A player health update presented by @emoryhealthcare for tomorrow's game at Orlando: Mouhamed Gueye (left foot fracture Via @ATLHawks on X

What happened: Atlanta lists Mouhamed Gueye as out with a left foot fracture and Henri Veesaar as out with a torn right ACL for the game at Orlando. Mouhamed Gueye underwent surgery to repair the fractured left foot in July.

Why it matters: The absences remove two frontcourt options as Atlanta evaluates rotation depth in preseason. The Orlando trip leaves another lineup opening for healthy bigs with the 2026-27 opener approaching.

By the numbers: Gueye: left foot fracture, July surgery to repair fracture. Veesaar: torn right ACL.

What to watch: Atlanta issues its next game-status update before tipoff in Orlando.
