Hawks vs Wizards: Who is on the Initial Injury Report for Atlanta for Tomorrow's Game vs The Wizards?

Atlanta won their matchup with the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday and went into Thanksgiving on a winning streak. Atlanta needed that win after being on a three-game losing streak and now they will look to build off of that win.

Ahead of the next game vs the Wizards tomorrow night, Atlanta released its initial injury report and there are no surprises on it. Rookies Kobe Bufkin and Mouhamed Gueye remain on it and no one else. Reminder, the Hawks could have a surprise addition, but with two days of rest since their last game, I find that unlikely.

Bufkin and Gueye remain out for Saturday’s game against the Wizards.

Rest of the injury report is clean for the Hawks.

Atlanta now travels to Washington and aims to get their second win over their division rival and get back above .500. The Hawks have had an insane offensive output and now get to take on arguably the worst defense in the NBA. All eyes are going to be on what adjustments the Hawks make on defense after two terrible performances vs Brooklyn and Indiana. Washington is not a good team, but they have capable scorers in Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma and they could both test the Hawks's defense.

When talking about the team's defense after the loss against the Pacers, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder acknowledged that it needs to be much better, but made sure to point out that Trae Young has made an impact on defense this year.

"I am glad you asked me that, I have been saying it all year and its whatever... there is a narrative that develops about someone. He has been good off the ball, he has been good on the ball, he has competed, I can show you a long edit of the times that he has picked up full court and someone should talk about it. It's not... when you talk about Trae tonight, you will talk about what a great offensive game that he had and he did but it is one of the things that I have told him, even early in the year when his shots were not going in, he did not stop defending and that is good to see, from all of our guys. That is the mentality that we have to have and there are some things tonight that obviously defensively that we can do better and we played against a really good offensive team."

We will see how the Hawks hold up tomorrow night. Tip-off is set for 7:30 in Washington D.C.

Upcoming Road Trip Will Provide a Huge Test For Atlanta
