Shelvin Mack suffered a shoulder injury and left Quicken Loans Arena in a sling following the Hawks loss to the Cavaliers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday. The injury is believed to be a separation of the right shoulder.

Mack was hurt with 2:01 left in the fourth quarter of the 118-88 loss. He was in considerable pain and laid on the floor for several minutes after taking a hit.

Mack was taken by a trainder to the medical room at the arena following the game. He was still in visable pain in his walk to and from the examination.
