After being strong all season long, the Hawks faltered down stretch in the playoffs. Sure, the Cavs were simply the better team, but losing Kyle Korver during that series and Thabo Sefolosha prior to the playoffs didn’t help.
The good news is that they are getting better. Korver is nearing his return to the court and Thabo isn’t too far behind.
Surgically repaired Hawks players Thabo Sefolosha, Kyle Korver and Shelvin Mack have all been cleared for basketball activities to differing degrees a week before the start of training camp, coach Mike Budenholzer said.
“I would say, to differing degrees, they are doing basketball activities now,” Budenholzer said Monday. “Whether it’s some 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 between now and camp there is the potential for some 5-on-5 in a limited kind of way. But shooting, working out and doing those types of things, they are making good progress.”
