With the All-Star Break on the horizon, the Atlanta Hawks will not be deploying their normal starting lineup or rotation on Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. In fact, the Hawks will be without three starters when the game tips off, as the team announced absences on Wednesday afternoon.
Kent Bazemore (rest), Dennis Schroder (low back tightness) and Ersan Ilyasova (right shoulder sprain) will miss the proceedings and they are joined by Tyler Cavanaugh (right ankle sprain) on the shelf for this contest. Schroder’s back tightness appeared on the injury report for Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers but Ilyasova’s injury is a new one and the choice to rest Bazemore is an interesting one.
