With over 15% of the season underway, the Hawks have stayed in a familiar spot

The Atlanta Hawks have started their 2025-26 campaign with a rollercoaster of emotions. Through the first 13 games, the Hawks have climbed to an 8-5 record, but they started just 1-3 and have had some concerning weaknesses.

Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher have already missed time, and more notably, Trae Young's MCL sprain will sideline him for another month. Atlanta entered this season with a renewed sense of optimism, but with over 15% of the season already behind them, injuries and inconsistent performances have tempered that hope.
