HAWKS at CAVALIERS | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | December 16, 2023

5 months ago

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Out against ClevelandBogdanovic (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactThe Hawks are going to be very shorthanded with Bogdanovic joining Clint Capela (knee) on the sidelines. The good news, however, is that De'Andre Hunter (knee) is returning from a three-game absence. Garrison Mathews is likely to pick up some minutes in Bogdanovic's absence, and he's a capable three-point shooter.

De'Andre Hunter - Available to face CavaliersHunter (knee) is available to face the Cavaliers on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactThe availability of Hunter should provide quite a boost for the Hawks, and he should return to his regular role at small forward. Hunter will return after a three-game absence. He's been on a roll of late, scoring in double digits in eight consecutive games and averaging 18.6 points per game in that span.

Clint Capela - Out against CavaliersCapela (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactThis will be the first missed game of the season for Capela. Atlanta's starting center played 35 minutes Friday, so that may have factored into the decision. With Capela out, we're likely to see Onyeka Okongwu slide to center which will open things up for Saddiq Bey in the frontcourt. Bruno Fernando could also see some rotation minutes for Atlanta.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Availability in doubt SaturdayBogdanovic is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sprained right ankle, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

ImpactBogdanovic is a late addition to the Hawks injury report, popping up with a sprained right ankle. If Bogdanovic ends up missing Saturday's tilt, expect Garrison Matthews and Patty Mills to see more action.

Thaddeus Young - Gets garbage-time runYoung played the final 2:43 of Friday's 125-104 loss to Atlanta, recording no statistics during his time on the court.

ImpactYoung missed a handful of games in late November due to an illness, but he was cleared to play more than three weeks ago and has now suited up in each of the Raptors' last nine games. However, Friday's contest marked the first occasion during that nine-game stretch in which Young actually got off the bench, with the veteran forward getting some run in garbage time. Young doesn't look as though he'll be a rotation option for Toronto anytime soon.

Mouhamed Gueye - Out again SaturdayGueye (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactGueye hasn't suited up since late October due to a stress fracture in his lower back and will remain sidelined for Saturday's tilt. Though it's unclear how close he is to returning, his next chance to do so will come Monday against Detroit.
