Mike Scott will miss a second straight game because of a left knee injury.

The Hawks reserve forward traveled with the team to Philadelphia for Saturday afternoon’s game against the 76ers but will not play. He will continue to be listed as out on the team injury report with knee soreness.

Scott has been limited in training camp due to the knee issue. He also missed Thursday’s season opener against the Wizards.

Tiago Splitter continues to be sidelined with a right hamstring strain.
