No relief for the Hawks - at least not Tuesday.

The Hawks will be without starters Paul Millsap (left knee tightness), Kent Bazemore (right knee bone bruise) and Thabo Sefolosha (right groin strain) for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.

Bazemore appears close to a return and there is a chance the guard will be back for Wednesday’s game at the 76ers. There is not indication that Millsap and Sefolosha will be ready.

Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said Taurean Prince will more than likely get another start, the second of his NBA career, in place of Sefolosha.
