Hawks' Sefolosha available to play vs. Knicks

Atlanta Hawks small forward Thabo Sefolosha is available to play in Sunday's contest versus the New York Knicks after missing the last two games with a knee sprain, according to Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Sefolosha has been a key contributor to the league's top bench this season, averaging 8.0 points and 4.2 rebounds on 55.9 percent shooting. The 32-year-old veteran's play has certainly been felt on the defensive end as well, with the Hawks surrendering just 90.5 points per 100 possessions when he's on the court.

The Hawks (9-3) could find themselves within a half-game of the East-leading Cleveland Cavaliers with a win at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
