Trae Young headlines lengthy Hawks injury report

Trae Young is one of five players on the Hawks' injury report. Along with Young, Cody Zeller, De'Andre Hunter, Zaccharie Risacher and Larry Nance Jr. are each listed on the injury report for Monday.

Larry Nance Jr. is listed as questionable due to right-hand injury management. His wrist injury has nagged him throughout the month, forcing him to miss extended time earlier in January. De'Andre Hunter is listed as day-to-day due to an illness.

Zaccharie Risacher is listed as questionable versus the Timberwolves. Risacher has missed Atlanta's last three games due to a left adductor strain. The Hawks have ruled out veteran big man Cody Zeller, who has yet to report to the team this season.

Zeller was acquired by Atlanta in the New Orleans' Pelicans trade for Dejounte Murray during the offseason.
