A bug has hit another member of the Atlanta Hawks.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer was not at practice Monday with what the team described as an illness. Currently, the team expects Budenholzer to coach Tuesday’s home game against the Celtics.

Thabo Sefolosha recently missed two games with flu-like symptoms. The guard/forward returned for Saturday’s win over the Hornets but played just six minutes. Sefolosha said he required IV fluids Friday to help him get over the illness.
