Hawks' Saddiq Bey Sidelined for Season with ACL Tear: Injury Woes Continue for Atlanta


The Atlanta Hawks have been hit with yet another injury setback, as forward Saddiq Bey is set to miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL in his left knee. This adds to the team's woes, as they are already missing key players such as Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu. Bey's injury comes at a crucial time for the Hawks, who are battling to secure a spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament amidst a string of unfortunate health issues.

Bey, the former Villanova standout, has been a key contributor for the Hawks this season, averaging 13.7 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. His absence further depletes an already struggling Atlanta roster, which has been forced to rely on depleted depth due to a myriad of injuries. With the playoffs looming, the Hawks face an uphill battle to stay competitive in the East as they navigate through a challenging stretch without several key pieces on the court.
