Trae Young Added To Injury Report for Tomorrow's Game vs Raptors

There has been a late addition to the injury report for the Atlanta Hawks ahead of their matchup with the Toronto Raptors tomorrow.

Trae Young (Right Shoulder Soreness) is being listed as probable for tomorrow's game. Young played against the Nuggets last night but was ejected in the third quarter. He missed the previous road game vs Philadelphia due to an illness.

An updated @emoryhealthcare injury report for tomorrow’s game at Toronto:

Trae Young (right shoulder soreness): Probable
De’Andre Hunter (right knee soreness): Questionable

Kobe Bufkin (left thumb fracture): Out
Mouhamed Gueye (right low back stress fracture): Out

With Young being listed as probable, I would lean towards him playing, but the fact that he was added does mean that there could be some doubt. Keep a close eye out for an updated injury report tomorrow to clarify Young's status.

Young is not the only one on the injury report for Atlanta.

Atlanta was missing two starters last night vs the Nuggets and they might be down both guys again tomorrow vs the Raptors. Atlanta released its initial injury report for tomorrow's game and De'Andre Hunter remains on it and is listed as questionable with right knee soreness. Rookies Kobe Bufkin and Mouhamed Gueye remain out, as does Jalen Johnson.

Last night, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder opted to start Garrison Matthews in place of Hunter and that did not go well. Matthews did not play well and Bogdan Bogdanovic played a hefty amount of minutes last night and put up arguably the best performance of his career. Bogdanovic had 40 points and 10 three-pointers in the loss vs the Nuggets.

Will Snyder go back to Garrison Matthews tomorrow?

There are two other intriguing options. Onyeka Okongwu could start at the four and move Bey over to the three. Another option could be having Bogdan Bogdanovic start in place of Hunter but I assume Snyder wants to be able to bring Bogdanovic off the bench.

If Hunter is out, would that open up minutes for AJ Griffin? Snyder seems reluctant to play him, but we'll see. Griffin did get two stints last night vs the Nuggets and he did not play well, especially on defense.

Stay tuned for the injury report going into tomorrow's game.
