Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 4 of the playoff series versus Miami. No surprise here, as the 35-year-old hasn't played a game yet this postseason.

The 25-year-old hasn't received a full dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, so he's not permitted to enter Canada.

The veteran sustained a sprained left MCL during the Game 2 postseason loss to Chicago and is anticipated to miss at least Games 3 and 4.

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) has been deemed questionable ahead of Game 3 of the playoff series versus Philly. Trent doesn't have COVID-19, although his condition relegated him to just 10 minutes of action in Game 2. If he can play, managers should acknowledge that he likely won't be fully healthy. Scottie Barnes […]

Lou Williams Out Again On Tuesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (back) is out for Game 2 of the playoff meeting with the Miami Heat.
