Atlanta and Golden State Release Updated Injury Reports Ahead Of Tonight's Matchup

The Atlanta Hawks 11 game winning streak was halted last night in a blow out loss against the Houston Rockets, but the Hawks are hoping for a quick bounce back tonight when the host the Golden State Warriors, who have been in a free fall since the injuries to Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler.

With both teams playing on the second night of a back to back, the injuriy reports for either team have not been revealed until now.

For the Hawks, their injury report is completely clean. Jonathan Kuminga missed last night's loss vs Houston, but he is available for tonight's game against his former team.

For the Warriors, Draymond Green (injury management), De'Anthony Melton (injury management), Gary Payton II (knee), Malevy Leons (wrist), and Quinten Post (injury management) are all questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis, Stephen Curry, Al Horford, Moses Moody, Seth Curry, and Jimmy Butler are all. Golden State could be very short-handed in this game.

Matchup Preview

This is going to be the first game that Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga has played against his former team since being traded from Golden State at the February trade deadline for Kristaps Porzingis. Kuminga has been an impactful addition to the Hawks. Porzingis has been solid for the Warriors over the past couple of games after missing time due to an illness.

What kind of game will Kuminga have in store tonight for his former team?

The Hawks are going to need more than just a big game from Kuminga if they want to get back on the right track.
