Hawks Release Injury Report for Tomorrow's Game vs the Wizards

In this story:
The Hawks are in the midst of a four-game losing streak and they are heading to Washington to face the Wizards tomorrow. Atlanta already has two wins over their division rival this year and they could really use a win tomorrow.
Ahead of the game tomorrow, Atlanta has released their injury report and Onyeka Okongwu (illness) is doubtful while Mouhamed Gueye (right low back stress fracture), Seth Lundy (Left Ankle Sprain), and De'Andre Hunter (right knee inflammation) remain out for the Hawks.

If Okongwu can't play, Quin Snyder will have to figure out who he wants to use at the backup center position. Bruno Fernando could get minutes or he could put someone like Jalen Johnson as a smaller five.
The Hawks have a number of issues, but during this four-game losing streak, it has been their offense in the second half that has been the biggest. Last night, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder was asked what the Hawks need to do to fix them:
"I thought we had some really good looks in the fourth quarter and in the third quarter, I mentioned that when they made the run on us, it was open looks and missed shots mixed with turnovers. Late, again, you don't know where the shots are going to come and at what time, but open threes are good, getting to the rim is good, and playing off of each other, but whatever it is that we are doing, getting us organized, but then having a mentality is the biggest thing for us and that is our execution.
It is not one thing, it's collective. It is not one thing or one guy, it is not one thing, we just have to grind through it."
Hawks center Clint Capela was asked what the team can do to get out of the rut it has been in and start winning games and he gave a pretty honest answer:
"I mean, it just gets harder and harder to take because it sucks to lose like that. I mean especially tonight because I really do feel like we were better and I almost felt that we just... we almost helped them feel more confident and yeah we just have to talk to each other, scream at each other, I don't know, but we gotta do something."
