Elton Brand News: Brand continues to be in and out of the Hawks' lineup, and he did not play in Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Brand continues to be in and out of the Hawks' lineup, and he did not play in Saturday's game against the Knicks.

Brand appeared to fall out of the rotation after picking up two DNP-CD's in back-to-back games last weekend, and it's unclear what his role will be going forward. The 14-year veteran now hasn't played in four of the team's last six games as Gustavo Ayon, Pero Antic and Mike Scott have assumed most of the bench minutes at power forward.
