The Atlanta Hawks hosted the Milwaukee Bucks for a rare 12:30 pm ET tip-off on Sunday afternoon. If that starting time seems rare, that’s because it is: Sunday’s game was the first tip before 1:00 pm ET in Atlanta since 2003.
The Hawks came into Sunday’s action with their share of injuries. Dewayne Dedmon was ruled out for the season prior to tip-off, and Taurean Prince remained out with a minor foot issue. Omari Spellman (ankle), Alex Poythress (ankle) and Miles Plumlee (knee) remain out for Atlanta.
