NBA Playoffs Injury Report - Thursday, April 27, 2023
In this story:
The 2022-23 NBA regular season has come to an end and with the Play-In Tournament coming to an end, it is officially time for the playoffs to begin!
On Thursday, April 27, only two teams will be in action, as the Boston Celtics will be in Atlanta to take on the Atlanta Hawks in Game 6 of their first-round series.
With their backs up against the wall down 3-1 in Boston for Game 5, the Hawks led by Trae Young were able to steal a win and extend this series, sending things back to Atlanta.
It is going to take a lot to win this game and force a decisive Game 7, but the Hawks have proven that they can hang with the defending Eastern Conference champions and in front of a sold-out and rowdy crowd in Atlanta, the Hawks will look to find a little bit of magic once more.
If the Hawks win, Game 7 of this series will take place on Saturday, but should the Celtics prevail, they will win the series and advance to play the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Below is a list of every game set to take place today, as well as every team’s injury report with their updated status leading up to tip-off in each game:
Eastern Conference Playoffs First-Round Game 6: [2] Boston Celtics (3-2) vs. [7] Atlanta Hawks (2-3) - 8:30 p.m. ET.
Celtics Injuries: Danilo Gallinari (knee) - Out
Hawks Injuries: Jaylen Brown (face) - Available
