Onyeka Okongwu Questionable for Hawks’ Game Against Suns on January 9th with Facial Contusion
Onyeka Okongwu of the Atlanta Hawks is dealing with a facial contusion. His status is questionable for the upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns on January 9th. The injury occurred recently, and it is uncertain if he will be ready to play.
What It Means
If Onyeka Okongwu is unable to play, the Hawks might need to adjust their lineup. He has been averaging 10.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this season. His shooting percentage stands at an impressive 53.9%.
The team may rely more on Clint Capela, who ranks first in their center depth chart, or give Cody Zeller some playing time. With Okongwu’s recent performance in mind, missing him could impact the team’s rebounding strength against the Suns.
