What It Means:

This will be Bazemore's third consecutive game on the shelf, and it's a little worrying that they ruled him this early. We know that his ankle injury isn't minor, and a timetable hasn't been established for his return. In the meantime, the Hawks will move forward with Justin Holiday, Thabo Sefolosha and Lamar Patterson all contributing on the wings.

Bazemore ranks 61st in the NBA with a 2.3 nERD. He is averaging 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while hitting a superb 43.9 percent of his 3-pointers.
