Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks Injury Report: Trae Young Listed As Questionable

The Miami Heat could see the return of Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kevin Love, while Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young is questionable
In this story:

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.

Here's the injury report:

HEAT

Jamal Cain: Out - G League - Two-Way 

R.J. Hampton: Out - G League - Two-Way 

Jaime Jaquez Jr.: Doubtful - Left Groin Strain 

Dru Smith: Out - Right Knee Surgery

HAWKS

Kobe Bufkin: Out - G League - On Assignment 

Mouhamed Gueye: Out - Right Low Back Stress Fracture 

De'Andre Hunter: Out - Right Knee Inflammation 

Vit Krejci: Out - Left Shoulder Subluxation 

Wesley Matthews: Out - Right Calf Strain 

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.
