The Hawks issued their injury report on Thursday – and for the first time all season it was blank.

Thabo Sefolosha was removed from the report after missing the past nine games with a left groin injury. He is expected to play in Friday’s game against the Heat but no decision has been made as to whether he will be in the starting lineup at small forward. Tim Hardaway Jr. started all nine games that Sefolosha missed with the injury.

Tiago Splitter has been listed on the injury report as out all season with right hip and calf injuries. The center was traded to the 76ers on Wednesday.

The Hawks will have a roster of 12 active players before the game against the Hawks so they will not need to list any inactives.
