To miss at least two weeks
Landale (ankle) is expected to miss at least two weeks, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Analysis
Landale sustained a right high-ankle sprain during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's win versus Orlando. Given the timetable for a return, the 29-year-old big man is likely to remain sidelined until the postseason. Onyeka Okongwu should take on all the minutes he can handle during the stretch run, while Mouhamed Gueye is set to operate as the primary backup center until Landale is cleared to play.

Exits early Wednesday
Landale won't return to Wednesday's game against the Magic due to a right ankle sprain, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. He'll finish with eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes.
Analysis
Goga Bitadze pulled Landale down on a shot attempt near the rim, and the big man landed awkwardly on his right leg before walking to the locker room under his own power. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Friday's game against the Nets.

Cleared to play Wednesday
Landale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus Orlando.
Analysis
Landale didn't play in Monday's 112-102 win over Boston. He was questionable heading into Wednesday's contest, though he has now been cleared to suit up. With Landale back in the lineup, Mouhamed Gueye likely won't see much action.

Iffy for Wednesday
Landale (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Landale is in danger of missing his second consecutive matchup due to illness. The team should have a clearer idea of his availability closer to tipoff.

Won't go Monday
Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Celtics, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analysis
Landale was added to the injury report due to an illness, and he's not feeling healthy enough to give it a go. This should open up some playing time for Mouhamed Gueye or Christian Koloko in the frontcourt.

Questionable with illness
Landale (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Landale's status could be determined closer to Monday's pregame warmups. Mouhamed Gueye would likely move into the No. 2 center spot if Landale cannot suit up versus the Celtics.

Excels in spot start
Landale posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Atlanta's 123-113 win over Sacramento on Saturday.
Analysis
With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, Landale was moved into Atlanta's starting lineup for the first time since his team debut Feb. 5. Landale took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Hawks in both rebounds and blocks while finishing as the team's fourth-leading scorer. The fifth-year pro has proven that he can put together productive stat lines when operating in an expanded role, though his ceiling would take a substantial hit if Okongwu is cleared to play against the Celtics on Monday.

Starting Saturday
Landale is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Landale will draw his first start since Feb. 5, when he made his Hawks debut. In that outing, Landale delivered 26 points, 11 rebounds, five assists and four blocks across 32 minutes. With Dyson Daniels (toe), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Onyeka Okongwu (finger) out, Landale should receive as many minutes as he can handle.

Cleared to face Kings
Landale (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against Sacramento, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Analysis
Landale is set to return from a one-game absence due to a right shoulder impingement. With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) sidelined, Landale should have a featured role in the frontcourt.
March 28, 2026
Could return Saturday
Landale (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Analysis
Landale was a late scratch for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a right shoulder impingement. There's a chance he will return Saturday, and he would be in line for a significant role due to the absence of Onyeka Okongwu (finger). If Landale is also unable to play, then Mouhamed Gueye figures to be the top candidate to start at center for Atlanta.
