Hawks forward Josh Childress flew back to Atlanta Wednesday morning to have an MRI exam on his right knee and will likely miss Wednesday night's game in Charlotte.

Childress hyperextended his knee late in Tuesday's home loss to Detroit. He finished the game but said he woke up in pain at the team hotel in Charlotte Wednesday.

"We don't think it's anything to serious," Childress told the AJC while sipping a smoothie at the Charlotte airport. "But they wanted me to get it checked out just to be safe."
