Impact Huerter exited Friday's matchup in the first quarter, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return. If he's held out for the remainder of the game, Lou Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic should see increased run.

Impact With Trae Young (quadriceps) sidelined, Wright will replace him in Atlanta's starting five. The 29-year-old is averaging 4.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 18.0 minutes per game this season, but he should see an increased role as long as Young remains out.

Impact Collins received a second medical opinion Thursday that confirmed the sprained finger and strained foot, which includes a torn plantar fascia.

MARCH 18, 2022 • SLAMONLINE.COM
John Collins - Out indefinitely with two injuries Collins (finger, foot) will be sidelined indefinitely due to a sprained right ring finger and torn plantar fascia in his right foot, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Collins had already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, but it appears he will now miss additional time as he tries to recover from injuries that have been causing him pain since mid-February. It's a tough break for the Hawks as they try to lock down a spot in a play-in game ahead of the NBA playoffs. Clint Capela, Danilo Gallinari (biceps) and Onyeka Okongwu will likely continue to shoulder Atlanta's frontcourt duties until Collins is able to return.
MARCH 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
John Collins - Ruled out again Friday Collins (finger) has been ruled out of Friday's game against Memphis, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Trae Young - Questionable Friday Young is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to a left quad bruise, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Young struggled through Wednesday's 10-point loss to the Hornets, going 3-for-12 from the field, though he still managed to hand out 15 assists. He apparently suffered an injury in the process and is at risk of missing his first game since Jan. 31. If that happens, more minutes could be in store for Delon Wright, Lou Williams and other guards.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Danilo Gallinari - Questionable for Friday Gallinari (biceps) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Sarah Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Impact Gallinari has been banged up of late with multiple injuries, the latest of which is a bruised biceps, which he sustained during Wednesday's game against the Hornets. He received treatment Thursday, and the Hawks are already considering him a game-time decision.

Top scorers meet in Atlanta-Memphis matchup
Trae Young and Ja Morant square off in a matchup of two of the league's top scorers when Atlanta and Memphis hit the courtMARCH 17, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Clint Capela - Double-double in loss Capela registered 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Hornets.
Impact Capela finished with the second-most points on the team behind only De'Andre Hunter (21 points) in his highest scoring output since Jan. 3. He also recorded his sixth double-double since returning from an ankle injury in late January, while seeing north of 30 minutes for the first time in over a week. Capela should remain productive on the glass as long as he can stay healthy going forward.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
De'Andre Hunter - Leads team with 21 points Hunter recorded 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Hunter paced the Hawks in scoring Wednesday, as Trae Young crashed back down to earth following his back-to-back 45-plus point outings. The 24-year-old has now posted double-digit scoring efforts in eight consecutive games, and his four three-pointers were his most since Nov. 3, 2021. Hunter won't be able to carry the Hawks to wins without Young's usual contributions, but his improved efficiency from the field is encouraging as his team vies for a playoff spot.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Huerter - Another double-digit scoring effort Huerter totaled 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Hornets.
Impact With Trae Young struggling to get anything going Wednesday, Huerter's 16 points were the third most on the team behind De'Andre Hunter (21 points) and Clint Capela (17 points). He's registered four three-pointers in four of the last five games and continues to shoot a high percentage from behind the arc. Huerter should continue to get open looks from deep going forward in his floor-spacing role in the offense.
MARCH 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trae Young - Ice-cold in loss Young finished with nine points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 assists, three rebounds and three steals over 38 minutes in Wednesday's 116-106 loss to Charlotte.
Impact Young followed up back-to-back 45-plus point efforts with what was easily his worst scoring output of the season. He exited the game briefly during the third quarter with what was said to be a left knee/quad contusion, but he returned shortly after and was able to finish the game. On a positive note, Young's 15 assists matched his season-high for the category, and he's now registered double-digit assists in five of his last six games. He'll look to get back on track scoring-wise Friday against the Grizzlies.
