Mike Scott: Will be out four weeks

After missing the first two games of the regular season, it ends up that the soreness in Scott’s left knee was a lot more serious than initially thought. Luckily for the Hawks, the play of Mike Muscala through the first two games has allowed the team to remain stable in the frontcourt, as the big man has scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds off the bench in the two outings. Look for Muscala to maintain that role of playing 20-plus minutes off the bench for as long as Scott is out.
