How to read the Hawks injury report

Out means the player will not play in the next game. Doubtful is roughly a 25% chance to play, Questionable about 50%, Probable 75%; Day-to-day is a short-term issue re-evaluated daily. The league requires teams to post their report by 5 PM ET the day before a game and update it at 1 PM ET on game day, so the most reliable version of this page is the one you read in the early afternoon Eastern time.

Estimated returns come from the team when they announce one; when the column shows a dash, no date has been given. Minutes per game are this season's averages once the season starts, so you can see how much of the rotation is on the shelf. For the salary side of a long absence, see the Hawks cap sheet.
