Korver suffers broken nose
Kyle Korver suffered a broken nose during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Lakers and will not return.
Korver caught a shoulder from the Lakers’ Ed Davis, who was charged with an offensive foul. Korver’s nose immediately began to bleed and he was taken to the locker room for examination.
Korver played just 10 minutes without a point before leaving. Korver’s 51-game streak with a 3-pointer will end. It was the second-longest streak of his career, second to his NBA-record 127-game streak.
Korver was scheduled to get a day off Monday against the Kings. The Hawks were already resting starters Jeff Teague, DeMarre Carroll and Paul Millsap and without injured Thabo Sefolosha and Mike Scott.
