The Hawks continue to list Dwight Howard and Tim Hardaway Jr. as out for Monday’s game at the Timberwolves but their status may be updated prior to the game. Kyle Korver will be active.

All three players missed the Hawks’ win at the Nuggets on Friday. Howard (back tightness) missed three straight games and Hardaway (right groin) missed one game. Korver (illness) was a late scratch.

The Hawks are scheduled to hold a shootaround Monday morning at which time Howard and Hardaway could have their status updated.

All three players traveled to Minnesota on Sunday in advance of the game.

Tiago Splitter (right calf strain) remains out and did not travel with the team.
