Atlanta, GA (My Sportsbook) - Atlanta Hawks forwards Al Horford and Marvin Williams will miss Game 6 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series on Friday against the Miami Heat. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Friday that Horford's sprained ankle and Williams' sprained wrist will not be healthy enough for them to participate in that contest in Miami. Horford was injured in the first half of Game 5's victory and had to be helped to the locker room. Williams has missed the last three games after suffering his injury in Game 2. Solomon Jones, who has scored only four points in 24 minutes of action in the playoffs thus far, will take over for Horford. Mo Evans will continue to fill Williams' spot on the floor. The Hawks lead the series, 3-2, and will host Game 7, if necessary, in Atlanta on Sunday. The team is looking for its first playoff series victory since 1999. |
