Injury Report: Hawks Face Timberwolves with Key Players Questionable

 

The Atlanta Hawks are set to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Minnesota, but injuries and absences may heavily impact their rotation. Here’s a look at the Hawks’ injury report heading into the matchup:

Questionable

• De’Andre Hunter (Illness): Hunter has been listed as questionable due to illness. His presence on both ends of the floor would be a key factor if he’s able to play.

• Larry Nance Jr. (Right Hand Surgery; Injury Management): Nance continues to work his way back following right hand surgery. His status remains up in the air.

• Zaccharie Risacher (Left Adductor Strain): The rookie forward is dealing with a left adductor strain and is also questionable for tonight’s game.

• Trae Young (Right Hamstring Tightness): The team’s star guard is listed as questionable with hamstring tightness. If Young cannot go, it would be a major blow to the Hawks’ offensive firepower.

Out

• Kobe Bufkin (Right Shoulder Surgery): Bufkin remains sidelined following right shoulder surgery, with no clear timetable for his return.

• Jalen Johnson (Left Shoulder Injury): Johnson’s absence continues to be felt, as the versatile forward has been a key contributor before his injury.

• Cody Zeller (Not with Team): Zeller will not be available for tonight’s matchup, further limiting Atlanta’s frontcourt depth.

With multiple players’ statuses in question, the Hawks may have to rely on their depth and adjust their rotations against a tough Timberwolves squad. Keep an eye on game-time updates to see which players will be cleared to suit up.
