The Hawks will be without Mike Scott for Thursday’s game against the Raptors because of personal reasons.

The forward did not travel with the team from Salt Lake City to Toronto on Wednesday so he could be present at the birth of his child.

“There is a baby very close, and you want to be there for those moments,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said Thursday morning.

Scott has appeared in 58 games this season and averaged 6.3 points and 2.6 rebounds.
