The Atlanta Hawks’ bench played well in last night’s victory against the Washington Wizards, but will be without forward Mike Scott again on Saturday according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore. Scott has struggled with a knee injury throughout training camp, and that setback continues to sideline him.
The team didn’t miss Scott last night, leaning on a strong bench performance from Tim Hardaway Jr. to defeat the Wizards. However, Scott plays a key role off the bench and any prolonged absence would be a concern for this team.
