Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Stays in Atlanta
The Hawks exercised Mathews' $2.23 million team option for the 2024-25 season Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
In his first full season with Atlanta in 2023-24, Mathews averaged 4.9 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.3 three-pointers and 0.6 assists across 15.0 minutes in 66 regular-season games. While he doesn't project to see a major increase in playing time heading into Year 2 in Atlanta, Mathews' perimeter-shooting skills make him a valuable reserve. He connected on 44 percent of his attempts from downtown last season.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Leads bench in scoring
Mathews chipped in eight points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game loss to Chicago.
Since the All-Star break, the 27-year-old averaged 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 45.8 percent from the field, playing valuable minutes during Trae Young's (finger) absence. With the Hawks looking to test the trade market around Young and possibly Dejounte Murray after a disappointing year, the Hawks will have until June 29 to decide whether they want Mathews back next season, which would fully guarantee his contract.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Set to start against Charlotte
Mathews is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mathews will enter the starting lineup Wednesday with many of Atlanta's regulars out. The 27-year-old guard is averaging 2.8 points and 1.3 rebounds in 16.3 minutes across his last four starting appearances this season.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Hits four threes off bench Saturday
Mathews ended Saturday's 132-91 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes.
Mathews was one of two players -- with Bruno Fernando being the other -- who took full advantage of playing extra minutes off the bench. This resulted in Mathews scoring in double digits for the first time this season while also posting a season-best mark in three-pointers made. Mathews will continue to have a limited role off the bench going forward, so there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not a sign of things to come ahead of the final three weeks of the regular season.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Offers little in victory
Mathews produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over the Rockets.
Mathews managed just three points in nine minutes, continuing what has been a modest season, to say the least. Although he has featured in most games over the past month, he has barely been a top-300 player in nine-category leagues.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Returns to bench Monday
Mathews will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mathews returns to the second unit after picking up a spot start in Saddiq Bey's place during Saturday's win over Golden State. Bey will return from an ankle sprain Monday night. De'Andre Hunter (knee) remains on a minutes restriction.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Starting against Warriors
Mathews will start against the Warriors on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mathews hasn't been in the rotation lately, but he'll get a rare opportunity with Saddiq Bey (ankle) sidelined. Mathews is hitting 45.0 percent from beyond the arc this season and will provide some floor spacing Saturday.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Gets 15 minutes in return
Mathews (ankle) played 15 minutes in Saturday's 127-99 loss to the Wizards, finishing with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist.
Mathews was cleared to return from a sprained left ankle ahead of Friday's game against Indiana, but Atlanta didn't use him off the bench in its 126-108 loss. Instead, Mathews was saved for the second leg of the back-to-back set, and he ended up seeing the third-most minutes off the bench behind Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu. Mathews looks poised to remain in the rotation for the time being, though he could lose his spot once De'Andre Hunter (knee) returns to action.

Matthews (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Set for multi-game absence
Mathews will be re-evaluated in 1-to-2 weeks after spraining his left ankle in Sunday's loss to Orlando, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Mathews had carved out a rotational role over the past month, averaging 4.1 points in 16.2 minutes per game and hitting 50.0 percent of 2.6 threes per game while operating as a shooting specialist over Atlanta's past 13 games. He also profiles as a gritty but foul-prone wing defender, leaving his shoes to be filled by a combination of Saddiq Bey and Wesley Matthews.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Won't return Sunday
Mathews won't return to Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left ankle sprain. He recorded no statistics over two minutes of court time before exiting the game.
Mathews wasn't able to put weight on his ankle as he was helped off the court in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup, and he'll be unavailable for the rest of the game. Wesley Matthews has drawn some playing time ahead of halftime, while Mathews' next chance to return will be Wednesday against the 76ers.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Helped off court
Mathews exited Sunday's game against Orlando in the first quarter due to an apparent ankle injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Mathews went down hard in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup and wasn't able to put any weight on his ankle as he was helped off the court. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return, but Wesley Matthews could see some playing time if Mathews is ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Moves to second unit
Mathews will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Jalen Johnson (wrist) is returning to action Tuesday and will immediately jump into the starting lineup. The Hawks are going to be without De'Andre Hunter (knee) for a couple of weeks, so Mathews will likely have a decent role with the second unit for his floor spacing in the short term.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Joins first unit
Mathews will start Friday's game against the Heat, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Logs another DNP
Mathews has played in three games and is averaging 1.0 points and 0.7 rebounds in 3.3 minutes since the start of the season.
Wednesday's loss to the Knicks marked Mathews' eighth healthy scratch this season, and it appears that he will not see much action in the future. As he remains buried in the depth chart, only expect Mathews to warrant any playing time in the event of injury or blowout.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Pops for 14 points Saturday
Mathews ended Saturday's 143-130 win over the Pacers with 14 points (5-6 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one assist and one steal in 14 minutes.
Mathews scored 14 points in 14 minutes, just the sixth time all season that he has reached double digits. The four three-pointers matched his season high, providing anyone who streamed him in with a nice boost at the end of what has likely been a competitive week. While he has played at least 12 minutes in three consecutive games, his role remains too uncertain for him to be viewed as anything more than a speculative stream option.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Makes Atlanta debut
Mathews played four minutes and finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one rebound in Wednesday's 122-101 loss to the Knicks.
Before Atlanta acquired him from the Rockets on Thursday, Mathews had been nursing a sore big toe, but he had been available to play in both of the Hawks' first two games of the week. After not leaving the bench in a six-point loss to the Hornets on Monday, Mathews got the chance to make his Hawks debut in the final 3:43 of garbage time Wednesday. The 26-year-old is likely to remain outside of head coach Nate McMillan's rotation so long as the Hawks are at full strength on the wing.

Hawks' Garrison Mathews: Not listed on injury report
Mathews is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Hornets.
Mathews and Bruno Fernando were both acquired by Atlanta ahead of last Thursday's trade deadline but didn't make their debuts Saturday versus the Spurs. They were both initially left off the injury report before being deemed unavailable, so a similar situation could happen again Monday. However, for now, it appears Mathews will suit up for the first time with his new squad, but that doesn't mean he'll be part of head coach Nate McMillan's rotation.
