Korver (ankle) is set to return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Heat, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

With only Thabo Sefolosha and Walter Tavares deemed inactive for the game, Korver is expected to reprise his starting role after the Hawks recently rested him for one game over the weekend while he works his way back from offseason ankle and elbow surgery. Korver hasn’t seemed to endure any notable setbacks in his recovery to begin the season, but the Hawks could give him the occasional night off every now and then so as not to overexert him. However, with the confirmation that he’s set to play Tuesday, expect Korver to play his usual 30 minutes.
