Asa Newell, who exited Sunday’s game against the Warriors due to a right quad contusion, has been cleared to play in Tuesday’s matchup against the Lakers. While Newell’s return bolsters team depth, his current role does not significantly impact fantasy outlooks, making him an unlikely candidate for most redraft league lineups.

Asa Newell remains questionable for Tuesday’s matchup against the Lakers due to a quad issue. Having played only four minutes in Sunday’s game against the Warriors before exiting, Newell’s absence is unlikely to impact fantasy lineups significantly. Mouhamed Gueye stands to see additional playing time with Kristaps Porziņģis also sidelined.

Asa Newell exited Sunday’s game against the Warriors with a right quad contusion after playing just four minutes. Although initially labeled as questionable to return, Newell did not re-enter the game as the Hawks secured a comfortable victory. His potential absence is not expected to have a significant impact on redraft leagues, given his limited role thus far in the season.

Asa Newell stepped up for the Hawks, contributing 17 points, five rebounds, four steals, and a block in their recent game against the Lakers. With the team missing multiple key players, Newell capitalized on the opportunity, showcasing his potential with an efficient performance off the bench. Despite the strong outing, Newell’s fantasy value remains limited to dynasty leagues due to inconsistent playing time.

Asa Newell made an impressive impact off the bench for the Hawks, contributing 11 points, 10 rebounds, an assist, and three three-pointers in their Saturday matchup against the Thunder. This marked Newell’s first career double-double, showcasing his potential in the absence of key frontcourt players. With the Hawks’ regular starters set to return, it remains to be seen if Newell will sustain such production, but his performance promises a bright future.

Asa Newell showcased his potential in Monday’s exhibition against the Heat, scoring 19 points and contributing across the board with eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks. Although his 0-of-6 performance from three-point range highlighted an area for improvement, his overall activity on the court was promising. While Atlanta’s current frontcourt depth may limit his immediate playing time, Newell could see increased opportunities if injury issues among starters arise.

The Atlanta Hawks have announced a revamped starting lineup for their third preseason game against the Miami Heat, featuring rookie Asa Newell in the starting role for the first time. Newell, selected 23rd overall in the 2025 draft, will join Jacob Toppin, N’Faly Dante, Vit Krejci, and Keaton Wallace. With limited production so far this preseason, Newell aims to capitalize on increased opportunities, while Krejci and Wallace bring experience from their impactful minutes in the previous season.
