Hawks vs 76ers: Who is on Atlanta's Initial Injury Report?

Atlanta faces Philadelphia tomorrow in their second in-season tournament game

The Hawks lost to the New York Knicks last night and will look to get back in the win column tomorrow night against the Philadelphia 76ers. It is going to be the second in-season tournament game for the Hawks. Even though they have lost two straight games, the 76ers have been one of the best teams in the NBA since the James Harden trade. Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey both look like MVP candidates and the pieces that they got back in the Harden deal are fitting in nicely. 

Ahead of the game tomorrow, Atlanta released its injury report and there is nothing new there. After coming back for yesterday's game, Trae Young is not on the injury report for tomorrow's game against Philadelphia. The only two players on there are rookies Kobe Bufkin and Mouhamed Gueye.

Both players have been on the injury report and this past Sunday, Atlanta had a more detailed report on the two players:

"Guard Kobe Bufkin underwent an X-ray and medical review yesterday on his left thumb, which he fractured on Nov. 2. He will continue to be reviewed weekly and his rehabilitation will progress based on his healing. His return to play timeline is 8-to-10 weeks from the date of injury.

Forward Mouhamed Gueye, who has missed the last two games with a right lower back strain, underwent an MRI yesterday at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex. The MRI revealed a right low back stress fracture. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks and his status will be updated as appropriate."

The Hawks played a solid game last night against the Knicks, but the offensive rebounding really hurt Atlanta in the game. Trae Young played a decent game and finished with 17 assists. This is going to be a tough game for the Hawks, but a win would give them a 2-0 record in the in-season tournament.
