Kyle Korver was back in the Hawks lineup Sunday after missing the past three games with a broken nose.

Korver will wear a protective mask, which he had on during pregame warmups before taking on the Spurs.

"It's not ideal," Korver said following his warm-up.

The starting shooting guard was injured last Sunday in Los Angeles and had a surgical procedure the following day. He missed the rest of the road trip as the Hawks went 1-2 without him.
