It’s been a strange start to the 2024-25 season for the Atlanta Hawks.
Sitting at 2-3 after back-to-back losses to the Washington Wizards*, it’s fair to be a little disappointed in their win percentage at this (very) early stage of the season.
*A rebuilding club that finished with one more win than the Detroit Pistons last season and just trotted out the youngest starting five in their franchise’s history against the Hawks on Wednesday night.
Somehow, despite 13 out of their 15 players (and eight out of their projected top-9) suiting up for opening night on October 23rd, you already have to click the “show more” button on Twitter to read the Hawks’ entire injury report, with key rotation players in Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kobe Bufkin, Vit Krejci, De’Andre Hunter and Dyson Daniels all missing Wednesday night’s game against the Wizards.
