The Atlanta Hawks were also dealing with several absences during their Saturday win against the Miami Heat, as reported by Lauren Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Key players were unavailable, including Dyson Daniels, who was sidelined due to illness, and Bogdan Bogdanovic, who missed the game because of a left lower-leg contusion.
With these injuries impacting the roster, coach Quin Snyder had to make adjustments. Vit Krejci stepped in to replace Daniels in the starting lineup, while two-way player Keaton Wallace, who had been called up from the G League, played a significant role, logging over 13 minutes in the game.
Despite the challenges, Snyder emphasized the resilience of his team, noting how players were able to adapt to different roles.
“A lot of guys found themselves in some different situations,” Snyder said, highlighting the team’s ability to adjust to adversity and make the most of the opportunity presented to them.
