Thabo Sefolosha: Could be back before All-Star break

Sefolosha will be sidelined for a sixth straight game Wednesday against the
Nuggets due to the sore left groin, but based on Budenholzer’s comments, the
Hawks seem confident that the injury won’t devolve into a longer-term issue for
the veteran swingman. After Wednesday’s contest, the Hawks will have three games
on the schedule before the break, so expect Sefolosha to be evaluated on a
day-to-day basis during that span. Tim Hardaway has started the last five games
in Sefolosha’s place, averaging 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0
three-pointers in 34.6 minutes per contest.
