The Atlanta Hawks will be greeted by a familiar face when they head home from Boston, where they dropped their last two games.
Team mascot Harry the Hawk is expected to be good to go Tuesday for Game 5 after he suffered a groin injury from slipping on the railing at Philips Arena during Game 2.
"Harry fully understands the importance of tonight's pivotal Game 5! He's doing all he can to be ready for the team and the fans," Hawks CEO Steve Koonin said in a statement. "He's been upgraded to probable, so we're hopeful Harry can give it a go tonight. With a primetime 8:30 p.m. tipoff, Harry and our fans will have extra time to prepare to cheer the Hawks to a victory."
