Atlanta recalled Newell from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Newell hasn't appeared in any of the Hawks' last four games while seeing most of his playing time in the G League of late, but he could re-enter the rotation Thursday against the Rockets while Atlanta is without Onyeka Okongwu (dental fracture) and Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles). The Hawks will likely prioritize Mouhamed Gueye and Christian Koloko in the frontcourt ahead of Newell, though all three players could end up seeing major minutes Thursday if Jalen Johnson (calf) -- who is listed as questionable -- joins Okongwu and Porzingis on the sideline.

The Hawks assigned Newell to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Newell has been a healthy DNP in each of the Hawks' last two games, so he'll head to the G League to get more reps. He has appeared in five games for College Park this season and has averaged 20.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks over 29.3 minutes per game.

Atlanta recalled Newell from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Newell will make his way back to Atlanta after he turned in a 29-point, 12-rebound, seven-assist performance for College Park in a 121-115 loss to the Maine Celtics on Wednesday. Prior to heading to the G League, Newell had appeared in both of the Hawks' prior two games, playing 21 total minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) and Zaccharie Risascher (knee) set to remain out for Friday's game against the Suns, Newell could hold down a small role in the rotation.

Atlanta recalled Newell from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Newell will be back with the parent club ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks but could find himself outside of the rotation. At the same time, Mouhamed Gueye has emerged as head coach Quin Snyder's preferred backup big man in the continued absence of Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles). The rookie first-round pick was able to get in some extended run in the G League on Sunday, finishing with 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes in the Skyhawks' 112-103 loss to the Maine Celtics.

Newell (quadriceps) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old big man has logged single-digit minutes in three of his last four games, so he's unlikely to see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration.

Newell (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Newell sustained a right quadriceps contusion in the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Warriors and was unable to return. Now, he's in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's contest. If the rookie first-rounder is ultimately ruled out, Mouhamed Gueye could see a slight bump in minutes.

Newell (quadriceps) did not return to the Hawks' 124-111 win over the Warriors on Sunday. He finished with one rebound and one block over four minutes while missing his lone three-point attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Newell came out of the game during the second quarter and was not cleared by medical staff to return. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of his injury, but it puts the rookie first-rounder in jeopardy of missing Tuesday's road game against the Lakers. Mouhamed Gueye and Corey Kispert would both likely see a slight uptick in minutes if Newell misses time.

Newell is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Warriors due to a right quadriceps contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Newell checked out at the 4:16 mark of the second quarter, logging one rebound and one block over four minutes prior to his exit. Mouhamed Gueye and Corey Kispert could both see a slight uptick in minutes off the bench for as long as Newell is out of the game.

Newell finished Friday's 110-87 victory over the Nuggets with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Newell remained in the rotation, largely due to the fact that Atlanta was without a number of key pieces. While he has flashed some interesting upside this season, Newell's role is typically that of a depth piece. In 29 regular-season appearances, he has averaged 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per contest.
