Atlanta forward Jalen Johnson plans to have shoulder surgery and miss the remainder of the season, a major blow to the struggling Hawks’ efforts to remain in the Eastern Conference playoff race.

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson will undergo surgery to repair his injured left shoulder and will miss the rest of the season, the team said Wednesday. The Hawks said Johnson was diagnosed with a torn labrum.

Jalen Johnson's breakout season is over. The Atlanta Hawks forward will have season-ending shoulder surgery, the team confirmed Wednesday. Johnson, 23, suffered the shoulder injury during last Thursday's 122-119 loss against the Toronto Raptors.
