Updated: Antic out versus Magic
The flu bug is going through the Hawks one by one.
Pero Antic will not play tonight nor Saturday night against the Magic due to flu-like symptons. Antic was not at shootaround Friday morning and will not travel to Orlando following the game.
Mike Scott missed Wednesday’s game against the 76ers with the illness. Earlier this season, Thabo Sefolosha missed two games and coach Mike Budenholzer missed a practice with the illness.
Scott was upgraded to probable on Thursday. He participated in morning shootaround Friday and said he expected to play.
“I feel a lot better,” Scott said with a graveled voice. “I’ll be ready for tonight. I had the flu. I’m glad it’s over and I’m ready to get back out there with my teammates.”
