Sefolosha will not play on front end of back-to-back Tuesday

As expected, the Atlanta Hawks are not letting swingman Thabo Sefolosha play in back-to-back games for the time being, and as a result he will not play Tuesday against the Miami Heat.

He should play Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets.

The Hawks are still being careful with Sefolosha as he recovers from a broken right fibula suffered during an April arrest in New York. The defensive specialist missed last Thursday's game, the front end of a back-to-back. He is averaging 3.7 points and 2.7 steals in 19 minutes over three games.

The Hawks have four more back-to-backs in November after Tuesday and Wednesday.
