Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Injury Report: Trae Young Listed As Questionable
The Miami Heat (24-17) are facing off against the Atlanta Hawks (17-23) on Friday on the night of Udonis Haslem's jersey retirement.
Miami is back at home following a disappointing 24-point loss to RJ Barrett and the Toronto Raptors. Meanwhile, the Hawks claimed a thrilling one possession victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

Trae Young: Questionable- Illness
The return of Jaquez and Love would give a major boost to the Heat's poor offense in recent matchups. The forwards are averaging a combined 24.1 points this season.
The loss of Young would act as a devastating blow for the Hawks. He has missed two games this year, where Atlanta has a 1-1 record. Not to mention, Hunter is a key contributor on both ends of the floor.
