Antic (illness) won't play Monday against the Bulls, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The absence marks three in a row due to the illness, but even before the malady, Antic had failed to reach 20 minutes on the court in four consecutive games. During that span, he mustered 6.8 points (on 32 percent shooting), two rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 15 minutes per contest. With Antic out of commission, the Hawks have relied upon Mike Scott and Elton Brand as the sole big men off the bench.
