Henri Veesaar (ATL): Out

The Atlanta Hawks sit at 46–36, sixth in the Eastern Conference and ranked 13th in overall power. They entered the final stretch of the regular season with a 6–4 record over their last ten games and a net rating of +2.4, but the loss of center Henri Veesaar (jersey #13) removes a key piece of their front‑court depth.

Veesaar’s right‑knee ACL tear means he will be unavailable for the entire 2026‑27 campaign. The Hawks will need to rely more heavily on their remaining big men and may look to adjust rotations or explore short‑term options to maintain interior defense and rebounding. Watching how the coaching staff allocates minutes among the remaining centers and whether any roster moves are pursued will be crucial in the weeks ahead.
