Free agent Johan Petro has reportedly signed with Zhejiang Guangsa Lions of the Chinese League. Petro has been in the league as a second or third center since 2005. Last year, he appeared in 31 games for the Hawks and averaged 3.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 11.3 minutes a night. Petro is just 27 years old and a true 7-footer, but NBA interest was apparently non-existent.

Johan Petro (wife having baby) is back with the Hawks and will start Monday's Game 4. Petro's wife had a baby this afternoon and he flew back to Atlanta shortly after. The Hawks will deploy their big lineup Monday night, starting Petro alongside Al Horford and Josh Smith in the frontcourt. Jeff Teague and Devin Harris will start in the backcourt.

Johan Petro (wife having baby) is en route to Atlanta but it's unknown if he'll arrive in time for Monday's Game 4. Tip-off tonight is scheduled for just after 7:30 p.m. ET. Petro is technically being called a game-time decision, but this situation is more up to timing than anything else. Even if Petro is available, it's unclear how much of a role he'll have beyond playing roughly 15 minutes.

Johan Petro (wife having baby) is questionable for Game 4 vs. the Pacers. Petro's wife is expecting their new baby on Sunday, and it's unclear if the center will be back in time for Game 4. Even if he's unavailable, it should have no impact on the Hawks or fantasy leagues despite Petro starting (and playing under 14 minutes) in Game 3.

Johan Petro (wife having baby) will not play Wednesday against the Sixers. Petro didn't travel with the team to Philadelphia and remains in Florida with his expectant wife. His absence shouldn't affect your fantasy league. Kyle Korver, on the other hand, rejoined the Hawks and will continue his 3-point barrage against the 76ers.

Johan Petro (wife having baby) remains away from the team. Petro's with his expectant wife in Florida, leaving his status for Wednesday against the Sixers up in the air. His availability shouldn't impact any fantasy leagues with Al Horford and Josh Smith healthy.
