Atlanta Hawks injury report (Jan. 7): Latest update on Trae Young and Bogdan Bogdanović's status

The Atlanta Hawks are on the road to face the Utah Jazz on Tuesday for their first encounter of the 2024-25 NBA season. The game is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. ET at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.

Ahead of the game, the Hawks have six players on their injury report. Trae Young and Bogdan Bogdanović are listed as probable, and their participation will be a game-time decision. Meanwhile, Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr. and Cody Zeller are listed as out, and Kobe Bufkin is out for the season.

Young is dealing with a right Achilles tendinitis. However, he has been quite durable this season and is expected to suit up against the Jazz. Meanwhile, Bogdanović is suffering from a lingering lower left leg contusion and is expected to play on Tuesday after he didn't suit up for the Hawks in their previous matchup.

Moreover, Johnson has been working through inflammation in his right shoulder and will miss his second straight game. Nance underwent surgery last week to repair the fractured fourth metacarpal bone in his right hand, and he will be reevaluated in two weeks.
