This matchup marks the Hawks’ first home game in nine days, but the excitement of returning to their arena is overshadowed by a growing injury crisis.
Key Players on Injury Report
As the Hawks gear up to face a formidable opponent in the 76ers, they must do so with a depleted roster. The recently published injury report reveals a concerning list of absentees.

Additionally, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is listed as questionable with a right lateral ankle sprain, leaving the Hawks’ backcourt further weakened.
As they look to regroup against the 76ers, the Hawks face significant challenges. The absence of key players like Young not only affects their offensive strategy but also complicates their defensive matchups against a talented Philadelphia lineup.
With the stakes high and injury concerns looming, the Hawks will need to dig deep if they hope to turn the tide and secure a much-needed victory at home.
