Hawks center Mike Muscala has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday’s game against the Hornets, according to the team’s injury report Saturday.
Muscala suffered a right ankle sprain in the season opener on Tuesday and missed the past two games. He went through pre-game workout before Friday’s game against the Hornets after having been ruled out. Muscala accompanied the team on the road trip to Charlotte Sunday and Miami Tuesday.
The Hawks also listed guard Kyle Korver and forward Thabo Sefolosha, both with right ankle rehabilitation, as probable for Sunday’s game. Sefolosha sat Friday’s game against the Knicks and Korver sat Saturday’s game against the Hornets so as to not play in back-to-back games. Sefolosha said following Saturday’s game he believes the plan is for him to not appear in back-to-back games but was unsure of the timetable.
In other news, the NBA released its Last Two-Minute report from the Hawks’ 97-94 victory over the Hornets Friday. The report found only one incorrect call in the final minutes of the game. According to the report, the Hornet’s Jeremy Lin should not have been called for a foul against Jeff Teague with 15.4 seconds left. The contact was ruled incidental. Teague made two free throws after the call to put the Hawks up 96-92.
