Sefolosha inactive as Hawks visit Grizzlies
Dale Zanine / USA TODAY Sports
Thabo Sefolosha will not play Friday when the Atlanta Hawks visit the Memphis Grizzlies.
With Kent Bazemore back for Atlanta, the Hawks can afford to give Sefolosha the night off on the front end of a back-to-back to rest his surgically-repaired ankle. Sefolosha has performed well starting in place of Bazemore, averaging 12.7 points on 79.1 percent shooting in the last three games.
The 31-year-old swingman did play both games of a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday.
CMB says team being "cautious" with Thabo Sefolosha with two back-to-back games this week.
