The banged up Atlanta Hawks made their way to Boston on Friday night to do battle with the Celtics.
Trae Young was the biggest topic of discussion before this one got started, as the Hawks’ star point guard ended up on the injury report due to some ankle issues. He was confirmed out right before the tip-off, and Jeff Teague moved into the starting lineup to take his place.
The Hawks have basically operated as a team of 9-10 active players over the last month, as Cam Reddish, De’Andre Hunter, Bruno Fernando and players that were recently traded for have all been placed on the pine with injury.
