Hawks lose Mack to calf injury

The Hawks lost reserve guard Shelvin Mack to a strained left calf in the second quarter.

The injury cost the Hawks their only backup point guard as it became apparent that Dennis Schroder was unavailable. Schroder, who wore a stimulant boot on his left ankle in the locker room before the game, sat at the end of the bench. He did not act like he would play when Mack left for the locker room.

Coach Mike Budenholzer did not indicate that Schroder was injured when asked specifically whether all players were available. Budenholzer said only Pero Antic would not play for rest. The reserve center was inactive.
