Philadelphia 76ers' Danny Green out for game after straining calf early in Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers starting guard Danny Green left Game 3 of the team's Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Atlanta Hawks with a right calf strain and will not return, the Sixers said.

Green exited with 8 minutes, 15 seconds remaining in the first quarter with Philadelphia up 6-4. Matisse Thybulle subbed in for him.

The three-time NBA champion averaged 4.5 points through the first two games of the second round, shooting just 1-for-9 from 3, but dished a career-high eight assists in Philadelphia's 118-102 win in Game 2 to help even the series 1-1.
