A left ankle injury will sideline the Hawks‘ Omari Spellman for at least four weeks, writes Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The rookie forward had an MRI on Saturday that revealed a low grade high ankle sprain with associated soft tissue injury, the Hawks announced. He suffered the injury in Friday’s game against the Bulls.
The team plans to re-evaluate Spellman’s condition in four weeks, which would force him to miss 14 of Atlanta’s remaining 19 games. If he requires additional recovery time, there’s a chance we won’t see him again this season.
Spellman is averaging 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 46 games this season.
