Finney-Smith is not on the injury report right now. He went through a day-to-day stretch earlier this month, logged as Day-To-Day Rest on Oct. 10, Day-To-Day again on Oct. 12, then cleared that same day. Since then his minutes have stayed low: 17.1 against Oklahoma City, 7.7 against San Antonio, 8.2 against Memphis, and 0.0 in Atlanta's win over Dallas on Oct. 16, when he did not record a stat. At 33 years old and in his 10th season, he is being used carefully early on.

Per Shams Charania, the Hawks acquired him from the Hornets in a trade that sent Bogdan Bojan Hield and Ryan Nembhard to Charlotte, a deal reported Sept. 22.
