The Atlanta Hawks face the Detroit Pistons in a regular season NBA game on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025 (12/12/25) at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Mich.

ATLANTA, GA – The Atlanta Hawks came into Sunday trying to shake off a nasty loss against the Detroit Pistons two days before. It's safe to say they were able to do that, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 120-117. It was a game where everyone pitched in, all the way down to the 10th man, in order for them to get the win.

Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out by the Atlanta Hawks for the next two weeks as he deals with an illness.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young has not played since Oct. 29th against Brooklyn due to a knee injury suffered in that game, but he could be close to return

James Harden had 27 points and nine assists, and the Los Angeles Clippers ended a five-game losing streak with a 115-92 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night in their first game after deciding to move on without Chris Paul.

While the Hawks star was dealing with a mystery illness at the time with the Celtics last season, there has been more information regarding what he was suffering from. When Shams Charania of ESPN reported Porzingis missing two more weeks, he would say that he was diagnosed with “postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.”

Tyrese Maxey will miss his second consecutive game with an illness when the 76ers face the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night at State Farm Arena. The standout point guard had been listed as doubtful on Saturday’s injury report.
