Mike Muscala will miss a third straight game with a left ankle sprain when the Hawks host the Bulls Friday.

The reserve forward/center remained on the Hawks’ injury report Thursday afternoon.

Muscala suffered the injury after he landed on the foot of teammate Dennis Schroder just 42 seconds into his first appearance of Sunday’s game against the Bucks. He did not travel with the Hawks on their two-game road trip to New York and Detroit.
