Al Horford, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and Tiago Splitter did not travel with the Hawks to Detroit for tonight’s exhibition finale against the Pistons.

In addition, Thabo Sefolosha is listed as doubtful with ankle rehabilitation.

The starting lineup will be announced before the 7:30 p.m. tipoff. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said Thursday that not all members of the team would travel and the final preseason game would afford him the opportunity to play younger players more minutes.
