Hawks' Kyle Korver: Will not play Tuesday

Korver won't play in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers following the birth of his son Sunday, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Korver will take the next couple of days off to spend time with his wife and newborn, but he'll scheduled to rejoin the team in time for the second half of their back-to-back set Wednesday against the Bulls. In Korver's absence Tuesday, Tim Hardaway and Thabo Sefolosha are the likeliest candidates to enter the starting five, but both figure to benefit from bumps in playing time regardless of who gets promoted to the top unit.
