Mike Scott will miss at least four weeks for a series of non-surgical procedures on his sore left knee. The injury has plagued the Hawks forward from the start of training camp and forced him to miss the first two regular-season games.
The non-surgical procedures will be similar to the ones that kept forward Paul Millsap out of the first three weeks of training camp. The procedures could involve platelet-rich plasma injections. Scott’s knee experienced swelling even during a team photo shoot prior to the start of training camp.
Scott averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.3 minutes in 75 games off the bench last season.
