Sadly, injuries have been one of the most important aspects of Atlanta’s season through the first 41 games. Even rotation stalwarts like Marco Belinelli have been hit by the injury bug, as he sat out the last game against the Nets with a sprained left ankle – his first missed game of the season.
DeAndre’ Bembry, who has bounced between the big club and the Erie BayHawks (the Hawks’ G-League affiliate) in his second season, has also missed the past 4 games with a groin injury and missed tons of time earlier in the season with a broken wrist.
