Hawks Injury

Onyeka Okongwu is listed as questionable for Saturday’s matchup against the Pelicans due to left ankle inflammation suffered during the game against the Spurs. With his status uncertain, the Hawks might rely more on Mouhamed Gueye to fill in the gap if Okongwu is unable to play. Kristaps Porziņģis’s presence provides some depth, but the team will need solid performances from its bench to compensate for Okongwu’s potential absence.
