Justin Holiday - Gets 24 minutes WednesdayHoliday (COVID-19 protocols) finished with five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block across 24 minutes in Wednesday's 113-89 loss to the Knicks.

ImpactHoliday cleared health and safety protocols and was available to play in Monday's 121-114 loss to the Thunder, but it wasn't until Wednesday that he cracked head coach Nate McMillan's rotation. The veteran wing hasn't been a regular fixture in the rotation this season, but that may change in the short term while the Hawks are down three starters in De'Andre Hunter (hip), John Collins (ankle) and Dejounte Murray (ankle).

Derrick Rose - Moves outside of rotationRose (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Wednesday's 113-89 win over the Hawks.

ImpactRose went unused off the bench for the second game in a row, which allowed Miles McBride and Immanuel Quickley to fill the top backup spots behind backcourt starters Jalen Brunson and Quentin Grimes. In the Knicks' previous game Sunday against the Cavaliers, Rose was active for the contest but was available only in an emergency while getting some rest for a sore toe. Rose was off the injury report entirely ahead of Wednesday's game, so his absence from the rotation looks as though it was a coach's decision rather than the result of the toe issue. McBride made a strong impression during his time on the court with six assists in 27 minutes, so he looks like he'll remain ahead of Rose on the depth chart for the time being.

De'Andre Hunter - Nabs questionable tag FridayHunter (hip) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Nets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactHunter could return for Friday's game after missing the last three games with a right hip flexor strain. Hunter will likely replace AJ Griffin in the starting lineup when he retakes the court. The 24-year-old forward was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, so he is likely to return soon, if not Friday.

Trae Young - Not on injury reportYoung (illness) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

ImpactYoung missed Thursday's practice session due to an illness, but it doesn't appear as though the issue will impact his availability for Friday's matchup. Over his last two appearances, he's averaged 21.0 points, 8.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game.
