Trae Young on the Injury Report For Tomorrow's Matchup With Miami

Can Atlanta win their third straight game on Friday night?

The Hawks are going for their third win a row tomorrow night when they go on the road to face the Miami Heat. 

Ahead of their matchup tomorrow with Miami, the Hawks released their injury report and a new name popped up on it today. Star point guard Trae Young was added to the injury report today and is listed as questionable with an illness. The rest of the injury report is business as usual. Mouhamed Gueye (right low back stress fracture), De’Andre Hunter (right knee inflammation), Vit Krejci (left shoulder subluxation), and Wesley Matthews (right calf strain) are all out for Atlanta.

The Hawks gave an update on Mouhamed Gueye earlier today: 

"Forward Mouhamed Gueye (right low back stress fracture), who has been participating in light on-court work including spot shooting, has increased the intensity of his individual workouts to include full court activity. He will be re-evaluated in two-to-three weeks and his status will be updated as appropriate."

The Heat are a team that gives the Hawks trouble. 

Dating back two years ago to a first-round playoff series, Atlanta has not had good success when they play Erik Spoelstra's team. Miami humbled the Hawks in five games in that playoff series and made Trae Young look human.

Last season, Atlanta did notch a win over Miami in the play-in tournament, but that is the only real-time of triumph for the Hawks over Miami. This season, the Hawks are 0-2 vs Miami, losing at home in November and then in Miami last month. 

Atlanta is looking for its third straight win and to build some momentum after a rough stretch of games. Trade rumors have been swirling around this team and they are likely not going away.
