A Georgia sports theme this year has been overcoming the injuries: A thread ⬇️
Hawks: Cam Reddish and D’Andre Hunter both miss a considerate amount of time of regular season and playoffs, Trae Young misses two games during the ECF due to ankle injury Result: They do the unthinkable, upset No. 1 seed, and take the NBA Champions to 6 games in the ECF
Braves: Soroka done for the season, Ozuna suspended, Acuña ACL tear, D’Arnaud, Ynoa, and Fried all miss time due to injury. AA forced to make moves at the deadline, all three acquisitions paid off. Result: Currently in the NLCS for the second year in a row with a shot at WS
Georgia: Pickens tears ACL in spring, top 3 WRs been out, D. Washington misses 4 games, Tykee Smith foot surgery and ACL tear, Ratledge goes down game 1, JT banged up, 13 players dealing with injuries Result: No. 1 in the nation and undefeated, avg margin of victory 34.3
Falcons: Well…. Let’s just say they’re still figuring things out
Thrashers: Still waiting on an opportunity to play games again. S/o to @deano_05 for this one
