The Hawks will be playing without forward John Collins, a major part of their offensive roster, for a few games.
Collins, suffering from a right foot strain, has missed the three games leading up to the All-Star break, ESPN reported.
"Following a period of rest, treatment and daily monitoring this week and throughout the All-Star break, his status will be updated as appropriate," the Hawks reported in a release.
Collins was hurt during the Hawks' recent 136-121 loss against San Antonio. He was taken to the Emory Sports Medicine Complex, where an MRI showed the strain, the Hawks reported on their site.
Collins, with an average of 16.8 points per game, is second in team scoring behind Trae Young's average of 27.7 points per game, The Official Atlanta Hawks Sports Network posted on Twitter.
He makes 53.7% of his field goal attempts and 38.8% of his three-point shots, TalkBasket.net reported.
The Hawks' first game after the All-Star break is on Feb. 24 in Chicago, ESPN reported.
