Hawks' Korver to undergo elbow surgery

Threezus is still a little dinged up.

One month after undergoing surgery on the right ankle injury that knocked him out of the Eastern Conference Finals, Atlanta Hawks guard Kyle Korver will have his right elbow scoped.

Korver's surgery will be conducted by Dr. David Altchek in New York.

Such cleanup procedures are commonplace in the offseason and the elbow on Korver's 34-year-old shooting arm has hoisted more than 1,800 field-goal attempts over the last three seasons.

Korver was a first-time All-Star in 2014-15, his career year coming in a franchise-record season for the Hawks. The sharpshooter hit just short of half of his shots from deep, adding to a true shooting percentage of almost 70 percent.
