Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Out at least four weeks
Okongwu underwent a non-surgical procedure Tuesday to address ongoing inflammation in his left big toe and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Okongwu hasn't played since March 21 due to the left big toe injury. Unless the Hawks can come out of the Play-In and go on a miraculous playoff run, the 22-year-old big man has essentially been shut down for the rest of the season. Okongwu will end the regular season with averages of 10.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 25.5 minutes across 55 appearances, including eight starts.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Out at least one more week
The Hawks announced Monday that Okongwu (toe) will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days.
Okongwu has been cleared to resume basketball activities, but based on his re-evaluation timeline, he's set to miss at least four games, and perhaps even the rest of the regular season. While Okongwu has been sidelined since March 21 with the left toe sprain, Bruno Fernando has re-entered head coach Quin Snyder's rotation as the top backup to starting center Clint Capela.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Won't play Saturday
Okongwu (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu will miss a fifth straight game due to a left toe sprain. He's made only two appearances since Feb. 12, so even if he gets the green light soon, the backup big will likely face heavy restrictions.

Okongwu (toe) is out for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Ruled out for Monday
Okongwu (toe) won't play Monday against Boston, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu will miss his second consecutive game due to a left toe sprain after he had recently returned from a 13-game absence on account of the same injury. Though Atlanta hasn't indicated that Okongwu aggravated the issue, it's noteworthy that his consecutive absences have both come in standalone games rather than as part of back-to-back sets. With Okongwu sidelined Monday, Bruno Fernando should see an enhanced role in the rotation as the backup center behind starter Clint Capela.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Officially out Saturday
Okongwu (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup with the Hornets.
No surprise here, as Okongwu went into the game with a doubtful designation. He had played in two straight games since returning from a 13-game absence, so it looks like the Hawks are erring on the side of caution with their big man. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday versus the Celtics.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Unlikely to play Saturday
Okongwu (toe) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Okongwu has appeared in back-to-back contests following a 13-game absence, but he'll likely take a seat Saturday to manage his left big toe injury. If that's the case, Bruno Fernando should see increased minutes again.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Logs 19 minutes in return
Okongwu (toe) recorded 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.
Okongwu had missed 13 straight contests due to a left big toe sprain before suiting up against the Lakers on Monday. The fourth-year player had started in each of his previous five appearances before spraining his toe, but with Clint Capela beating him back from injury following the All-Star break, Okongwu unsurprisingly settled into a backup role in his return. Okongwu still put up decent production during his limited time on the court, including a 5-for-5 showing from two-point range. Once he becomes further removed from the injury, Okongwu could move into more of a timeshare with Capela. Even in a 25-minute role, Okongwu would still have some appeal as a lower-end option in 12-team category leagues.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Chance to play Monday
Okongwu (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
Okongwu has been sidelined since Feb. 12 but is nearing a return. However, even if he gets the green light Monday, Okongwu would likely be limited to a backup role behind Clint Capela.

Hawks' Onyeka Okongwu: Out at least another week
The Hawks announced Thursday that Okongwu (toe) no longer requires a walking boot and will be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
While ditching the boot represents a step forward in Okongwu's recovery from a left big toe sprain/inflammation, the fact that he's merely scheduled to be re-evaluated at least a week down the road suggests that his absence is likely to stretch into late March, if not April. With Okongwu out, Bruno Fernando should continue to have a regular spot in the rotation as the top backup to starting center Clint Capela.
