Stuckey (ankle) will remain out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.

Analysis:

It will be the eighth consecutive absence for Stuckey, who continues to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis while recovering from a right foot sprain and bone bruise. Though he was able to do some conditioning work at Wednesday's practice, it's still unclear how much longer Stuckey will be sidelined. Both George Hill and Monta Ellis will continue to see big minutes in starting roles while Stuckey is out, while Joe Young and Glenn Robinson hold down minor duties as backups off the bench.
