Updated: Antic out vs. Bulls

UPDATE: Pero Antic was declared out for Monday's game against the Bulls with flu-like symptoms.

Hawks center Pero Antic has been upgraded to questionable after missing the past two games with flu-like symptoms.

Antic participated in morning shootaround Monday in advance of tonight’s game against the Bulls. However, coach Mike Budenholzer said Antic’s status would be a game-time decision.

“I think we’ll know more tonight,” Budenholzer said.

Antic missed games against the Magic Friday and Saturday with the illness. He joins Thabo Sefolosha and Mike Scott as players to have missed games due to the illness.

On the Bulls injury front, center Joakim Noah is listed as doubtful with a right ankle injury that has cost him three games.
