A player health update presented by @emoryhealthcare for tomorrow’s game at Houston: Jock Landale (nasal fracture): Ava Via @ATLHawks on X

What happened: Mouhamed Gueye is listed out after undergoing surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured left foot suffered during a workout last week. Henri Veesaar also remains out after being diagnosed with a torn right ACL that is expected to sideline him for the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: Landale has remained in the rotation since hurting his nose Wednesday against Orlando, suiting up at Charlotte on Friday and in Saturday's home opener. With two frontcourt teammates unavailable, the 31-year-old center carries the interior load on a one-year, $14 million contract.

By the numbers: Houston beat Atlanta 121-114 on Saturday in the first meeting between the teams. Monday marks Landale's fourth consecutive game listed with the nasal fracture.

What to watch: Atlanta faces Houston on the road Monday aiming to split the back-to-back matchups.
