Hawks starting forward Thabo Sefolosha has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Monday’s game at the Trail Blazers. Sefolosha has missed the past seven games with a left groin injury.

The Hawks issued the updated injury report Sunday.

Sefolosha has averages of 7.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes in his 44 games this season. He injured his groin against the Bulls on Jan. 25. He played the following game against the Wizards but was forced out the past seven games.

The Hawks are 4-3 in the past seven games without Sefolosha.
