Injury Updates?

We should be getting an update on Cam tomorrow which will be 6 weeks from the initial report. I would be surprised if he plays this week or even next week.  His last report (2 weeks ago) was he just started shooting and straight line running.  So he's not seeing anything 'live' yet in terms of practice (unless that changes tomorrow).  So if he doesn't play in the upcoming 2 weeks - that leaves 4 games of the regular season for him to see some game action.

He'd have to come back like gang busters to take Solo's minutes in the playoffs.

I just didn't see how Cam would be ready with only 10 games left.  

 

 

I think they will hold Cam out for the rest of the season.

@NBASupes  You were correct that Cam had been battling the ankle/achilles soreness since the preseason.

Quote

On the injury front, the Hawks list Clint Capela (left Achilles soreness) as probable to play on Thursday, but there is more uncertainty elsewhere. Kevin Huerter (left ankle soreness) and Cam Reddish (right ankle soreness) are both questionable, with Reddish missing the team’s previous game. Rajon Rondo (right knee soreness) is doubtful to play.

I noticed this early in the preseason. I just didn't think it would linger but it did.

Well Cam is out for the rest of the regular season.  I hope this injury was the reason we saw the regression.  I hope we start seeing glances of his potential when he returns.  Hunter, Huerter, Reddish, Bogdanovic is a hell of a wing rotation.

At this point just give me Snell and Hunter and we will be ok at SF.

Doesn't it seem like as soon as one guy comes back from injury, we lose like two more every time?

We went from missing

Bogi, Hunter, Dunn

Get back Bogi, Cam goes out

Get back Dre, he goes back out

Then Snell, JC, Gallo, 

Trae goes down, here comes Gallo

Dunn comes back, down goes Kev, and BG in the same game.

There has been zero overlap of a healthy roster this season, just a rotation of bodies every night

It's amazing how well the team has done considering all these injuries.  It's rarely mentioned, although some are starting to discuss, how the Hawks are like first or second in players' game lost this season.

Cam will be unleashed in the playoffs.

[JayBirdHawk]

.... I just can't believe all the injury hits this team keep taking.  At least Huerter isn't listed as 'out'

 

 

[JayBirdHawk]

 

So if Kev can't go:

Starters - Goodwin, Bogi, Hill, Collins, Capela

1st Bench - Lou, Dunn, Gallo, Okongwu

2nd Bench - Mays, Knight, Bruno

Id say Kevin being listed as doubtful is a good sign, BG as questionable is a good sign too.

One week from now, and we might have the healthiest team we have had all season. Besides Cam, no one should be out too long.

See now - you shouldn't say that - although I hope and pray it's true.  One guy comes back, another exits, that's how it has been all year.

Prior the shoulder thing, Kevin had not missed any games. Looks like he wont be out too long though.
