Atlanta Hawks small forward AJ Griffin finds himself among the starting five for Friday's contest against the Lakers, marking his second consecutive start in place of De'Andre Hunter (ankle).

De'Andre Hunter Will Miss Friday’s Outing

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game vs. the Lakers due to a sprained left ankle, marking his third consecutive absence due to the ailment.

Trae Young Will Be Available On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) wasn't able to suit up a couple of days ago against the Brooklyn Nets, but his absence will stop there as he was listed as available for the team's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.

De'Andre Hunter Uncertain For Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Clint Capela To Sit Out Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the third game in a row that Capela has missed due to a right calf sprain.

Dejounte Murray Nearly Has Triple-Double In Losing Effort

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray may not have shot the lights out, but he did a little bit of everything to try to will the team to a win against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

Bogdan Bogdanovic And Jalen Johnson Available Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) and forward/center Jalen Johnson (foot) are both available to play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Trae Young To Sit Out Wednesday Against Brooklyn

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Young played 34 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, but appears to have picked up a calf injury.

Clint Capela Will Sit Against Nets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will not play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Capela will miss both legs of a back-to-back set with the calf strain and has been a staple on the injury report all year.
