BREAKING: Hawks' Kyle Korver Out For The Playoffs With Right Ankle Injury

The Atlanta Hawks' fading chances in the Eastern Conference Finals took yet another major blow on Saturday morning, as 3-point sharpshooter Kyle Korver has been ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs with a right ankle injury.

Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution was the first to report the news:

Per Vivlamore, Korver "will undergo further tests on his right ankle injury that will determine if surgery is necessary."

Korver was hurt in the third quarter of Game 2 of the team's home loss to the Cleveland Cavs on Friday night when he and Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova collided chasing a loose ball. Korver was immediately helped off the floor to the Hawks locker room. The team would later release an update on Korver saying that he was doubtful to return with an ankle sprain.
