Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images The Atlanta Hawks will be without center Kristaps Porzingis and point guard Trae Young when they face the Raptors on Saturday night in Toronto.
Porzingis had returned to play in Atlanta's last two games after missing 10 with an unspecified illness, though he came off the bench and was limited to 17 minutes in each of those games. He is listed as out Saturday related to his return-to-competition reconditioning.
Young will miss his fourth straight game with a right quad contusion. He had only been back in action since Dec. 18 after missing 22 games with a sprained right knee.
The Hawks also will be without guard Luke Kennard (back soreness) on Saturday.
Porzingis is averaging 17.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this season, while Young -- a four-time All-Star -- is at 19.3 ppg and 8.9 assists.
Kennard is averaging 7.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
