Hawks’ Scott out versus Spurs, MRI on knee clear
Hawks reserve forward Mike Scott will be inactive against the Spurs Saturday night, the second straight game he will miss directly related to a left knee contusion. He has not played the past three games after banging his knee in a game believed to be against the Lakers last week.
Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said that Scott had an MRI exam on his knee that came back “clean.” Beyond that, there is no timetable for his return.
Scott has averaged 5.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 11.6 minutes in 20 games this season.
Budenholzer said Tiago Splitter will be available. The reserve center missed seven straight games with a sore right hip. He returned against the Mavericks Wednesday but did not play against the Thunder Thursday for what the team termed hip rehabilitation.
