Saddiq Bey's Season Ends with Torn ACL, Hawks Face Uphill Battle

The injury adds to the Hawks' woes as they cling to the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference.

Atlanta Hawks forward Saddiq Bey will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL in his left knee, a significant loss for the team as they aim for a play-in tournament spot.
Bey's injury occurred during the Hawks' 116-103 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, further compounding the team's injury woes as they are already without key players including Trae Young and Jalen Johnson.
The 24-year-old forward, who was averaging 13.7 points and 6.5 rebounds this season, will undergo surgery at a time yet to be determined.
Bey's absence is expected to increase minutes for younger players and impact the team's performance, especially given their current 10th place in the Eastern Conference.
The Hawks face a challenging five-game road trip ahead, which could be crucial for their play-in tournament aspirations.
