnson’s momentum and improve their 24–27 record. If he keeps playing at this level, he’ll remain a central figure in the Hawks’ push down the stretch.
