Undergoes season-ending surgery
The Hawks announced that Toppin underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery Monday.
Analyse
The procedure was done to repair a torn labrum in Toppin's right shoulder that he sustained while playing for the G League's College Park Skyhawks in late November. The third-year forward signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hawks this past summer, so it remains to be seen if Atlanta will be interested in retaining Toppin during free agency in the 2026 offseason. While he saw very little action with the parent club this season, the 25-year-old forward averaged 18.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.0 minutes per contest across five G League outings.

Won't play Saturday
Toppin (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game versus the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analyse
Saturday will be the sixth straight game on the inactive list for Toppin, and the Hawks haven't released any updates about his recovery, so he should be viewed as week-to-week moving forward. The two-way player is not a consistent part of the Hawks' rotation, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire in all redraft leagues.

Ruled out Friday
Toppin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Analyse
Toppin will miss his fourth consecutive contest due to a right shoulder sprain. The forward has appeared in just five games for the Hawks this season, logging an average of 3.4 minutes played, so his absence will not significantly impact Atlanta's rotation.
